Help Me Grow Sin Gluten Co. - A Gluten-Free Mexican Bakery

Hello, my name is Estefany, and I’m the owner and baker behind Sin Gluten Co., a gluten-free Mexican bakery based in the Central Coast of California. I started this bakery out of necessity. I live with celiac disease and I wanted to create the pan dulce I grew up loving, in a way that’s safe, inclusive, and made with cultura.

Every concha, puerquito, polvorón, and pan I make is baked in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen space I rent part-time. I work a part-time job to fund every ingredient, label, box, and vendor fee but it’s getting harder to keep up.

Right now, I’m raising funds to help me:

• Continue renting kitchen space and cover rising ingredient costs

• Cover health department permits and application fees required to start shipping pan dulce safely across the U.S.

• Expand my menu (sugar-free and dairy-free options) and bring more nostalgic gluten-free treats to the community.

• Purchase packaging and equipment that will allow me to grow

• Eventually transition into a full-time bakery with a permanent home

This isn’t just about baked goods, it’s about creating space for people with dietary restrictions to enjoy the flavors of home again. I’ve poured everything I have into this business (literally and financially), and now I’m asking for a little help to keep going.

If you’ve ever enjoyed my pan dulce, shared my story, or simply believe in small, Latina-owned, gluten-free businesses, I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation, share, and kind word means the world to me.

Gracias,

Estefany Contreras
