Hi! I’m Blair, and welcome to Baked by Blair, a gluten-free home bakery built from both necessity and love.

For most of my life, eating felt stressful, uncomfortable, and overwhelming. I struggled with stomach issues for years, and when I finally tried going gluten-free, I felt a million times better. But getting there wasn’t easy. Switching to unfamiliar foods with different textures, flavors, and ingredient lists was a sensory nightmare, and I constantly felt intimidated and discouraged.

For a long time, eating became something I did just to stay alive. I avoided food, stuck to the smallest list of “safe” items, and lost all the joy that comes with sharing a dessert or enjoying something special with people you love.

Things slowly changed when I started learning how to recreate gluten-free versions of the foods I missed the most, especially baked goods. Reclaiming those treats felt like reclaiming joy. It reminded me how meaningful it is to have a seat at the table where you don’t feel singled out, limited, or “different” because of what you can or can’t eat.

That’s why I started Baked by Blair. It isn’t a gluten-free bakery, it’s a bakery that just so happens that everything is gluten-free. Whether you eat this way out of necessity or preference (or not at all!), I want you to feel welcome, seen, and excited to try something that tastes as good as it looks. Everyone deserves dessert.

Thank you for being here—and for letting me share food that finally feels joyful again. I’m so glad you’re at the table with me.
