First the bad news: Nothing Bundt Cakes makes beautiful (mostly) gluten filled cakes.
The (maybe) good news is that “gluten-free flavor is available at select bakeries”.
This bakery makes only bundt cakes in a variety of sizes. There were a number of flavors on display, one of which was gluten free chocolate chip.
The counter clerk shared a binder with cake ingredients and assured me that separate pans and utensils are used in preparation.
The “Bundtlet” was a large muffin size, moist and dotted with mini chocolate chips. It was topped with their signature cream cheese frosting. A truly decadent treat.
Two sizes are available gluten free. The “Bundlet” was $5 (50 cents more than the gluten filled options) and 8 inch for $25 ($3 more). The clerk said that cakes are available with 20 minutes notice.
I visited the South Euclid store located on the North side of Cedar Center – 13949 Cedar Rd, South Euclid, OH 44118.
Other nearby stores are in Avon (35925 Detroit Rd, Avon, OH 44011) and Canton (4468 Belden Village St NW, Canton, OH 44718). They may have the gluten free cakes.

I bought Chocolate Donuts and Apple Cake from the Sweet Crumb Pastries stand at Wildroots Market at Legacy Village. Everything is gluten free and it is hard to decide what to get.
The donuts were made with avocado and sweet potato and topped with edible flowers. They were moist and tasty.
The apple cake was dense with a typical gluten free crumb.
Prices were as to be expected for gluten free baked goods.

This is a great market, deli, and bakery.
They serve wonderful GF wraps, sandwiches, and baked goods, with a full GF kitchen.
My #1 stop on the way to Toronto! I
n fact I usually call a couple of days ahead to have my favorite muffins ready for pick up.
Kathy’s Creations (Alliance, OH) is now taking gluten-free pumpkin pie orders. I purchased one of her fruit pies recently and it tasted precisely like the wheat flour crusts I remembered savoring many years ago (flaky & delicious!) This gem of a bakery is a little drive from CLE/AKR – but worth the trip! Being able to purchase any item in the entire bakery (which is exclusively gluten-free) was certainly a treat. In addition to enjoying the variety, texture, and taste of the items purchased, prices were extremely reasonable.
Kathy’s carries a wide variety of gluten-free items, including pies, assorted muffin flavors, pizza crusts, various breads & cookies, biscotti, cakes, & cupcakes. I am told her pumpkin pies are delectable but that one must order EARLY. Order your GF pumpkin pie(s) today! (330) 821-8183
