“Cameo’s products are hands-down the best gluten-free baked goods I have ever tasted. It is an absolute pleasure to let you know we really do have Cameo’s personal legacy, which comprises Crave’s ever popular gluten-free recipes, at OUR finger tips here in this very book!”

Tina Turbin, Author, Blogger and Gluten Free Advocate


“Considering how many people with gluten issues also have dairy issues, it has always surprised me that most gluten-free baked goods contain a lot of dairy. Crave Bakery was one of the first gluten-free bakeries to offer dairy-free baked goods that tasted like they were full of butter!”

Kelly Courson, Creator and Writer at Celiac Chicks


“With this cookbook, Cameo has done us a tremendous service. She's taken a decade's worth of trial and error with gluten-free baking and presented us with incredible, easy to follow, 'crave-worthy' desserts.”

Dr. Vikki Petersen, DC, CCN, Founder of  HealthNOW Medical Center


“Cameo is amazing for putting so much goodness into one place! So many bakeries guard their “secret” ingredients, but she has made every amazing recipe from Crave Bakery accessible in this deliciously tempting book. I knew this cookbook would be love at first bite when it started with the legendary Mama Z’s Chocolate Cake.”

Alisa Fleming, Founder and Chief Editor at Go Dairy Free


Welcome to Crave Bakery's 10th Anniversary Gluten Free Cookbook. The explosion of gluten-free and allergy-free foods is exciting and crucial for Celiacs, those with gluten sensitivity, autistic children who benefit from a GFCF diet and many others with food allergies. But it wasn’t always this way.  In 2002, Cameo Edwards was living in San Francisco and discovered she was gluten sensitive after two years of stomach pain and misleading diagnoses. Going gluten-free was a life changing experience for Cameo. There were no high quality GF foods on the market at that time, even in a progressive part of the world like the Bay Area. Determined to eat the foods she loved once again, she began baking and selling her gluten-free, dairy-free desserts in 2003. Crave seemed like the perfect name for this bakery since her frustrations came from food Cravings in which she could no longer safely indulge. These all-natural, allergy friendly desserts Cameo created finally satisfied her cravings and made her and her customers happy!
