Our story

Hi! I’m Hannah Hinrichs, the owner and baker of Little Sister Bakery. We are a home-based bakery located in the Brainerd Lakes Area, specializing in gluten-free desserts made with precision and care.

My baking journey began when I joined the team at Knotty Pine Bakery. Over the course of six incredible years, I surrounded myself in the art and science of baking, perfecting my skills and discovering my passion for creating delicious and memorable baked goods.

While working there, I noticed there was something missing in our community — Gluten-free options. Being Gluten Intolerant myself, I gathered my best gluten-free recipes and started baking for a panel of judges (my lucky family). With their feedback, I refined my recipes, ensuring that every bite was just as good–if not better–than traditional wheat-filled treats.

That’s how Little Sister Bakery was born: a gluten-free, home-based bakery that ensures no one has to miss out on life’s sweetest moments. From cupcakes and cookies to custom cakes for any celebration, every item is handcrafted with high-quality ingredients and a commitment to flavor and texture.

As a little sister, I know firsthand how crazy siblings can make you—but they also pushed me to strive for the best and reach my dreams. They are the heart of Little Sister Bakery.

Thank you for supporting Little Sister Bakery. Whether you’re looking for a special dessert or treating yourself, we’re here to make your day a little sweeter—gluten-free and worry-free!
