About

I have been baking since I was old enough to eat the chocolate chip cookie dough batter in my grandma’s kitchen! Cooking & baking have always been a love language in my family. I have the best memories working in the kitchen with my grandmas, my aunties, and my parents, crafting a family recipe (or a new one). I love to share my creations with others, and always dreamt of someday having my own bakery.

 

When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a few years ago, it really hit me hard. I took a break from baking because I thought, how can I share these (non-gluten free) baked goods with people if I can’t even be sure if they’re good anymore? I had to completely relearn how to bake the things I loved as gluten free, which is not as easy as you might think.

 

 

I redirected my baking to make 100% gluten & dairy free baked goods so others with this disease- or dietary restrictions- know they have something they can always count on that’s safe for them to eat. All of my ingredients are stored separately to ensure there is no cross contamination. Most of my items are also no sugar added or low sugar, making them a fantastic option for individuals who are diabetic or just watching their sugar intake.

 

You may be wondering why my business is named “Taylor & Co.”. I chose this name out of love and recognition of my friends & family members that have supported me, advocated for me, and searched everywhere for new gluten free foods with me over the last few years. The ones who asked all the hard questions to learn more, the ones who changed recipes and restaurant locations to gluten free options without me even having to ask. They are the “Co.” in Taylor & Co. and their love and kindness amazes me daily. It truly does take a village.
