Who is Victoria?
Hi! I’m Victoria, the owner and baker at Simply Baked by Victoria. I have celiac disease with other food sensitivities and aversions, which typically makes it difficult to eat the “normal” food that most everyone around me eats. I really enjoy quality bread, good desserts, and GF Oreos!
Obviously, I love to bake and cook, but I also enjoy reading, playing with kids, and my full-time job as an early interventionist.
How It Started
Simply Baked by Victoria started out over ten years ago when allI I wanted was a good slice of pizza, bread that didn’t have to be frozen, and a cookie that tasted like an Oreo. Who else understands my struggle?
If you understand, then you also probably have tried to recreate some things too. At first, I failed and failed and failed. I ate things, but they were dense and dry and hard to eat. I really thought that’s what I was stuck with forever.
I was soooo tired of crappy bread, gritty cookies, and subpar food. All the food at the store I could find was either frozen and just didn’t warm up well and all of it was FILLED with preservatives and artificial ingredients.
Now, I don’t know about you, but my body hates gluten for sure, but it also doesn’t do well with so many other ingredients- including preservatives, artificial ingredients, and pretty much anything that isn’t natural food.
When COVID hit, I was one of “those” people who took up baking as a hobby. Let’s be honest, I already LOVED baking and cooking, but I was at home with my almost two-year old daughter and my online teaching job. I had time to actually bake and experiment! I took advantage of the opportunity and made some tasty food!!
With some experience behind me and some yummy recipes, I decided to start sharing the love with some friends. Which has now turned into, “You should sell this! Can I buy some from you?”
Living in rural Southwest Kansas, we don’t have any options! The stores out here have very limited gluten-free items and when they do offer them, they are subpar at best. I KNEW I couldn’t be the only one who struggled with this issue.
If you know me, I’m a person who loves to serve and help others. Knowing that there has to be others who just wanted a dang cinnamon roll, I knew I had to do something about it. That’s how Simply Baked by Victoria blossomed!
Since the start of Simply Baked by Victoria, my family and I have unexpected relocated to Wichita, KS. I still want to help provide for as many people as possible, so I offer shipping on certain items- other items I will not ship because I truly believe in the quality of my food and know that shipping time can affect the freshness that I can provide.
