I'm the baker behind The Sparrow's Crumb, a small cottage bakery created from my own experience of learning just how difficult it can be to find a really good treat when certain ingredients aren't an option.
I began changing the way I baked because I needed treats made without gluten and dairy ingredients. Along the way, I started paying more attention to what went into the desserts I was making, choosing plant-based ingredients, natural colors, and select organic ingredients whenever possible.
But eventually, it became about more than what I could eat.
I saw how often people with different dietary needs were left with very few choices, especially when everyone else was enjoying cake at a birthday, celebration, or gathering. I wanted to create desserts that people would choose because they were genuinely delicious, not simply because they were the only option available.
That's how The Sparrow's Crumb began.
Today I create everything from celebration and custom cakes to cupcakes, seasonal flavors, small-batch treats, and The Sparrow's Market. I love familiar flavors, but I also love experimenting with unexpected combinations and creating something a little different.
I also offer select refined sugar-free and sugar-free options, because I want to continue making room at the table for people whose needs may look different.
The name is inspired by Luke 12:6, which reminds us that not even one sparrow is forgotten by God.
That verse reflects something very close to my heart and to the purpose behind this bakery: people matter.
Sometimes something as simple as having a dessert you can enjoy alongside everyone else can make you feel remembered.
And that's what I hope people experience when they receive something from my kitchen: something thoughtfully made, something worth sharing, and hopefully...
