Gluten and Dairy Free Chocolate Cupcakes




Another purely pictorial post (for the moment, anyway). These chocolate birthday cupcakes were my first foray into gluten free baking, and I was more than a little nervous, imagining dry, gritty cakes. But far from it, they were moist and enjoyed not only by the gluten-free Birthday Girl, but the other party goers too. I was surprised at how easily I could just sub out standard flour from a normal recipe for a gluten-free variety. Adding a little extra liquid, they came out really well.

Dairy Free Baby Shower Cupcakes




A pictorial post... but these little beauts are dairy free and topped with vegetarian jelly beans...
Iced in pale pink, yellow and blue as the baby's sex is a surprise, they went down a treat.
