Today, I want to empower you with the knowledge that you have the ability to show your children (and yourself) that gluten-free diets can be a delightful journey, not a deprivation. 

As you know, a gluten-free diet means avoiding foods that contain the protein gluten, such as wheat, rye, barley, and spelt. 

Fun Fact: The word gluten originates from the Latin word for glue. 

Of course, this checks out because gluten is literally what gives bread, pastries, cakes, and flour a sticky consistency when combined with water, the ability to rise, and the texture. In other words, gluten is the glue that holds our beloved desserts together. 

Thankfully, You Can Have Your  Gluten-free Cake & Eat It Too. 

The key to incredible gluten-free dessert recipes is patience and experimenting with what works for you. You’ll learn the ropes of combining gluten-free flour and thickeners like xanthan gum to add texture to your cakes in no time.  There are plenty of gluten free self raising and plain flours available on the market which will help you make great gluten free cakes. 

Or, if you want to take the guesswork out of it for now, I’ve done the work for you and have a few epic gluten-free dessert recipes for you to try.
