Kendrick's Cheesecakes and Confections Hand-crafted cheesecakes made from scratch with a mission. Featuring my signature scratch-made graham crust. Message me to start your order. Baking with Purpose.

As a baker with multiple food allergies, I specialize in soy-free, corn syrup-free, and dye-free desserts. From Scratch. For Everyone. This business started because I was tired of being afraid of my food. Living with multiple allergies to soy, corn syrup, nuts, and artificial dyes made finding a safe dessert nearly impossible. So, I went to the kitchen and started from scratch—literally. Today, I

specialize in premium cheesecakes made with hand-mixed spices and a signature graham cracker crust made entirely from scratch. My mission is to provide delicious, worry-free treats for families who deal with food sensitivities, without ever sacrificing flavor. Signature Quality: No corn syrup | No artificial dyes | No soy | 100% Hand-crafted.

Its crazy that people try to scam your business through Facebook. Just an fyi, you do not need to give your email address to receive payment through cash app.

My first attempt at Tiramisu, no cocoa. Completely from scratch. Making the ladyfingers was quite the learning experience. There's no alcohol either which may or may not have affected how it is traditionally supposed to turn out. I was told that it was too creamy. I'm not sure how sturdy tiramisu is supposed to be. Either way Its freakin delicious to me!

I have a confession: This business didn’t start because I wanted to sell cakes. It started because I was tired of being afraid of my food.

For years, I’ve navigated a "minefield" of reactions to soy, corn (including corn syrup), peanuts, tree nuts, chocolate, and artificial dyes. If you’ve ever tried to find a store-bought treat that doesn't contain at least one of those, you know it’s a nearly impossible task.
It is no fun trying to enjoy a celebration while risking your safety and gut health. So, I set out to change the rules.

I wanted desserts I could actually eat. I wanted treats that didn’t have a single ingredient I would react to. Through a lot of trial and error, endless research, and a stack of baking science books, I taught myself how to make desserts from scratch.

Cheesecake became my obsession. I focused all my attention there until I had a recipe I was proud of. Today, every single element—even the graham crackers for the crust—is made by hand in my kitchen.
Being able to bake without these allergens allows me to offer something special to families who deal with the same sensitivities I do. As I grow, I hope to expand into even more options, including: ✅ Dairy-free ✅ Diabetic-friendly ✅ Gluten-free

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve purchased a dessert, shared my posts, or told a friend, you are helping me make celebrations safer (and more delicious) for everyone.
Does anyone else in your family deal with food sensitivities? I’d love to hear your story in the comments! 👇

P.S. Happy New Year! I'm wishing you all a healthy, safe, and sweet 2026. I can't wait to bake for you this year!

The "Made From Scratch" Promise: What’s In Our Kitchen
Transparency is at the heart of everything I bake. Because I live with multiple food allergies myself, I control every single ingredient that enters my kitchen. When you order from me, you are getting a dessert that is truly made from scratch—no shortcuts, no hidden additives.

What we NEVER use: ❌ Corn Syrup: No high-fructose corn syrup in any part of the process. ❌ Soy: We avoid soy-based oils, lecithins, and fillers. ❌ Artificial Dyes: No Red 40, Yellow 5, or synthetic colors. ❌ Peanuts & Tree Nuts: A strictly nut-free environment for my core recipes. ❌ Store-Bought Graham Crackers: Most brands contain soy or corn syrup, so I bake my own graham crackers from scratch for every crust.

What we DO use: ✅ Real Butter: For that signature "caramelly" golden-brown crust. ✅ Home-Mixed Spices: I hand-blend my own cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for peak flavor. ✅ Pure Extracts: Only high-quality, natural flavors. ✅ Whole Ingredients: Fresh eggs, real cream cheese, and pure cane sugar.

I am currently working on expanding my recipes to include Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, and Diabetic-friendly options in the future!

Have a specific allergy concern? Send me a message! I understand the "food minefield" better than anyone, and I am happy to chat about how I can make your next celebration safe and delicious.

Why yes I have put a 4" cheesecake in my pocket for snack time. Pocket cheesecake is the way to go. In a wrapper of course. I've seen them kept in purses as well.

Pocket Cheesecakes only at Kendrick's. 🤤🤣

This week I had the honor of making this for an anniversary. They requested "Strawberry crunch or shortcake or just some sort of delicious strawberry or strawberry banana". I went with a shortcake crust, a layer of strawberries, cheesecake, crumble topping for the crunch and some strawberry sauce made in house.

I think it looks delicious. I hope it held up to anniversary standards. It was certainly interesting putting it together.

If you have a special day coming up, reach out and we can get something made that fits your special occasion.

I had the pleasure of making some lemon and vanilla bean cheesecake minis for a customer. I went with making the crust as the cups. I, of course, tried a few and they are certainly fun to eat.

What do you think of these cheesecake minis?

Proud of myself moment:

My sister and I have quite similar food allergies and reactions. She mentioned she had attempted a few gluten free, cassava recipes and they didn't turn out the way she planned. So when she asked me to make her a recipe for cassava pancakes, and provided the flour, I was eager to get on the task. Cassava is tricky as it absorbs water differently than wheat flour and can become gummy when over mixed.

I wish I had gotten video of the previous results. This is batch 5. It was well worth it though. Gives me some ideas for some gluten free, cassava cheesecake crust, or a bread! Cassava bread?!
