About Helm Baked

Helm Baked is a gluten-free bakery located on Consortium Ct in the Westminster neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves the local community and surrounding area, offering a variety of gluten-free treats designed to appeal to both those with dietary restrictions and skeptics of gluten-free baking. The bakery provides a diverse dessert menu that includes cookies, pies, cakes, tarts, squares, and butter tarts. In addition to direct sales, the business supplies products to various cafes throughout the London area. The business was established in 2017 by Sue Helm, who began baking for her family for 24 years before her children received celiac disease diagnoses. Seeking to recreate traditional treats without gluten, Sue partnered with her daughters, Sara, Rachael, and Shelby, to launch the bakery. While it began in a certified kitchen in Aylmer, the business moved to its current brick-and-mortar location in early 2023. Helm Baked also maintains a presence as a vendor at the Covent Garden Outdoor Farmer’s Market. The company highlights its commitment to the community through contributions to organizations such as the Urban Alliance on Race Relations, LIFE*SPIN, SickKids Foundation, the London and area Food Bank, Atlohsa Family Healing Services, and the Ronald McDonald House London. Customers can place orders and inquiries via email, though the bakery does not accept orders in-store. All dessert orders require a minimum of 10 days' notice and must be paid in full via e-transfer to be secured. The bakery does not offer delivery, and all orders must be picked up at the shop during store hours. The business notes that it does not provide custom cake designs, writing on cakes, wedding cakes, cake tastings, or tiered cakes.
