Mermaids Bakery

Eric has been doing his co-op (internship) at Mermaids Bakery for the past month and there are some good things coming out of it! He has been teaching the owner about gluten-free baking and he changed her original recipes into gluten-free ones! The own has been interesting in gluten-free for awhile now because so many people have came into her bakery asking if they did it and now she just launched her new website!

Here is the website and if you click on the "Introducing Mermaids Gluten-free cakes and cupcakes" it will take you to more information about it. And that was where we found a really nice sentence about Eric! I had to keep reading it until it sunk in because it is true!

"We brought in an award winning gluten-free pastry chef, and tested dozens of original recipes until the cakes were so good, and so moist, that it is comparable if not better than our original flour recipe!"

Eric brought home a piece of chocolate cake for me to try and I could not stop eating it. It was the best tasting cake he has ever made!

The owner and Eric are now working on making cake mixes to market and put into Whole Foods.....we will see what happens!


(Gluten-free is taking wheat out of the recipe and replacing it with other flours...any nut or bean can be a flour. Eric just had to find a balance of different flours that would react well with the other ingredients.)
