Our church was blessed with some of Mary's churros that were gone in the first hour! They were delicious, and Mary is a pleasure to work with. She worked with us to determine the best option for feeding a diverse group of people who would enjoy her desserts. I would highly recommend working with her! read more

Misinformation about location online. They don't answer the phone or get back to you when you leave a message.

not great. no return call and once I did she couldn't fill request due to travel out of town! too bad. she has been touted as excellent!!

Mary is such a talented baker! I absolutely loved my gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free Mounds cake for my birthday. It had been so many years since I had a birthday cake and this was one of the best cakes I've had. It was beautiful in presentation, easy to arrange pick-up, and Mary was lovely to work with. Highly recommend!! read more

My wife is sensitive to gluten so I sought out Amore. Mary was amazing throughout the process and helped me with the perfect birthday present. A purse Chocolate ganache cake inside was rich and delicious, and it was plenty for a party of 16. Our little niece asked for the "handle" and said it was good. Mary came up with the design and idea, and executed it perfectly. I will definitely order from Amore and Mary again read more

Mary at Amore Alterative Desserts made the most delicious lemon pound cake as a thank you gift for my neighbor. It was so good I almost wanted to keep it for myself. He finished it off by the next day. Thankfully, I did get a slice. I also LOVE her chocolate chip cookies. They are the perfect texture balance. They are thin and crispy, yet soft and chewy. They are so good. I recommend trying her desserts for those who want an alternative AND even those who don't. These two desserts would be enjoyed by anyone. I look forward to trying some more of her great treats. read more

The fact that desserts are made gluten free and refined sugar free is a bonus! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Mary makes the most delectable treats. I ordered the apple churro bites & pumpkin pecan bars for my husband's birthday. It was super easy to communicate with Mary & pick up the desserts. She helped me keep it a surprise too! Both treats were so tasty & the prices are very reasonable for special order items. We will be ordering again - just need another occasion! Thanks Mary! read more

OMG ... everything was soooooo good!! We got a Mounds Cake, Brown Rice Treats and Almond Lace Cookies. My favorite was the Almond Lace Cookies (I will be ordering more of those to selfishly hide and eat). All 3 items were a huge hit! I look forward to trying more :) I would have attached a photo, but it was an empty platter quickly after putting it out. read more

Amore Alternative Desserts.....and MORE! I have been lucky to have tried several of Mary's goodies. Here are my Fall Favorites - I will start with the "more" :) Mary now has a savory little gem - Formaggio Puffs (cheese puffs with Gruyere baked in). These are savory little morsels that are irresistible! They would be perfect for any gathering as an appetizer with drinks (or wine pairing), especially during the holidays. Next up, Apple Churros! Why have I not heard of these before? Apples + churro = Delicious. Add the fact that these are gluten free......brilliant! You would never know. These perfect bite size babies are just the right amount of sweet, not the ridiculously over sugared treats that one might think of when they think "churro". Should you have any left over, they are divine with a cup of coffee in the morning. Pumpkin Tiramisu in a Cup. I had my reservations before trying this, I am not a huge tiramisu fan. The flavor I like, but the texture of soggy lady fingers just is not my thing. This Pumpkin Tiramisu in a Cup is not like that. Nothing soggy here! Wonderful crumbles with super-silky-subtle-pumpkin-marscapone-goodness, topped with an awesome pumpkin seed brittle! I went from not being a tiramisu fan to hidding the one I bought for my hubby because I do not want to share. Mary's passion is reflected in all that she does. Amore is the perfect alternative. read more

This was the third time we used Mary's services for a custom delicious paleo cake for one of our family celebration. The cakes are delicious, no refined sugar, moist, and the frosting is decadent, light, not overly sweet and very satisfying.

Yep, I've fallen in love with desserts again, thanks to Mary! Mary made a gluten-free and keto-friendly wedding cake for me to bring to a small reception yesterday. Not only was the cake beautiful, delicious, and healthy, but I found Mary to be creative, easy to work with, and great at her craft. Her desserts are every bit as good as "regular" ones from the fanciest bakeries; they will not disappoint, and neither will Mary! read more

