full of tradition, they range from the homemade, rustic fruit- and nut-filled tarts to the more sumptuous pastries and recipes for special occasions and feast days. Dolci di Maria’s™ elegant cakes preserve these traditions while using all natural, organic ingredients that are safe for those with wheat, gluten, casein or dairy allergies or sensitivities, and those with celiac disease. Our cakes are perfect for children with food allergies, and are "school safe" for birthday and holiday celebrations.

Our wholesome ingredients include organic brown rice flour; fresh lemons, bananas and coconut; rich, pure chocolates; spices such as ginger, cinnamon and cloves—a bounty of nature's goodness. We have tasted and tested these recipes until just the right balance of flavors, moistness and complexity of textures is achieved. Dolci di Maria™ desserts will indulge your senses!

Dolci di Maria™ cakes are perfect for an everyday treat or for serving to special guests. To enjoy in the Italian style, remember that dessert should be savored. A little goes a long way towards satisfying that urge for something sweet and delicious, especially after a healthy meal.

Dolci di Maria’s (Dol-chee- dee- Maria’s) cakes are:

* Gluten-Free – contain only gluten-free flours, gluten-free vanilla, baking powder, coffee, and other ingredients.

* Only gluten-free flours are used in the kitchen, and on our bakeware and utensils, eliminating the chance of cross-contamination from “flour in the air” or contaminated equipment.

* Dairy Free / Casein Free – no butter, milk, or other products containing dairy are used.

* Our Vegan cakes do not contain eggs, but instead use more earth-friendly and plant-based substitutes, such as pureed fruit or Ener-G egg replacer.

* Baked with Love by a mother of a gluten-intolerant son, because there was nothing good out there!
