| - UPDATE: 7/3/17 Just bought 3 Restaurant Sized Awelicious loaves of bread and the first one I start has a gaping hole that spans 4-5 slices of the bread (pic below). What am I supposed to do with this?! I pay around $11 a loaf for this!! Please, work on the texture. It did NOT used to be this bad!!!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
3 years ago, I was diagnosed with a severe wheat allergy and eating gluten-free is the easiest way to avoid wheat. Gluten Free Creations gave me a big piece of my life back. The Awelicious bread and rolls allow me to live what feels like a normal food life at home. Nothing takes the place of 'real' bread, but GFC came close enough that I was in tears the first time I tried both the bread and roll. I have been a faithful customer for the last 2.5 years and I probably spend $50 a month there at least. Bread, rolls, cake, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, pecan pies, stuffing mix, gravy mix, pie crust mix - I buy it all. And up until several months ago, I sang their praises to everyone who would listen. I LOVE this place.
BUT...and it pains me to say this...something has been going on there recently. Their quality control has been pretty awful. There was always the chance of getting a big hole in the middle of a loaf of bread -- but it was occasional. Now every loaf I've bought in the last 3-4 months is full of big holes (will try to upload pics). It makes spreading anything on toast or even making a grilled cheese sandwich awful -- jelly, butter, melted cheese leaking out of the holes all over the place, etc.
This last visit, there was one bag of Awelicious rolls I was willing to buy and they were unusually flat, but the rest were about 3/4 in high -- they looked like pucks, not rolls. They literally took up HALF of the package they used to almost fill. I couldn't bring myself to pay for that -- even through I drove 30 min to get to the store. Both loaves of Awelicious Restaurant-sized bread were weirdly flat -- one so flat and small that I couldn't bring myself to pay for it, either. I bought the slightly taller restaurant-sized loaf and a 'regular'-sized loaf instead. That's the restaurant-sized loaf I bought shown in the pictures -- NOT restaurant sized by any stretch of the imagination. And full of holes. Understand, I've been buying this stuff for years -- I KNOW this product. They also changed the roll packaging a bit ago to this much thinner plastic and the rolls get freezer-burned much faster now. Sigh. Why?
None of what they make here is cheap -- but I have been more than willing to happily pay because the product is (was?) good and it makes a huge difference in quality of life for me. But I feel lately like I'm not getting their best. I just want the old Gluten Free Creations back.
