“Lauren was incredible. We couldn’t make up our minds, so we settled on five cakes and some lemon loaves. Turns out, our guests were as indecisive as we were!! They each tried nearly all of them, and loved them all too! They were beautiful, delicious, and perfect. Lauren drove them all the way out to us, and though the heat didn’t work so well for the cakes, she whipped them back into shape in the kitchen before they were put out. I couldn’t even figure out what had happened to them! They were magical, perfect, and my only complaint is that we ate them after dinner so I was too full to eat all that much of them! Lauren will be our first stop for any important cakes from now on!!”

“Every Thursday I head to the Snohomish Farmers Market to get a Gluten Free, Vegan cupcake before they sell out! The BEST cupcakes ever! I haven’t found a better tasting gluten free, vegan cupcake anywhere in the Puget Sound. Delicious!”

“I happened across Grain after recently moving to Snohomish while we were wandering the farmers market. A salted caramel buttercream brownie caught my eye. We also tried the carrot cake (not realizing both were gluten free, something I usually look at as a negative). I’m not kidding when I say I think of that brownie on a daily basis. As for the carrot cake, I always went to Bakery Nouveau for carrot cake as it’s my partner’s favorite. We both agreed this was even better. They were literally the best baked goods I’ve ever had. You are doing something incredibly special. Keep it up!”

“Amazing! You can taste the quality ingredients and the love. Lemon loaves, savory scones, morning brioche rolls and heirloom carrot cake are favorites, but the bombolinis are where it’s at; abundant pastry cream and perfect dough have ruined me for all future doughnuts. It’s worth every penny to support a cool and groovy baker who obviously puts their heart and soul into every bite.”

“We are always looking for vegan options because my daughters are allergic to dairy, egg, peanut, and tree nuts. It makes my mama heart so happy that I was able to buy a slice of cake at the Snohomish Farmers Market and treat my girls! Can’t wait to have more!”

“She offers delicious goodies that my whole family with various allergies can enjoy! She pays careful attention to her work and does a beautiful job with her baked goods. I also appreciate that she’s always gracious with questions since my crew has such special diet restrictions. One particular highlight along many is the unforgettable GF/V chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting she made last summer. The frosting was worth the splurge alone! Love this special baker and her amazing and scrumptious work!”

“I realized after purchasing a slice of vanilla cake here that I had never before tasted REAL cake. The richness, density and moistness of these creations is unbelievable and easily rivals fancy bakeries of Seattle or SF. My favorite thing is to pick up a variety of whatever creations are available on the one day every two weeks she comes to Snohomish and invite friends over for dinner so I can blow their minds! How she is able to turn traditional standards like chocolate brownies and vanilla cake into gastronomical revelations is beyond me but I find myself counting the days until the next visit to Looking Glass Coffee.”
