To find the number of full cakes the bakery can make, we need to divide the total amount of gluten-free flour by the amount used for each cake: 6.5 pounds / 0.75 pounds/cake = <<6.5/0.75=8.666666666666666>>8.6666666666666667.
We can't have a fraction of a cake, so the bakery can only make 8 full cakes. Answer: \boxed{8}.
