Made by Hand in Small Batches in our Gluten Free Bakery in Asheville, NC
Dolci di Maria (dol-chee-dee- Maria) was founded by Mary Tantillo in 2008, after creating delicious desserts for her children with allergies to gluten and dairy. Since then, she has made it her mission to provide decadent desserts for individuals with specific dietary needs and lifestyle choices that everyone can enjoy.

Testimonials
Found these delish vegan/sugar free brownies at the Farmer’s Market. Amazing! I highly recommend these baked goods if you want to stay away from processed food and/or have food sensitivities. ✌
Excellent selection of high quality vegan desserts!
[I] tried Dolci di Maria for the first time at the Asheville Gluten Free Expo. [I] made my [cake] last almost a week because I wanted to savor every bite! So delicious and wonderfully gluten free! The pancake mix is the best gluten free mix I have found. It’s packed full of flavor and very fluffy in texture!”
I think my favorite is the brownies–no, maybe the ginger cake–but I really like the Orange Chai cake–oh my! Everything is delicious and so wonderfully packaged. You must try all of it.
Excellent Gluten Free products! Had the Very Vanilla Cake–loved it!
We were so pleased to find [Dolci di Maria] desserts at our Whole Foods and Lowes Foods. We have a dairy allergy and find it tough to find baked goods that are safe and delicious. [These] are both!!
Easily the BEST vegan/gf dessert I’ve EVER had. I’m so glad we stopped at Whole Foods for lunch [because] this cake truly changed my life.
