Gluten Free PhD

“Chemistry you crave”

Introduction:
We are a couple of research scientists-turned bakers, chasing the dream of perfecting dairy-free, gluten-free cheesecakes. Darrel is behind the Bunsen burner. We source top-shelf, organic ingredients and catalyze phase transformations for you to enjoy with the people who love you the most… the ones you buy cheesecake for. Background:
We have

been gluten (and mostly dairy) free since 2006 as a result of celiac (Dani) and wheat allergy (Darrel). Dani’s mom made a killer German Chocolate Cake for her birthday every year (from scratch, of course), until she transitioned to the other side in 2013. After that, Darrel tried to reproduce the cake, year upon year to no avail. One year, Dani requested a German Chocolate Cheesecake. Our journey was borne. Technical Specialties:
The early days of GF-DF were hard, but those days are long gone. Now we have access to a spectrum of products that allow us to sha’zamm up cheesecakes that you can’t even tell are GF-DF! We test every batch for quality control and operate in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Many of our cakes can also be made nut, coconut, corn, cashew, and rosemary free. Talk to us about your needs and we will work with you to create a cheesecake that works for you!

You know, because sometimes you feel like a nut… 🌰 🥥 🍫

Here we are giving our best shot at the customer requested Almond Joy Cheesecake!

I assume we aren’t able to actually call it an Almond Joy Cheesecake without gaining (paying for) rights from the company, so I ask our Gluten Free PhD fans, what should we name this decadent dessert?!

Dani thinks we should use a play on words and call it our, “Almond Disapproval.” Darrel and E-Babe just don’t think that is our best marketing, lol, what do YOU suggest?!

Our slices are ready for presale & pick-up either this evening or tomorrow (or throughout the week).

Details:
*Pick up in Santa Rita Ranch (South), Liberty Hill.
*$10/slice. Venmo, AppleCash or PayPal are acceptable forms of payment.
*Delivery within Santa Rita Ranch for an additional $3.

Almond Joy Cheesecake:
🥥Dark Chocolate Crust, Dark Chocolate Cheesecake, topped with a coconut butter layer, roasted crushed almonds and a dark chocolate drizzle.

**All gluten free, dairy free & soy free. Contains Soy Lecithin, coconut and Almonds.

Hello our sweet Gluten Free PhD fans!! We asked you what kind of chemistry you are craving, and well, the responses are still flowing!! We’ve decided we will just make all of them, or as many as possible before we get into our holiday baking mode in October.

We are also excited because this is Dani & E-Babe’s birthday week, in fact, today is their birthday. We’ve. Been. Busy. Our little one woke at 3:30am, whispering, “Momma? Papa? Play.“ So we have been playing hard!! Papa and babe also crashed hard for a nice long (much needed) nap.

Even though we’ve been busy with birthday festivities, we still took time to make a couple of cheesecakes. For this week, we have 3 folks who have the opportunity to receive their $5 slice.
………Drumroll, please……..
