A couple of weeks ago, we went to a local cupcake bakery, Batch Cupcakes. The week that we went, they had made two delicious varieties of gluten-free cupcakes, Pumpkin and Chocolate. Usually, I have to get cupcakes from the frozen section at Whole Foods, but this cupcakery offers gluten-free cupcakes that are FRESH. They completely sanitize their equipment in order to be sure there is NO contamination. Then, they bake several batches of gluten-free cupcakes that they bake on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Once they are sold out for the week, you have to wait for the next week's complete kitchen cleaning and baking of gluten-free cupcakes.
If you are a Celiac kid like me, there are some great tips for gluten-free cupcakes. First of all, if you are lucky enough to have a bakery in town that can guarantee their cupcakes to be free from contamination, then you can buy several, and freeze them individually in plastic bags. Then, if you are invited to a birthday party or an event or restaurant where there is dessert being offered that is NOT gluten-free, you can take along a cupcake. Just be sure to defrost it several hours on the counter before you want to eat it. This way, you also get to eat dessert with everyone else! If you don't have a local gluten-free bakery, don't worry. Places like Whole Foods sell gluten free cupcakes and muffins {and they are really good} in their frozen bakery section for all gluten-free baked goods. Just put those in your freezer to keep on hand.
I would say that the Batch cupcakes were very very yummy. Even the people in my family that do not have Celiac really enjoyed them {although I hate to share. Also, we used a Groupon so we got a really good deal on a dozen}.

Have a delish gluten-free day! School is out for the summer so I am sure every day will be a good day.
