New gluten free bakery in Denver - The Flying Whisk
May 10, 2008 by glutenfreesteve
This morning, the Artist and I decided to brave the wind and chilly temps and walk down to the Farmer’s Market. It’s about a two mile walk from our house, and I went full well knowing that there wouldn’t be that many fruits/veggies this time of year, and probably little for me to eat. Most of the booths there are all specialty food booths - pastas and pastries. LOTS of them. Might as well call it the Gluten Market. Seriously.
But there we were looking at something (local honey, it might have been) when we saw the flag whipping in the sky - “GLUTEN FREE”.
I was at that booth before you could even say the words “GLUTEN FREE”. There before my eyes were samples and rows and rows of beautiful, perfect looking cookies. My heart sank.
“They’ll have maybe one variety that’s gf”, I thought to myself. So I asked the woman behind the booth, “Which are gluten free?”.
“All of them.”
Holy moly - I couldn’t believe it. I sampled everyone, and they were all just great. I bought two “zebra” cookies which are like chocolate crackle cookies.
The bakery’s name is The Flying Whisk and while they do not have a retail store front yet, they do sell the general public, and everything, yes everything, is gluten free.
For those of you here in the Denver area, I urge you to check them out, and give them some business.
I need to sample their cakes, and icing. That’s where the true test is. They didn’t have any cakes/cupcakes today. Maybe I’ll email them and ask them to bring some for next weekend….hmm, not a bad idea.

I loved my ‘gluten-free tour’ of Denver last year. I’m so excited that there are even more options now! (though I put on a couple pounds just in a few days there so it’s probably better I don’t have such easy access
)

How exciting for you! I am very envious.
How delightful it is when you come across GF products unexpectedly like that! And, wonderful, tasty ones! What a treat!!!
Steve,
Thank you so much for your compliments on our baked goods!
It was a pleasure meeting you and we are infact going to have baked goods at the meeting that you spoke of in the email you sent us. We will not be there but we will have a table of goodies.
For those who are wondering how we got involved with glutenfree- my daughter was diagnosed at 3 years old and that was 7 years ago. Kim and I have made it our mission to bake gluten free so that anyone can not tell the difference- baked goods that many of us take for granted.
Hope to see you again and many others who miss the sweet things in life.
Visit us at the Cherry Creek Farmers Market. we are there from 730am to 100pm every saturday until October.
Take care!
Jennifer and Kim