These are the most flavorful desserts I've ever eaten! And they are gluten free, grain free and sugar free! The guests at our event were amazed at how good something without gluten, sugar and grain could taste this good ! Some of our family members have special dietary restrictions, so I was thrilled that all in attendance could enjoy everything without worrying about reactions to the ingredients. We had 3 cakes (Sacripantina; Carrots & Spice; and Chocolate Keto) and 3 types of cookies (Triple Chocolate Chunk; Citrus Madeleines; and Almond Lace). All were exceptionally tasty, although the Carrot & Spice cake was very crumbly. Those serving had difficulty getting a complete slice to stay together long enough to get onto a plate. But it didn't matter, because it was a delight to eat. I took 1/2 a Chocolate Keto cake out of state in my carry-on luggage for a taste test and it survived intact and was very well received. Mary delivered to our venue at no extra charge. I would highly recommend Mary and her fantastic, flavorful desserts, not just to those who have dietary restrictions, but to anyone who wants high quality, terrific desserts for any event. This is a local, home-based business, not part of a chain. I like to support local small businesses and this is one of the best I have encountered. Thanks Mary for making the refreshments a hit with our family and guests. read more

I have never had such a fabulous dessert ever before! The lemon bars were soooo amazing! From start to finish Mary knew just what I was looking for! Not only are they gluten-free, they are the most delicious desserts I have ever had! read more

I ordered the Chocolate chunk Cookies and the Mounds Cake for Mother's Day. They did not disappoint! The Chocolate Chunk Cookies were soft but had a crunch to them (sort of like the edges of brownies) and were delicious! The mounds cake was moist and not too sweet, but sweet enough to satisfy my craving for dessert. I will be ordering this again! I have just come off the Whole30 and wanted to find alternatives for my sweet tooth. I will be ordering from Mary again! read more

Great almond cookies, my dinner host (a clinical nutritionist) agreed. Thanks Mary. Support local business, order gluten free goodies from Mary. :=) read more

My close friend has really bad allergies to gluten, corn syrup, GMO additives, etc. I found Mary back in March of 2020. She explained to me that due to the Pandemic she no longer accepts cash transactions and helped me set up a Venmo account. No problem with the first transaction, the cake was the Chocolate Mounds Birthday Cake for pick up in April. My buddy really liked it, it was rich and very flavorful. I ordered another cake that we had this weekend 8/14/20. I chose the White Almond Joy cake this time, same size as the Chocolate one in April. Another great transaction. This time, I was cutting the cake and gave pieces to others without food allergies and asked for their opinion. Again, great reviews all around. Thank you Mary, I will be ordering cakes again. read more

There used to be a bakery in Danville that offered gluten-free desserts but they closed long ago. When I go to other Bakeries they do not have gluten-free options very often. Or if they do it's a very small offering. However, I finally found a Baker who has a wide variety of treats for gluten intolerant consumers of desserts. Not only does she have a good menu, she has delicious treats!!! I highly recommend the carrot cake and the almond cookies. My guess couldn't tell that they were NOT conventional. No refined sugar or flours made from gluten/wheat sources. OUTSTANDING! read more

Mary was wonderful to work with and really accommodating. We wanted two gluten-free, refined sugar-free cakes for a special birthday and she helped us make it happen. They were really delicious! They were both flourless chocolate cakes, one with ganache and one with caramel. I definitely recommend ordering from Mary! read more

I was visiting the area because of a new granddaughter's birth and it was the birthday of my daughter in laws mom who is here as well. I had the challenge of trying to figure a gluten free, keto, paleo etc cake and I found Amore. Wow!!! Absolutely delicious!! I bake a lot and use all the usual ingredients... I was unsure how the taste would be and wow absolutely delicious!!! The owner Mary is wonderful and for those with dietary challenges this should be your go to! And for those without dietary challenges , no worries the taste is divine! read more

Amore Desserts are works of art and delicious. Have had the opportunity to enjoy several times.

I am so glad I found Amore!! I'm gluten free and mainly paleo, so we try our best to keep refined sugars out of the house. We ordered apple churros for my daughter's fiesta themed 2nd birthday party and LOVED them. I don't remember when I last had a churro since becoming gluten free 7 years ago, so this was an exciting find. Our guests that aren't on GF diets enjoyed them just as much. Mary was very accommodating and I will definitely order again and again. read more

Approximately 45 minutes ago I picked up six of the mini cheesecakes and six of the sugar cookies with frosting as Valentine's Day gifts for the wifey. Presently, there are only two cookies left and 3 cheesecakes. I'm getting texts like "these are the best desserts ever" and "where on earth did you find these?" Suffice it to say they are delicious and have been a real treat at home! Thank you Amore! read more

Hands down the BEST desserts out there and gluten free and no refine sugar, YUMMY!!!

I got to try some samples of Amore Alternative Desserts and was so pleased, I have ordered them for my Chamber of Commerce mixer. They were all yummy. My favorite was the basic sugar cookie, which was beautifully decorated with a gold lame' design. There was also a fig cookie that was so good with coffee. I don't have to buy gluten free, but doesn't matter. I would buy them anyway. read more
