New bakery opens in downtown Red Deer

A new business believed to Canada’s only bakery with a kitchen free of dairy, gluten and nuts has opened its doors in downtown Red Deer.

Fates Cauldron Bakery hosted a grand opening ceremony on Saturday, June 27, with Deputy Mayor Jaelene Tweedle helping to cut a ribbon in front of the business, located at 5004 48 St.

“It’s a very exciting day,” said Destiny Stone, Fates Cauldron Bakery owner.

Fates Cauldron Bakery has had a regular booth at the Gasoline Alley Farmers’ Market every other week for about a year and a half.

“It’s a very needed switch, moving out of my home kitchen. I’m excited to get into commercial baking,” said Stone.

“Sprouts Vine Bistro (in downtown Red Deer) carries my hamburger buns already. There are a few grocery stores knocking on my door as well. It was the right time to get into an actual storefront.”

Stone herself is allergic to gluten and dairy.

“I just got tired of not having decent food to eat,” Stone said.

“It got to a point where every time I went out, I was rolling the dice on whether or not I get sick. I’m tired of that being the norm in Central Alberta. My solution was to start baking my own.”

Stone has been a baker for a number of years, she noted.

“This isn’t the first bakery I’ve owned, but the switch to gluten-, dairy- and nut-free was a hard learning curve. There was a solid eight months before I had any products I felt comfortable selling to the public,” she said.

“We started at the Gasoline Alley Farmers’ Market and over the last year and a half I’ve built quite the following. Now here we are.”

Stone said she’s excited to bring her business to downtown Red Deer.

“This is a little bit more central for everybody,” said Stone.

“Not everybody can make it out to Gasoline Alley. Given the schedule I had, I wasn’t there every week — I was there every other week. Unless you really followed my schedule or social media, it was kind of a guessing game if I was there or not. Downtown Red Deer is easier to get to.”
