Our story

Grandma Ethel's recipes, baked gluten free

Ethel’s Baking Company is a gluten-free dessert brand rooted in founder Jill Bommarito’s family baking traditions and inspired by her grandmother Ethel. The business grew out of a long family struggle with celiac disease and a determination to make gluten-free desserts with simple, pure ingredients that still felt joyful and homemade. The Pecan Dandy bar is presented as the dessert that launched the business and remains central to the brand story.
