Finally, a local, culinary institute-trained chef who can custom-make GFCF cakes for birthdays or any other occasion! GFCF Mommies and Daddies in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach are in for a treat, thanks to
Chef Pamela Nicosia (shown here with her adorable son, Luca).
Pamela is the founder or
Sugar Temptations at Grainless Kitchen and she is partnering with local health food store
Nutrition S’mart to provide scrumptious, yummy, melt-in-your mouth cakes and desserts for those who suffer from food allergies, especially Celiac Disease. Nutrition S’mart in Pembroke Pines will regularly stock her creations in the freezer section. Soon, Nutrition S’mart will have a special “Fresh Friday” once a month, where customers will be able to purchase her just-baked items, fresh from her Grainless Kitchen.
Chef Pam will also be teaching a gluten-free cooking class at the Pembroke Pines Nutrition S’mart on the second Thursday of every month (
check store for details ).
I was excited to learn about Pamela at Nutrition S’mart’s recent “Gluten-Free Awareness” event. The Prince is having a birthday party soon, and I wondered if she might create a bakery-style cake, as well as cupcakes for the occasion. Many of the children invited to the party have serious allergies, and although I can make a decent GFCF cake, more complex food restrictions are beyond my capabilities. I needed a professional! To my delight, Pamela offered to create a 3-D cake in the image of Lightning McQueen, from the movie Cars. She uses all fresh ingredients (no artificial dyes or coloring) and she can customize the ingredients based on allergy needs. For example, our cake needed to be GFCF, peanut, and soy free. She can also create cakes that are egg-free too. Our party is not until later this month, but I’ll be sure to post photos here!
“I really would love everyone in the GF community to know that I am here and to help in any way I can, whether it be working with schools and providing treats on occasion, doing fund-raisers, or simply doing a cake,” says Chef Pam.
You can see some examples of Pamela’s artistic cakes on her website
here. In addition, if you are interested in ordering a custom cake, you can order it directly from Pamela (her website has order forms that you can email) or you can place your order at Nutrition S’mart by visiting the Pembroke Pines store. In addition, if you do not live in the local South Florida tri-county area, you can print a product request letter from her website to take to your local health food store if you would like them to order Sugar Temptations products for you.
“It gives me such joy to see how thankful my customers are, especially if it’s a child,” says Chef Pamela. I can attest to the fact that her cupcakes are really moist and delicious, and as Pam says, “you’ll never know the gluten is missing!”
