Gluten-Free Fun

I was very excited to learn yesterday that Tate's Bake Shop is expanding and getting certified gluten-free by the CSA. If you haven't had Tate's Bake Shop Gluten-Free Cookies yet, you are missing out. These things are GOOOOOOD. I brought one package to the last party I went to so I would have dessert while everyone else was eating cake. You know what? These cookies were gone faster than the cake! Everyone loved them and no one realized they were gluten-free.

I know many people will not eat products unless they are made in a dedicated facility so they might not have tried Tate's in the past. In June, Tate's Bake Shop is expanding their bakery to include a CSA-certified baking facility which includes a new 3,000 square foot addition dedicated solely to gluten-free products! This summer, you will finally get a chance to eat the delicious gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that us bloggers rave about!

Read on for more information about Tate's gluten-free expansion and certification in their press release.

TATE’S BAKE SHOP EXPANDS GLUTEN-FREE FACILITY

BAKERY ADDS TWO NEW GLUTEN-FREE COOKIES

NEW YORK, NY– In response to a growing fan base that follow a gluten-free diet, Tate’s Bake Shop is excited to announce the addition of two new gluten-free cookies, available nationwide June 1, 2013. The growth of Tate’s Bake Shop’s gluten-free product line is made possible by the expansion of their CSA-certified baking facility to include a new 3,000 square foot addition dedicated solely to the production of gluten-free goods.

“I noticed more and more customers were coming in to the bake shop looking for gluten-free options so I felt the need to expand our offerings nationwide," said Kathleen King, owner and founder of Tate’s Bake Shop. “I wanted to be sure to create treats that could be enjoyed by all, and I think I’ve accomplished that with these recipes; my friends can’t even tell they are gluten-free.”

Available nationwide beginning June 1, Tate’s will introduce two new gluten-free goods to the market: the gluten-free Ginger Zinger cookie and the gluten-free Double Chocolate Chip cookie (suggested retail: $4.99/package). These products are in addition to the gluten-free Chocolate Chip, Tate’s second best selling
cookie. The Ginger Zinger is a thin, crisp butter cookie with chunks of crystallized ginger in every bite. The Double Chocolate Chip is a crisp chocolate cookie with dark chocolate chips. Tate’s Bake Shop is proud to only use the highest quality all-natural ingredients. The new gluten-free cookies are made with rice flour in place of wheat flour.

The new gluten-free facility, open for production this June, will house gluten-free dedicated equipment lines that will increase Tate’s Bake Shop’s gluten-free product output by 100%. Tate’s Bake Shop currently offers two gluten-free products nationwide: a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie and a decadent gluten-free brownie.
