Hi, I’m Julie — pastry chef, baker, and the founder of Cedar Hill Bakeshop.

After years of working as a professional baker, I found myself facing the same frustrations so many home bakers experience with gluten-free baking: dense bread, disappointing texture, and recipes that just didn’t work the way they promised. Through a lot of testing, refining, and learning why gluten-free baking behaves differently, I discovered the key techniques and ingredients that truly make a difference.

Today, I help home bakers confidently create soft breads, everyday favorites, and desserts that everyone can enjoy — whether they’re gluten-free or not. My goal is to make gluten-free baking feel approachable, reliable, and joyful, so no one ever feels left out at the table.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to bake alongside you.

— Julie
