Karl - owner/baker
Hi, I’m Karl, the owner of GRAIN REAPER BAKING CO (formerly Iron Crumble), where baking meets edgy alternative whatever. In 2023, a year after being diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy that turned my world upside down, I conjured up the idea of Iron Crumble, driven by the longing to indulge in a cookie whenever the craving struck. What started as a hap-hazard hobby designed to satisfy the need for dedicated GF treats evolved into a heart-warming way for me to connect to my late Nonna, who blessed me with the love of baking when I was a young girl. With a background in science and a commitment to inclusivity, I set out to create safe treats with a unique Italian twist, making them perfect for those who crave a little edginess with their dessert. Whether you're drawn to the dark, elegant themes or simply seeking a high-quality gluten-free dessert, Grain Reaper promises an unforgettable journey into the world of gourmet cookies. Welcome to the dark side of baking, I’m grateful you have joined me. Eat cookies or die. - karl
