Gluten Free Cutie's Gluten Free Whoopie Pie |
Gluten Free Cutie is a boutique bakery with shabby-chic interior-even a porch swing inside- where all offerings are gluten free, dye free, egg free, peanut free and some dairy free. It's a mom & pops shop with close attention to detail and a variety of gluten free goodies, from apple pie and buns to quiche. I sampled several items:
Whoopie Pies- they were ok...fudgy, dense, a touch dry with a filling resembling marshmallow fluff. Didn't finish it. A bite was enough.
Apple-Pie-In-A-Jar which was flavorful and served warm with a flaky, buttery crust and sugary, crumbly topping- 5 stars!
Cake Pops that were loaded with flavor, but overly sweet for my taste. Didn't finish mine.
and, of course,
Cupcakes that were all with a great, fluffy-ish texture, great flavors from which to choose, many with fillings and lovely and tasty frostings (not that overly sugary buttercream, more like a soft, mushy, frosting with a bit of a marshmallow-like texture to it) and toppings. Two thumbs way up for the best-seller, The Devil Went Down to Georgia! Seth (part-time gluten-eater) loved it as well! I also loved the Cinnamon one and the peach one with peach fruit inside. The Smore's one was pretty good, with a springy, marshmallow "frosting" with a hint of graham cracker flavoring and a chocolate cake with chocolate-filled center.
Best of luck to the newly open Gluten Free Cutie! Seth felt the inside of the shop was a bit loud acoustically, with it hard to have an intimate conversation without everyone hearing you, or you hearing them. I would suggest that they partner with Sally's (frozen foods) Bakery to sell frozen baked goods in larger quantities that people can take home, while bringing in more traffic for GFC. I think it's a tough row to hoe for gluten free only places to go it alone.
