Steph, pastry chef at Brimly

Hi there! I'm Steph,

and I'm so glad you're here. I'm the pastry chef at Brimly, which mostly means I bake the same cake again and again until it's just right, then eat the evidence. Everything I make is gluten free, soy free and gum free, and I write about all of it every week in Bake Club. Come hang out. There's usually cake.

Shut the Oven Door

We talk gluten-free baking, the cakes that worked, the breads that very much did not, and whatever else comes up.

Our grocery cart, every item checked with the Fig app

This Week at Room Temperature

I Haven’t Read a Label in a Store in Three Years

Every Friday I write about what actually happens in our gluten-free kitchen. This week, it’s the app that ended years of shopping scared. I used to stand in the aisle reading every label, trying to guess what would make me sick. Now Fig checks everything before it goes in our cart, gums included, in about four seconds.

There's usually cake.

And if there isn't, give it until Sunday. New recipes and stories every week.
