About me!  

While baking has always been a life long passion of mine, I don't have any prior work or formal education in baking or culinary arts.  I spent the first 15 years out of college in the Non-Profit Sector, working with foster care youth, homeless youth, the LGBTQ+ community, trafficked victims and victims of online exploitation.  I hold a Master's Degree in Urban studies from UNO and still have a huge heart for this line of work.

Nevertheless, life had other plans for me during the peak of Covid-19. On top of navigating Celiac Disease for the past 9 years, my son was diagnosed with CHD and we underwent our first open heart surgery in the summer of 2020.  I channeled all of the anxieties and negative energies into my baking and pawned off all my experiments to neighbors and friends. Many were shocked that I could make GF items taste so similar to the “real” thing and I had an amazing group of friends and family members that encouraged me to take the small business leap.  I've always had a passion for serving the community, particularly with under-served populations, so it all made sense in the craziest of ways.

I've always had a creative side, and I love designing and experimenting in the kitchen.  In the past two years, I went from having 5 menu options to more than 25, and taught myself how to decorate cookies and cakes with hundreds of hours spent on youtube.  

Never in a million years did I think we would be where we are today, fulfilling orders for people all throughout the Omaha area, catering WEDDINGS, and huge events, and having a reach that has spanned the wider state of Nebraska and beyond.  

Sometimes I think the best things happen when you least expect them to and sometimes the scariest things are worth taking a risk on.  I'm so very grateful for the support of this incredible GF community.  For welcoming this tiny bakery with open arms, for continuing to place orders and trusting me with your food and allowing me to fill the gap for safe GF sweets and treats.      

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!!!

What’s in a name?  

Perhaps a bit misunderstood, the Queen Bee is not at all the “ruler” of the hive, but the mother.  The majority of her life is spent in the hive, so she does not have the opportunity to visit the flower or experience the sweet taste of honey.  

With a primary diet of royal jelly (a substance secreted by the worker bees) … I think the celiac community can most certainly relate to these fascinating creatures!

We meticulously plan our days while those around us do not have to think twice about their food options and sources that surround them.

The Queen Bee’s journey is hard, but the processes and roles of these tiny creatures never cease to amaze me.  

They’re strong and fierce, because they have to be.  

Welcome to Queen GFB
