Waukee Business Spotlight: Bakery Makes Gluten Free Taste Good

What started out as a lifestyle change for health reasons turned into a specialized business.

When Michelle Holtz's husband developed a food allergy to gluten and dairy, she thought her days of baking were gone. Instead, she made it her mission to turn recipes that wound up as mediocre treats into delicious treats.

Fast forward to the present, and Holtz is the owner of Sweet Rewards Gluten Free Bakery, which offers a range of tested recipes that are 100 percent gluten and dairy free, she said.

"With the support of my family and friends, I decided to open a bakery that caters to anyone who loves traditional bakery items," Holtz said. "It’s just a bonus that they are gluten free and dairy free."

Sweet Rewards is coming up on its one-year anniversary in May.

The business is a licensed, home-based bakery in Waukee that serves the Des Moines metro and surrounding areas, she said. All the goods are made from scratch, she said.

"With a variety of options to choose from, we’re sure you’ll find something to satisfy your sweet tooth," she said.

They offer a variety of products including cupcakes, mini-cupcakes, cookies, muffins, bars, and cookie cakes. Some of the favorites are red velvet cupcakes, chocolate chip peanut butter cupcakes, pumpkin bars, cherry bars and decorated cookie cakes, she said.

Sweet Rewards is on the web and Facebook, is at the Waukee Farmers Market on Wednesdays.
