Who Owns The Celiac Shack? Does it have a Storefront?
Beth Schroeder, who lives in Richmond Michigan, is the owner and baker of The Celiac Shack. She does not operate a storefront, and bakes out of her home kitchen under Michigan’s cottage law rules.
She mostly sells from her front porch, and occasionally does pop-ups. Learn more about his business in the following interview with Beth.
What inspired you to become a baker?
My inspiration for baking initially came from my grandmother. She was a wonderful baker and cook. She always made even simple items special and delicious.
Now I gain inspiration from lots of cookbooks and cooking shows. I love Ina Garten and her easy elegant recipes.
What’s Your Background in Gluten Free Baking?
I was diagnosed with celiac in 2012. There weren’t many store bought options for treats or bread at the time, and what there was, wasn’t great.
Therefore, if I wanted something I learned to make it gluten free. It took practice to adjust to gluten free flours! Now everyone loves the treats, and they don’t miss the gluten!
Do you only use certified gluten free flours?
I use only certified gluten free flours. I mainly use Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur gluten free flours.
- Do you use oats, oat flour, or oat milk in your baked goods?
- I also use Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats, which are certified too.
- I know some can be sensitive to oats so, I only use whole oats in my recipes like cookies or crumbles. However, I don’t mix oat flour or use oat milk in recipes.
- Do you use certified gluten free wheat starch in any of your baked goods?
- No, I never use gluten free flours that contain gluten free wheat starch.
What Other Precautions do you take?
Other precautions I take are making sure pans and baking dishes are only used for gluten free.
Most importantly, mixers and bowls have only been used for gluten free products.I In addition, I only use butter or gluten free cooking sprays to grease pans.
I use a Convection oven for baking, which has strictly been used for gluten free items.
The work space in my kitchen is 100% gluten free. There is NO wheat flour used in the home.
While there are pre-packaged foods such as crackers in my m house for my grandchildren, they are not allowed in the kitchen while I’m baking.
I follow Michigan cottage law for cleaning and sanitizing my work area.
Are your baked goods free from other allergens?
Gluten is the only item my baked goods are completely free of.
However, I have a few items that are free of dairy: banana bread, carrot spice mini muffins, peanut butter cookies, bagels, and apple walnut bars.
In addition, I also offer vegan chocolate cupcakes. I provide a grain-free chocolate chip cookie made only with almond flour.
What Kinds of Gluten Free Baked Goods Do You Offer?
I offer a little bit of everything! I make gluten free cookies, cakes and crumbles, muffins and scones, and even cinnamon rolls on occasion.

What customer feedback has brought you the most joy?
The customer’s feedback that has brought me the most joy is hearing that they are so glad to have a baker that provides something sweet that is delicious and gluten free.
What Do Customers Say About The Celiac Shack?
“If you’re looking for gluten-free treats that don’t compromise on flavor, The Celiac Shack is an absolute must-try!
I recently tried their pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls, and wow—both were phenomenal.
The pumpkin pie was perfectly spiced, creamy, and had a crust that tasted just like the real deal (maybe even better!).
The cinnamon rolls were soft, gooey, and bursting with cinnamon goodness—honestly, you’d never guess they’re gluten-free.
What I love most is that they’ve managed to create baked goods that feel indulgent and comforting, without the worry for those of us who have family avoiding gluten. The quality and care they put into their products really shines through.
Richmond is lucky to have this bakery, and I can’t wait to go try more of their menu. If you’re gluten-free—or even if you’re not—do yourself a favor and check out The Celiac Shack. You won’t be disappointed! ~ Doug M. (Taken from The Celiac Shack FB page.)
What would you like consumers to know about your products and your business?
I would like consumers to know that I always use the best quality ingredients I can. At The Celiac Shack, I provide the same quality and attention to detail for my clients as I would for myself. For example, I use avocado oil in my baking, which may be a healthier option.
If you sell at markets, do packaged goods have labeled ingredients and your business name?
I only occasionally sell at markets. Most of my sales happen right from my front porch, by appointment. I have done pop-ups at Blake’s Orchard Local Loaf event, and occasionally at the Richmond Farmers Market.
My packaging does include labels with ingredients listed, business address, net weight, and Michigan cottage law disclaimer.
How should customers place a special order? Do you ship?
If a customer would like to place an order, they can send a message through Facebook Messenger. I typically need a couple days notice. I don’t currently ship.
