Simply Gluten Free

Cupcakes.....Whoever invented the cupcake was a culinary genius. A cupcake is so much more than just a smaller version of the full thing.

A cupcake is...

Portion controlled pleasure.
- Something you don’t have to share.
- A license to be naughty because there's no commitment.
- But mostly a cupcake is a whole celebration that fits in your hand!

Is there anything better than a cupcake?

Yes! A gluten free cupcake. And yes the above cupcakes are gluten free!

What I love about cupcakes is that you can make any kind you want unlike larger cakes which would take alot more to top with your chosen toppings. Your imagination is your only limit really. You can make coconut cupcakes, peanut butter and jelly cupcakes, strawberry and cream, Banoffee, lemon and lime, the list is endless! As for the toppings... well I thought I had tried them all until I discovered whipped cream frosting! Wow! It looks great and I will be topping my next lot of cupcakes with those!

On par with this is the fact I have found out how to make gluten free cream puffs! Just like the profiteroles you can get. These you can have filled with cream and jam or cream and chocolate ganache. I am going to try them dairy free as well by substituting Butter for oil and Milk for coconut cream. Which apparently tastes better! I will let you know once I have tried it!

Lets celebrate everything sweet and a gluten free diet in abundance!
