Review: My obsession and love of turtles manifested itself on to my birthday cupcakes! Aren’t these the cutest little turtles you’ve ever seen? Too add, the cupcakes were absolutely delicious as always-how does Red Bandana Bakery manage to create an addictive vanilla cupcake that is gluten with vegan frosting that is so mouthwatering, and so light-goes great with any kind of milk!! I said it once and I will say it again, Red Bandana is the best gluten-free bakery ever!!! Why go anywhere else? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And once again this bakery hit a home run with a delicious cupcake for my sister-in-laws' 60th Birthday with a Snoopy theme! She was totally in surprise by the Snoopy details on each cupcake and happily in Heaven with the taste! In her owns words, "I have never seen Snoopy on a cupcake, and each cupcake had him in different poses, this was totally amazing And I might add a delicious cupcake!....Thanks Jamie and staff for making her day special!! (May14, 2024) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Bandana Bakery makes the ultimate carrot cake-the best on this planet! Unlike other gluten-free carrot cakes, which I have tasted before, which have been too heavy, too bland, too sweet, awful frosting the Red Bandana Bakery has created by far a gluten-free carrot cake that should be featured on the Food Network] Who knew that me asking for them to make a carrot cake without nuts with buttercream frosting would end up testing, so good I end up ordering another one under the guise of an excuse to honor a loved ones birthday🙏🏿🥹🎂😎🙏🏿😇🥰🥰 I am not sure how they do it, but it’s like magic! And the design was perfect! I asked for sin flowers and creatively they created some flowers using buttercream.(oh my gosh, some flowers from delicious! Gluten-free is definitely the way to go in if I’m going to have a gluten-free cake, cupcake or any other product definitely this is a place to go. I’m already thinking of ideas for my birthday in June!! The owner /operator Jaimie Mertz is the nicest, most professional, friendly and courteous person to interact with – every year when they come to her to create cupcakes or carrot cakes, she somehow imagines the most creative way to bring decorations and something to eat to suction of a level I feel very sad to even eat the item – as you know from this cake photos! PS she even created me made cupcakes for me with Gnomes on them for my birthday one year!! It’s time for Red Bandana Bakery to get a James Beard Award

Review: Delicious and adorable cookies! Jaimie is an amazing baker and cookie designer— she was able to create delicious cookies for the two bachelorettes that I planned— one set was gluten free. Both sets were a hit! Great service, cost, taste, and design! Highly recommend! Thanks to @pikeandrozay for the recommendation!

Review: CREATIVELY DELICIOUS - THESE CUPCAKE DESIGNS WERE A HIT AT THE DC PUBLIC LIBRARY INAUGURAL HORROR FILM FESTIVAL! Oh my gosh, I was totally blown away! When I decided to order some cupcakes to boost up the ambience of my comedy-horror film, one of six feature films at this event, I had no idea of what suggested designed to give or even the colors for the 36 cupcakes. When I picked up the cupcakes and saw how creatively Red Bandana Bakery, put on there “MAGIC ARTIST HAT” and somehow managed to think of a way to decorate the cupcakes to reflect not just a theme of the event, but also reflective of the poster advertisement For this film festival, I along with all other attendees were left speechless. How do they do it? Who knew that the gluten-free cupcake could be created with vegan frosting that taste absolutely delicious – everyone was blown away that the cupcakes were gluten-free with vegan frosting. I continue to have peace of mind that when I ask for something to be creative and don’t not have any ideas of the direction of it this cake or cupcake Jaime and her crew come together and create a product that leaves your stomach, happily satisfied with peace of mind that what you are eating is gluten-free and even has vegan frosting! KUDOS RED BANDANA! 🥳♥️🙌🏿😃🥰 ………………………………………………………….. Mouthwatering, delicious, addictive, and has never failed me yet! It’s this time of year, I always get a cake or cupcakes for my partner’s birthday- this time I tried the carrot cake with the traditional buttercream frosting (without milk ) versus the vegan which I usually get… oh my gosh-I’m not ashamed to I had a “Hallelujah” moment as I savored every bite from beginning to end –it as good was just as good as the vegan ♥️😊🙌🏿. To add, I want it sunflowers and giraffes on the cupcakes – I don’t know what magical fairy dust Jamie uses to make her creations come to fruition from your vision/mine to on a cupcake exactly do you want it?- aren’t these sun flowers and giraffes so adorable? I will honestly admit. I think Red Bandana has the best gluten-free bake goods I have ever tasted to date. I’m not gonna lie. I’ve tasted a lot of gluten-free baked goods all around this countryy, and I can honestly say From perspective from a native New Yorker that Red Bandanna has the gluten-free carrot cake, or cupcake I have tasted to date; heck, even the cupcakes of other flavors!!! have never been disappointed in all these years 🥳I do try to discipline myself when buying any baked goods from here and I at attempt to freeze (They freeze), but I’ll admit they don’t last long because they are sooo good!! It’s such a great feeling knowing that I can go somewhere and get something sweet to eat or even if I a slice of gluten-free-vegan pizza be happily satisfy way to go Red Bandana!!! Kim

Review: Jaime was so helpful when I needed a quick turnaround for a gluten free cake for my mom's birthday! I called to place the order over the phone, and she explained what flavors and fillings were available for next day pick up, and asked about any other dietary restrictions/allergies. Everything at this bakery is gluten free, so I didn't feel limited to just a handful of choices. I'll definitely be ordering again whenever I need gluten free baked goods!
