Anyone looking for a good gluten-free cake mix can look no further, said Jennifer Johnson, the creator of Gluten Free Please, LLC.
Johnson makes gluten- and nut-free baking mixes, ranging from chocolate cake to Irish soda bread, and sells them for people to use. Several of the mixes are also free of other ingredients like milk and sugar.
“For people like me that get very sick, avoiding those things is so important,” Johnson said. “And I still think everyone should be able to enjoy the foods they love.”

Health issues, positive feedback create inspiration for business
Johnson started having digestive issues in 2005 and went gluten free after a doctor recommendation, but it didn’t solve all her problems. After years of misdiagnoses, she was finally diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis and IBS in 2017, and had to assume a low FODMAP diet along with being gluten free.
“I knew then I needed to figure out what to do, because I love baking,” Johnson said.
But store-bought mixes weren’t cutting it.
“Having to find gluten-free things is very limiting, especially back in 2005,” she said. “But even now, there’s still a lot of things in stores that have nuts or soy or dairy.”
She started developing her own base mixes instead and had been using them to bake goods for years. It was really after using her chocolate cake mix for work events that people started asking her for the recipe.
“They would say, ‘This is so good. You need to give us the recipe,’ and ‘You should make this again.’ And these people were not gluten-free, so the fact that they loved it meant a lot,” Johnson said.
Starting a business with help from other South Dakota chefs, bakers
Then a year ago, she discovered the South Dakota FAST Launch program, which is a program designed to assist entrepreneurs and small businesses with starting and expanding their business.
Her new dream started to become a reality when Johnson approached Chef Ellen Doerr in Sioux Falls and asked if she would be interested in letting her sell the mixes at the store. Chef Ellen said yes.
After that, Johnson knew she would need more space to create her mixes. That’s where April Smith from Heart of the City Bakery came in.
Her industrial kitchen, which is also gluten- and allergen-free, was the perfect space for Johnson to create her mixes on a large scale without having to worry about cross-contamination.

“Both these girls have been amazing as far as supporting my little adventure goes,” Johnson said. “I couldn’t do this without them.”
New mixes and where to find Gluten Free Please
Gluten Free Please currently offers 12 different mixes including banana bread cake, biscuits, blueberry muffins,donuts, cookies and pancakes and waffles. There is also a sugar-free cornbread mix that can be used in cornbread stuffing – the perfect item for Thanksgiving, she said.
Each of the mixes comes with a recipe on the back as well as a add-in recommendations for an extra twist.
“It’s been a wonderful experience and a lot of fun,” she said. “I’ve learned a lot in the process, and I’m still learning.”
Part of that learning was creating accurate nutritional labels and getting certified with the FDA, which are important parts of her business process, Johnson said. She also has a new egg-free pie crust mix in the works and plans to come up with other mixes in the future.
Customers can purchase mixes at Chef Ellen at 2210 W. 69th Street and at Harvey Family Chiropractic and Wellness at 3220 W. 57th Street.
“I was to just visit with people and see what they like, what they don’t like and learn what I can do better to help,” she said.
Johnson will also sell her mixes at the 605 Made Holiday Market on December 3.
