While in Calgary visiting a friend, we happened upon this 100% dedicated gluten free bakery by chance this afternoon. While heading into town to hunt down some GF poutine at Big Cheese, we literally parked directly across from Big Star Bakehouse and their 100% dedicated Gluten Free Bakery sign immediately caught our eye.
We headed on in and it was a mecca of gluten free goodness. I over bought, as usual, but their goods were, well...too good to be missed out on. Their lemon loaf was phenomenal, the vanilla cupcake with lemon curd filling and strawberry butter cream frosting is a must have. I could not have created a more perfect treat for my taste buds. I also sampled the baguette, yes you read that correctly, GLUTEN FREE BAGUETTE which is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Waiting to be tried is the cheese bun and Italian loaf bun, but each looks and feels equally as yummy as the baguette. I'm saving those for dinner.
If you're in Calgary this is a must stop if you are gluten free. If you're not gluten free, you'll be just as impressed with their goods.
Well done Big Star Bake House!
