Satisfy your Sweet Tooth with Shabtai Gourmet Gluten Casein Free Treats

Have you heard about Shabtai Gourmet?

I only recently learned about this bakery line specializing in Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, Casein Free & Dairy Free treats (cakes & cookies)

Yes, those cookies you see pictured that are enveloped in chocolate chips - they are Gluten & Casein free!

Alex recently was treated to a big box full of treats from Shabtai Gourmet. In the box was:
  • Lady Fingers
  • Ring Ting Cupcakes
  • Brownie Bites
  • Raspberry Roll
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Florentine Lace Cookies
  • Rainbow Cookies
I immediately recognized the cakes, I'd seen them before in the stores around Passover time. Shabtai Gourmet treats are certified Kosher/Kosher for Passover. I'd seen them in Wegmans but only seasonally. Turns out that year round they are also carried at my local health food store - but the price is marked up. Good in a pinch but when I can order from the Shabtai Gourmet website and have my cakes shipped free. When I checked out the website I was surprised by how affordable and inexpensive the treats are - everything is under $10.. in the $6-9 range. Are you kidding me? No, this is not too good to be true. I am so used to spending so much extra for gluten free, I cannot stress how thrilled I am that these treats are super affordable.

Think boxed treats that are a little bit like Entenmann's or Tasty Kakes/Hostess - somewhere along those lines. The Ring Ting Cupcakes were totally decadent and "junk food" like - meant in the best way, of course. The chocolate chip cookies were gone in a day - you would have no idea these are "free" of anything - they got devoured. I sent the brownie bites into school for my son's Valentine's class party - another hit. My husband and I both enjoyed the Raspberry Roll - ironically I saw the same (non gluten free, soy free, etc) cake in my local Shop Rite bakery in their gourmet offerings and it was $14.99 vs Shabtai Gourmet's $6.99! Out of all the treats that we tried from our big giftbox the only ones that my kids didn't care for were the Vienna Lace cookies that I found went down better when paired with a coffee (but, what doesn't?).

2 things that I plan on ordering from them very soon: The Swiss Cake Roll and Devils Food 7 Layer Cake- they are both calling my name. I'm thinking they'd be awesome to pop in the freezer to pull out when needed.

Shabtai Gourmet Bakes Cakes & Cookies that are gluten Free, Casein Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Corn Free, Certified Kosher Parve and kosher for Passover. They offer free shipping on all orders no matter how large or small.

Our local health food store carries the cookies. And they are GOOD. I'd try the cake - definitely!

Will Kosher = GF, CF all the time? Some people think Kosher always means GF CF free.
