Ashley’s Organic Desserts is amazing! She’s really lovely to work with, too, and can do custom orders. She offers pick up from her home in Robbinsville, right off 195, but I believe she’s in the Howell area, too. We’re near Red Bank and it was 100% worth the drive. We had emailed and called around to a number of different bakeries about a custom order but she was the only bakery who could make something safe for my son allergy wise.

We got a gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free & pea protein free cake from her 2 months ago for my son’s birthday and it was absolutely delicious. No one in our family could believe that it was actually free of all of those allergens as it tasted that good. We all went back for seconds & thirds.

Depending on what you’re looking for, another really delicious option is Cookman Creamery in Asbury Park. They make gluten free, vegan ice cream cakes and pies. The one I got had gluten free chocolate crunchies in the center like how Carvel makes their ice cream cakes. Their vegan ice creams are made with different bases like coconut cream, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk or tahini for those with allergies or personal preferences.
