Quote
Katie Riehm says the name of her new Riverside area business, Sweet Revolution Baking Co., is a spin on her plan to take the craft to the next step of producing sweet treats with all-natural, allergy-free ingredients.
That means doughnuts, cupcakes, cookie sandwiches, muffins and breakfast items free of egg, dairy, soy and peanut ingredients. Many of the products also will be gluten-free.
Riehm calls her venture, which she will open at 1243 King St., “an alternative bakery.”
“It’s a whole new era of baked goods,” said Riehm, a 27-year-old Jacksonville native.
