About This Vendor

Creating Gluten Free Cakes/Pastries with a Passion

Dee's One Smart Cookie is a gluten free and allergen friendly bakery located in Glastonbury, CT. We specialize in creating gluten, dairy, soy, peanut, and tree nut free wedding cakes and other tasty treats. This gluten free/allergen friendly bakery produces delicious baked goods that are completely gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, and soy-free. Owner Diane Kittle and her team focus on creating mouth-watering cakes that can be enjoyed by everyone. Diane worked as a professional pastry chef and sugar expert until she discovered that she had celiac disease. This meant that she could no longer work with the ingredients that she had been using for so long. Diane decided to develop her own unique recipes that contained no traces of gluten or dairy. Before long, she had eliminated a range of other allergens from her recipes too. This way she could cater to a larger audience and could share her creations with the gluten/dairy/allergen free community. Diane and her team will arrange an in-depth consultation to get an idea of your unique requirements. From here, they can draw from your inspirations, personality, and wedding themes to craft your bespoke cake. To ease the stress of the day, Dee's One Smart Cookie is happy to deliver your baked masterpiece directly to your event.

5+++! My husband and I were blown away by the amazing desserts Dee’s One Smart Cookie provided us with for our wedding. We have many food allergies and sensitives in both of our families and Dee’s made it so that all our guests can enjoy desser...

t! We did a variety of mini desserts – mini cupcakes, cookies, whoopie pies, chipwiches, doughnuts – you name it and Dee’s did it! Many of our guests had NO CLUE that all of the desserts were gluten, nut, dairy, and soy free. They were all raving about them! From day one Dee’s provided us with excellent service, listened to all our needs, and even made last minute add ons/changes. Not to mention, this was all done during one of their busiest times – Easter weekend! All of the desserts were DEE-licious and we were blown away by the presentation. We cannot thank Dee, Jodi, and the rest of the Dee’s staff enough for making our wedding day even sweeter! We would recommend them to anyone – with or without allergies! THANK YOU!!!

My husband LOVES their cake! We ordered a single tier decorated cake to cut and for our diet restricted guests. I looked for other allergen-free bakeries closer to our venue (we drove this cake 1.5 hours) and were striking out. Everywhere else ...

had gluten-free options, but we were too nervous about cross contamination for our celiac guests. Not to mention, Dee's cakes are way better tasting. It was very reasonably priced and very prettily decorated (and no gross fondant). Truly, it was SO worth the slight transportation hassle for our GF, nut free, soy free, and vegan guests to have tasty dessert to eat (and definitely won us some brownie points ;)) I would love if they would have an option for cake tasting!

y far the best. We then had a girls’ night and tasted several mini cakes and decided to go with the carrot cake (which was what I wanted to start). I received so many compliments on the cake it was insane. No one could believe that it was dairy/gluten/soy/nut free, NO ONE! I even ordered some cake pops for favors for our guests with nut allergies. I am so happy that I found this bakery, not only for my wedding cake, but for everyday snacks. I drove an hour to make each of my payments just so I could get a few snacks with I was in the bakery. Even if you do not have allergies, their cakes are amazing.

Being a gluten-free bride is always a challenge. I am not living in the CT area, and planned my wedding from St. Louis, Missouri. I did all of my planning by phone and email, and came home only a few times to meet with vendors. I originally con...

tacted Dee's by email, and was provided all their information about gluten-free wedding cakes. We arranged for a meeting during one of my visits to CT to pick up some trial cakes. The day came, and our cakes were not ready. We were only in the area for two days, so we wouldn't have time to return the next weekend. They quickly put some items together for us to try, but never apologized for their mix-up. We liked what we tasted, and wanted to go ahead an order a cake. This is where we had trouble. I tried calling, and emailing more than once to try and get in touch with someone, and never heard back. I finally got a response from someone FOUR weeks later, and they told me that my SPAM folder was to blame. (This wasn't true - I found out later that the email issue was on their end). Long story short, the cake was delicious, but it was a very difficult vendor to work with. Unfortunately I didn't have many options for gluten-free wedding cakes in the area.
