Tamika Grant, the owner of Delightful Me Specialty Sweets and Bakery Services, said her goal is to provide anyone with a sweet tooth a dessert he or she can enjoy, regardless of his or her allergies or dietary restrictions.

Grant said when she changed her diet several years ago, dessert options for alternative diets were very limited, so she began developing recipes to mimic the family favorites she enjoyed growing up.

“I really like cake,” she said. “I [wanted] a real layer cake with all the frosting, [and] I couldn’t find that.”

The menu at Delightful Me includes baked goods for people who follow gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and paleo diets as well as for people without any dietary restrictions.

“My goal is to make sure that no matter what your [dietary] restrictions [are], you can still have something really good,” Grant said.

Popular items include cookies, cupcakes, brownies, pound cakes and breakfast treats in various combinations of allergy-friendly recipes. Customers can see what menu items are readily available for pickup by visiting the shop’s website or Facebook page.

“Everything we [make] is from scratch and all-natural. Even the traditional [items] have more natural sweeteners and a lot of organic ingredients,” said Grant, who also said she does not use artificial sweeteners, additives or preservatives in any of her recipes.

Nicky Boyce is a frequent customer and said although she is not restricted to gluten-free foods, one of her favorite items at the bakery is a gluten-free cranberry-and-bran muffin.

“I’ve bought lots of food over there,” Boyce said. “Everything is ... fantastic.”
