The Wooden Spoon - Homemade & Gluten Free

The Wooden Spoon - Homemade & Gluten Free CURRENTLY NOT TAKING ORDERS

Homemade Gluten Free Treats. I have always loved to cook. Why should being gluten free mean that we have to compromise on taste?

The Wooden Spoon aims to create gluten free treats using quality ingredients that never compromise on taste. A number of years ago I found out I was gluten intolerant so of course everything in my diet had to be adjusted. I noticed that cafes everywhere were always stocking the same gluten free products, without a doubt there was always Orange and Almond cake, and I thought to myself 'surely it ca

n be better then this'. Why should all the delicious, tantalising, mouth watering treats be off limits? I must say, things have got significantly better over the years, but in my opinion there still isn't a large variety, especially in Emerald and especially not home baked. So I decided to start experimenting. As I was baking quantities larger then what I could eat myself, I had to start giving it away and I realised that I wasn't the only one missing going out for a coffee and being able to have my cake as well (and eat it too). I love knowing that nothing has to be of limits and I want everybody else to feel the same as well. So I have created 'The Wooden Spoon'. I will be starting from scratch and going through all of my old favourites while finding new recipes to try. These will be available to try and buy. In the not too distant future I plan on going to the markets and then hopefully getting my goodies into a local coffee shop in town. I want you all to taste just how good gluten free can be and that you don't have to go to the big smoke to get it :)

Well my nearly three year old thought this cake was for him and was very upset to learn it wasn’t 😂 Apparently all cakes out of this kitchen are for him. I mean he’s not too far off, it is rare these days that I bake anything that’s not for him, or where he at least gets to share it. Needless to say we had to keep a very close eye on it and this photo isn’t the best as was quickly snapped as it went out the door at 6.30pm. He was still asking about it this morning and if there was any left for him 🤣 plus of course remembered the promise that we would cook him his own special cupcakes, so looks like we are baking again today.

As for the actual cake, it was another gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, health loaded cake for a beautiful birthday girl. It was accompanied by pots of organic berry and chai coulis and vanilla cashew cream. I’ve heard the leftovers were coming out for breakfast, which I’m fully on board with, it is full of some of the best breakfast foods after all 🤤

So……….it’s been awhile 🤗

Since announcing maternity leave in 2020, I have been pregnant again and gave birth to our second son in March this year (I also have a hubby that is away half the year). Needless to say there hasn’t been much cake making, and unfortunately if I’m not baking often it’s just not worth me buying/holding ingredients, decorations etc as it results in a lot of waste 💸. So sorry to those that have contacted me and I haven’t been able to take on your orders, I really appreciate the enquiries and your understanding ❤️

However, this week I made this beautifully simple but luxurious cake for a little family birthday celebration.

It’s been nearly 18 months since I last made this cake (well any celebration cake really), and I don’t know why I’ve waited so long. It is honestly probably my favourite chocolate cake. Everyone loves it. It’s delicious, moist and actually good for you. It even contains a fruit 🥑.

It’s gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, plus full of health benefits, antioxidants and heart-healthy essential fats.
We have a family member that’s a type 1 diabetic who’s also said it had very little impact on their blood sugar.
It’s a cake that aligns with the approach I take to food in my home, it was the cake I made for my sons first birthday, and it feels so good knowing I’m nourishing whoever is enjoying it 🥰

We served it with homemade mixed berry and chai coulis and vanilla cashew cream (which I wish I took a picture of cause they looked super cute in their terracotta pots). It would also look lovely simply decorated with some fresh berries or flowers, or even childrens figurines (I’m thinking trucks or dinos. Definitely a boy mum here).

So it got me thinking 🤔
For the time being I am going to make this cake available to anyone that may need/want a cake meeting these specs (obviously only if I’m in town and available). I’ve missed making cakes, especially for those that have trouble finding cakes elsewhere that they can eat, so hopefully I can make things easier for both me and you by offering this one.

If you’ve managed to make it this far, thank you x

*Note: This cake does contain nuts and eggs.

Different kitchen, different state, but made 100 of these gluten free sugar cookies for my brothers wedding a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately not the best photo as I took it at 1am after I finally finished packaging them up and slowing entering a sugar coma 😂
I am going to test some gluten free vegan ones soon.

ATTEMPT ONE
I did these quickly while bub napped so they are a little rough and the cooking time needs tweaking a tiny bit but overall I think they might be a winner.
I have never actually eaten a sugar cookie before so as well as sending some out to taste testers, I ate numerous cookies, over numerous days, in the name of research😂 Needless to say it might be a couple of weeks before I try them again.

So this cake is a little different.
For starters that glossy ganache is in fact avocado frosting 🥑 (emoji to confirm that’s not a typo 😂).
It was for my sons first birthday, is the healthiest cake I’ve ever made and probably the most delicious, which is a big call for me.
It is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, soy free, refined sugar free, flourless, and full of antioxidants and healthy fats. Possibly even paleo. I definitely had more then one piece 🤫 it would have been bad for my health not to 😉

CHRISTMAS OFFER

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas🎄These gluten free and vegan cupcakes are helping spread some Christmas cheer.

I had a fair bit of interest in the spare box yesterday so was thinking, if there’s enough interest, maybe I could make another batch next week for collection Wednesday. Boxes of 6 - $40 (normally $85 per dozen).

Let me know if you are interested as I will only be doing as a pre-order.

I love it when parents share photos with me. Austin was pretty excited his mum snatched up the spare Christmas cupcakes today. Could he be any cuter!

This is one of the main reasons The Wooden Spoon was initially started. Seeing the joy on children’s faces. Kids who usually can’t pick a treat at the bakery or have cake at their friend’s parties. When I used to do the Christmas in July markets in Capella, seeing their eyes light up when they were told they could pick whatever they wanted truly made my day.
