      My word we have come a long way when i think back 20yrs (UK&Holland) and the gf bread was some greyish sick ''putty'' matter- All the VERY BEST with yr project- it sounds fabulous. Probably tastes out of this world!

      I wanted to bake GF decorated cakes to sell five years ago but never felt I had the time, education or stamina to do it right. When I was first diagnosed there wasn't much available that tasted any good! Thankfully, I love to cook. Thanks to go-getters like you two, it's getting easier to be on this diet. I wish you great success with your venture.

      Dessert Labs has the best goodies ever! Trust me, I have been a guinea pig for Karen and Joe over the last several months, and my mind, body, and spirit could not be happier =) Joe is so meticulous and artistic with his desserts, and they are infused with so much love!

      I just heard about you from Craftevolution's blog. I LOVE the idea of a gourmet dessert truck. I don't live in Oakland but do live close enough that we could come out for some fancy desert sometime. And...all of that plus it's gluten-free? Fantastic! We don't eat gluten-free but I know enough people that do to know that a gluten-free bakery would be a fabulous business to have.

My name is Karen Goetsch. I'm a woman of many hats. I love playful, honest marketing that includes stories and adventure. I value integrity and handmade items. I love to eat and discover.

My life and business partner, Joe Kalal, is a pastry chef with Celiac. He's been gluten-free for three years and makes amazing gluten-free everything. It wasn't until after going gluten-free and pain-free, but underwhelmed by the food choices, that he went back to school to become a pastry chef.

And so with my business experience, his culinary experience, and our love of all things delicious, natural, local, and handmade that we're starting our own business, Dessert Labs.
