The Story

Making your sweet dreams come true, one treat at a time!

Hi! I’m Allyson of Treats by Allyson!

I’m so glad you found my shop! Like so many women, I never expected to be where I am now—raising kids and owning a thriving bakery. But my journey here started in early 2017 with a challenge I never saw coming.

That was the year we found out that our youngest daughter, Abigail, had life-threatening food allergies. The news was overwhelming, and I was terrified she’d never experience the joy of a truly delicious dessert. But once the shock wore off, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work in the kitchen.

Those early days were far from glamorous—let’s be honest, the first attempts were awful. My family lovingly endured batches of dense, dry, and flavorless treats as I learned how to bake with alternative ingredients. But I stuck with it. Slowly, my confidence grew, and my creations transformed into something amazing. Soon, the desserts weren’t just “Abby-friendly”—they were genuinely good.

What started as a way to protect Abigail turned into something much bigger. As she got older, Abigail realized she always had to bring her own treats to birthday parties and events. She handled it like a champ, but I could see the sadness in her eyes. Then one day, she finally got to eat the same cake as everyone else. Her eyes lit up, and she said, “Momma, I’m eating the same cake as everyone else!” That moment changed everything for me.

From that point on, I knew I wanted to create desserts that weren’t just allergy-friendly but also so delicious that no one could tell the difference. And that’s exactly what Treats by Allyson has become. Today, many of my customers don’t even know the bakery started because of food allergies—they just know the treats are THAT good.

At Treats by Allyson, I specialize in baking allergy-friendly desserts that rival, no scratch that, surpass, “normal” treats. My goal is to make desserts that bring joy to everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions, at an affordable price. Because I know what it’s like to pay extra just to keep your child safe, and I believe everyone deserves to enjoy something sweet.

What You’ll Get

Every order is baked with care and customizable to fit your needs. All of my treats are dairy, egg and nut-free (yes, even “almond” products are avoided), but I’m happy to make further adjustments for gluten, sugar, or other ingredients. I promise, once you try one of my desserts, you won’t want anything else!

Expanded Offerings

As my bakery has grown, so have my services. I’m thrilled to now offer recipes, training sessions, and subscription options to meet all your baked good needs. Whether you’re looking to master baking yourself or want a steady stream of sweet inspiration, I’m here to help you make it happen.

Come back and visit - products are always being added!

One important note: all orders are baked in my personal kitchen. While we are a food allergy family, our home is not allergen-free. Abigail has learned to recognize her allergens and stays safe, but the rest of us sometimes eat things she can’t. My kitchen is thoroughly cleaned, and allergy-friendly ingredients are used to match each individual order. Think of it like those “may contain” or “made on shared equipment” labels you see on food packaging—I take every precaution to ensure your treats are safe and delicious.
