1. What inspired you to become a baker? Why the focus on gluten-free?

I have had a passion for baking ever since I was a little girl. and I have a wicked sweet tooth. While I was pregnant with my son, I discovered I needed to follow a gluten free diet. I never realized how hard it is to find a good gluten free brownie or chocolate cake. Therefore I focused my business on gluten-free baked goods to bring delicious desserts (that happen to be gluten free) to a population that, in my experience, has the hardest time finding delicious food.

2. Are there other highlights of your products?  Dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free etc?

While we do use eggs and dairy in our kitchen, we always offer at least one dairy-free or vegan option at our markets. I’ve met many people who have other severe allergies (dairy, corn, soy, nuts, etc) on top of a gluten intolerance. Therefore, I think its important these customers have options for desserts too. I’ve also been working on sugar-free recipes.

Being a small business myself, I love to support other small businesses. During the summer and fall months, much of my produce comes from local farms. One of the benefits of selling at a farmers market, is the ability to shop around and get inspired for new desserts each week.

3. What steps do you take to ensure that Missy’s Sweet Treats items are truly gluten-free?

I am a dedicated gluten-free baker, and my prep space is gluten free all of the time. For our business, everything gluten free is made by me, and is labeled as such. There is one product we sell, our candied pecans, that are not made in my kitchen. These are made in my mother’s kitchen, and are not labeled gluten free.

I try to use only certified gluten-free products, but for things like walnuts I do call companies to inquire about quality standards and the chances of cross contact in facilites. I use the GF Harvest Quick Cook Oats in one of my cookies.

4. Can you share a story of a customer who’s been greatly impacted by your business?

I’m extremely lucky to meet many people who are grateful for the option of tasty gluten-free, vegan or dairy free desserts. At one of my first farmers markets, a customer happened to walk past our booth. She noticed our gluten-free sign, and stopped dead in her tracks. She came to our table and asked what options were gluten-free.

Much to her delight, they all were. She decided to purchase one of everything at the table! She was very encouraged and thankful for quality baked goods, that not only taste great, but were also made in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. To this day, she keeps returning. I am so grateful for her and others like her, because their reactions make this job fulfilling.

5. What would you like consumers to know about Missy’s Sweet Treats?

I’d like customers to know that I started this small business to make fresh, scratch made gluten free desserts accessible to everyone. We should all be able to enjoy the simpler things in life. I look forward to baking for you and making you smile along the way.
