CAKE DAD presents: Montreal Cake Directory

These people will make you cake

Hello hello,

I got back from Italy last week and am finally finishing up all of the projects that I started before I left. I travelled with my mother to Florence then down the coast of Puglia stopping in little towns and gorging myself on all of the gluten-free food that Italy has to offer. Italy tests its population for celiac disease, has dedicated gluten-free grocery stores and restaurants, and gives a monthly stipend to celiacs to pay for gluten-free food. It is HEAVEN. And I will tell you all about it, soon. 

 I am still on cake sabbatical and am still eating a very restricted diet with little sugar and grain so my baking is limited to stodgy protein powder muffins (5/10) and sunflower seed digestive biscuits (9/10) the latter of which I hope to finish testing and post a recipe for soon. Subscribers will be receiving my recipe for lactation cookies (but I mean they're good for everyone just please, please don’t add the brewers yeast).

As promised, I have compiled a list of Montreal bakers (mostly home bakers and some brick and mortars). I’ve tried to list their specializations but please note, not all of these bakers are gluten-free so make sure you check!

I’m also linking this here for customers and home bakers on the safety of cottage food or food prepared at home and sold (it’s so safe!). Quebec does not have clear cottage food guidelines which makes it really hard to run a business! Lord knows I hate to praise Ontario’s business practices but they did change their home food laws during the pandemic making it easier for people (mostly women and immigrants) to sell food that they prepare from home.

Please do yourself and these bakers a favour and check their profiles for information on how to order! Some bakers don’t take orders through DM so check if they have an email, form, or website.
