“I bake the way I love — generously, and from the heart.”
— Shaylynn Cook, Owner & Baker
Hi, I’m Shaylynn — and here’s why this kitchen exists.
I grew up with severe food allergies. If you did too, you know the feeling — the birthday cake you couldn’t have, the cookie tray you waved past, the “oh, sorry, I didn’t think about that” at every party. Being left out of the sweet part of a celebration is a small hurt that happens over and over, and it quietly teaches you that the treat table isn’t really for you.
Hearth is what I built instead. This fall, we went all the way: our kitchen is now 100% gluten-free. No wheat comes through the door, so there’s no “gluten-free option” to ask for — everything is. It’s always peanut- and tree-nut-free, too, with dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan bakes made with the same generosity as everything else. Ingredients I’ve read every label on, and an honest answer, every time, when you ask what’s in something.
Because I believe food made by hand brings people closer together — and that only works if everyone gets to sit down. Every order is baked from scratch in small batches, packaged to feel like a gift, and made to make someone feel truly thought of. That’s the whole idea: a place at the table for everyone.

🤍 Our kitchen promise
A 100% gluten-free, celiac-friendly kitchen. No wheat — or anything else containing gluten — comes through our door. Every recipe is built on a gluten-free flour blend, so the whole menu is yours, no asterisks.
Always peanut-free and tree-nut-free. Coconut is the one exception, and it’s clearly labeled whenever it’s used. Our kitchen does handle milk, eggs, and soy, so our dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan bakes are their own recipes, made first, on freshly washed tools.
Managing celiac disease or a severe allergy? Ask us anything before you order — we’d rather talk it through than promise more than we can keep.
