Established in 2011.
When Jennifer found out she could no longer eat wheat she searched for the perfect gluten free cookbook. For a while it was good enough because she could still have brownies and cookies. But the texture just wasn’t the same and she missed the soft textures in cakes and cookies that she used to enjoy. So she made a personal challenge for herself to master the texture, taste and mouth feel of the Chocolate Chip Cookie. When she accomplished that, she went on to Cake. Eight years she tested and tried all sorts of recipes and eventually came up with her own original recipes, skipping the traditional methods other gluten free cookbooks followed. Never did she dream or entertain the idea of starting a bakery. When her husband lost his job in the economy downturn, she looked to what she had in her hands to do. She asked herself what skills did she have that could produce an income? Gluten free baking was the answer and Measures of Joy was born.
