I cannot recommend this place highly enough. By FAR the best gluten-free baked goods in the Triangle area -- and with the most loving baker.
*Storytime*
We sampled cakes from around the Triangle area. I am gluten intolerant, and I was GOING to EAT my own wedding cake, dagnabbit! Many of the cakes we sampled were good. But they often had one base flavor -- and frankly, many of them were dry.
That's the hazard of gluten-free baking, right? Wrong.
We hired Bestow Baked Goods immediately after eating their sample tray.
Every. One. Of their cakes. Was rich, decadent, soft, moist, and packed with flavor. They have multiple bases to choose from, their cream cheese frosting is to die for, and their frosting flavors are out of this world. Our wedding cake was a sweet potato base with cinnamon honey frosting. When I tell you I was hyping this cake up for months, I'm not kidding. And if you're a doubter, let me just say: when other doubters finally got to eat this cake at our wedding, they converted to singing Bestow's praises. The cake was outrageously good.
But that's the thing. It's not just about the cake. I mean, don't get me wrong -- it is. But what's so special about Bestow's baker, Heather, is how much heart she puts into her work. It's been a year now since our wedding, and we continue to feel as loved by our baker as we felt loved by our friends on our wedding day.
Each baked good we buy from Bestow -- and there have been many in the last year -- is a reminder. It's a reminder of how perfect our wedding day was. A reminder of how much had to happen to make our wedding possible. Of how generous of spirit Bestow Baked Goods and Heather are. And it's freaking delicious. Always.
Talk to any of our friends, family, or colleagues. We haven't stopped preaching the BBG gospel. And we never will.
