Through years of development and experimentation I have created a
multitude of gluten free recipes that don't taste like they are gluten
free, something that will dissolve the stigma surrounding the term.
Due to a realization that my products could help not only my own
family but yours as well I came to the decision to open a gluten free
bakery and café under the name of EmmAlly's. It became a dream of mine
to spread my products across the coast and I made a plan to open
another location after two years of steady business. But:Not every
dream works out the way you think it will, this was providing us with
an opportunity to change and adapt. We lasted a year and a half before
we became unable to pay rent on time due to location and dispute with
the landlord, and were locked out of our premises with little to no
notice and all of our property was seized. With no location I had no
way of baking our breads for deliveries the following week, leaving
twenty stores and hundreds of customers without the products they had
come to rely on to feed their families. We had the doors slammed in
our face in the moments before the rise in business we had been
waiting for, being in the final stages of adding two major store
chains to our line. We maintain hope of continuing with the knowledge
that our products help people and intend to begin rebuilding from the
ground up to bring our breads and products to your tables once more.
To begin with I was ready to walk away from it all as I just
don't have the funding to continue. When word began to spread of our
downfall the messages and e-mails began pouring in offering support
and in some cases, help. The many touching messages made me realize
that walking away from this without fighting for it would be both a
disservice to our customers and myself, along with the little family
that has formed around this dream.
