Review: Honestly, the pastries, in general, are dry and lack flavor. Came here with a friend and we sampled several items. I have had much, much better GF + vegan pastries. Add the pricing to the mix and it's just not worth it.

Review: Not sure what the negative reviews are about… my girlfriend has celiac, so we have both tried our fair share of GF alternatives. As someone who still eats foods containing gluten, I can barely tell a difference between their products and gluten containing products. That is not to diminish their product either. Everything I have tried has been DELICIOUS!

Review: I had given up on birthday cake due to very bad bloating. I have gotten accustomed to just watching everyone else eat cake at celebrations. This year I turned 40 and it just seemed wrong to not have a cake even if all I ate was a razor thin slice and paid a price for it. I ordered the cake and picked it up from Alex. I told her she IS THE gluten free and vegan cake maker in STL and she told me it is her mission for everyone to be able to have cake. I almost teared up when she said this - I have been so isolated from so many things due to dietary restrictions. It is so incredible to have someone care so much and work so hard to make food so I can be included - any food I can eat is good, but her cakes are DELICIOUS. PUNCH LINE: Alex's cake didn't make me bloated! This is a small miracle. I LOVED her cake and I felt great after eating it. I could hug Alex right now! I didn't want a super sugary cake and she recommended her pumpkin cake. Oh my god it was good! A 6 in, 3 layer cake - it looked small but it was so dense and thick it lasted 3 people over a week... LOL. It was the weight of a bowling ball. My parents and husband are not restricted with their diets and they loved the cake. I was prepared to have cake I could eat, but I was not prepared for everyone to also love it and not just put up with it. The cherry on top! :-D Top Favorite Things to Note: 1. Alex's flour doesn't have almonds in it like the other bakeries in town (I am allergic to almonds). 2. You can request soy-free icing (she makes it with coconut instead and it just requires more vigilant refrigeration). The icing was SO GOOD. 3. At the time of this review, Alex takes a 7 day advance custom cake order (especially if you request soy-free icing) and you can pick it up at the shop between 10 am & 2 pm. Note: this is a two-woman show and so you coordinate a time to pick it up - there is no store front with extra staff (like some of the other review photos seem to show - the windows are papered over right now and they bring the cake out to your car when you pull up). Leave a few days to coordinate on cake type and size, etc via email or phone for the easiest experience. They are super helpful with questions and suggestions if you don't know what to do. She said she is working on a more detailed website but until then you can just work out flavors, icings, etc. She can do pretty much anything you want. 4. She very graciously accommodated my husband's request for way more text than any sane person would think might fit on a cake. (see photo. Thank you, Alex 😉) 5. You can sample her cosmic brownies (see photo), cookie cakes, muffins, cupcakes, breads, etc. at Fresh Thyme in the Foundry location in St. Louis. At the time of this writing she delivers on Fridays in the early afternoon and either Sunday or Monday. So check those days/times for fresh stock. My parents and I loved the cosmic brownies! They are mildly sweet with an amazing chocolate flavor. We'll be trying the cookie cake next. Alex - thank you for my wonderful 40th birthday pumpkin cake! Everyone raved about it! I will be getting more cake from you when I am town!!!
