Something Sweet Without Wheat is now nationwide!



1-800-Bakery.com



Something Sweet Without Wheat loves supporting local businesses, it is an amazing thing to be able to develop a small community with store owners and foodies an all around MA and NH that are as passionate as SSWW when it comes to providing homemade specialties. 





One of our new closest friends is Chef Steve, a local bakery owner out of Winchester, MA who happens to be an award winning pastry chef, and a master at creating and selling a mouth watering selection of European pastry. Chef Steve opened La Patisserie in Winchester center in the 1970's and it has been famous among the Boston area for decades. 


But Chef Steve couldn't settle for only providing for walk-ins, everybody deserves their favorite baked treat no matter where they are, right? so in 2004 he created the concept of an online bakery, 1-800 Bakery, because according to Chef Steve "Every successful neighborhood bakery has a sweet scented claim to fame--that cookie, pastry, or cake that makes them special and that everyone in town raves about. The treat that reminds you of home, even if you find yourself miles away.." Needless to say, the concept of an online bakery took off, and Chef Steve has been on a hunt for only the best bakeries across the country to provide for anyone who knows and appreciates a perfected dessert. 


Gluten Free Black and White Birthday Cake



So that's where Something Sweet Without Wheat comes in! Chef Steve has helped the bakery every step of the way to launch online sales with 1-800 Bakery, because nothing is sweeter than a surprise cake or box of cookies at your doorstep, especially if you have allergies! 





Something Sweet Without Wheat is currently selling four different products that can be delivered right to your home. These treats include the popular Black and White Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Lemon Drop Cookies, and the Shadow Birthday Cake! Check them out!

Who says you can't still enjoy something sweet, without wheat?

Storefront in Woburn, MA
Who says food allergies have to ruin your mealtime experience? Something Sweet Without Wheat is a blossoming family-owned bakery that has taken this challenge above and beyond, and has really perfected the gluten-free, dairy-free challenge in just under a year. They are now focusing on offering many more delightful treats, in many more familiar locations. SSWW is out of Woburn, MA and now you can stay up to date, and get to know the bakery on a much more personal level with a blog! 


Anise Cookies
A little history: Something Sweet Without Wheat was developed out of two sisters' passion for baking. Christine and Sandy were raised with a love for the kitchen, and when gluten and dairy intolerances were diagnosed first to Sandy's daughter, and eventually Christine and her kids, the ability to bake the treats they knew and loved became nothing but a new challenge. Some may think "going gluten-free" is just a fad, but Christine has been faced with stomach problems through out her life. Doctors could not come up with a diagnosis for years, and eventually it was discovered she had Ulcerative Colitis. After continuous medications, diet changes, etc. going gluten-free was the first thing Christine had tried that was actually effective. Once perfected, family members and friends raved about the unnoticeably gluten-free products, so, in August 2010, Christine and Sandy made the decision to sell them at the Stoneham Farmer's Market to see how it would go. 


Some of SSWW products ready to be delivered
Exactly a year later SSWW products are available in  20+ locations, and the varieties and products available have expanded beyond a house-sized kitchen and into a new commercial bakery complete with all the needs to produce larger quantities without giving up that same old homemade touch. The staff at SSWW is made up of family members and close friends, and although the staff is expanding, the great energy that goes into all of these delicious recipes is only becoming greater.
