GreenStar's Bakery Expands Wheat-Free Offerings
By Kristie Snyder,

You know a diet is popular when a Google search returns over 12 million results, as it does for "gluten free diet." Compare that with "vegan diet," which turns up a paltry 2.6 million. It's clear that people are increasingly avoiding wheat products and gluten, the stretchy protein found in wheat and many of its relatives. Many who avoid gluten have been diagnosed with celiac disease, in which gluten consumption can cause intestinal inflammation and damage the lining of the intestines. Others experience wheat allergies or intolerances, which can lead to a host of symptoms.
Ten years ago, finding gluten- or wheat-free baked goods could be a real challenge, and finding ones that tasted good proved even more difficult. But a trip to GreenStar's bakery case today yields over two dozen delicious wheat- or gluten-free options.

Jillian Brazel,
Treat yourself (and your honey, if someone's lucky) to some of our amazing Valentine's Day goodies. Remember our strawberry-champagne cupcakes? They're back in two varieties, both starting with our moist strawberry-champagne cake base. One is filled with chocolate ganache and topped with strawberry-infused whipped cream; the other is filled with strawberry pastry cream and topped with chocolate frosting. They each get a robust chocolate-dipped strawberry on top. Does that sound decadent enough?
We've got the vegan Valentines covered too. Our vegan chocolate cakes will be available in heart shapes with a raspberry twist, and our vegan sugar cookies get sassy with a conversation heart theme. As always, we're happy to take your special orders (607.273.5069) to make any occasion deliciously memorable.
