One of the first things I thought about when finding out the kids have Celiacs was CUPCAKES. Jayda loves them. And to say loves is a complete understatement. Any time I even begin to mention birthday her mind automatically shifts into cupcakes and balloons....in that order. My heart broke thinking that she would be the only one not able to join in eating them at birthday parties. So on Friday I made it my mission as a mom to find her a cupcake mix she could eat and make her cupcakes. We were going to a party on Saturday so the time was pretty short....especially considering I had never cooked with anything other than wheat flour!
We succeeded at Henry's, I was really pleased with what we picked out. We came right home and got to work. Jayda was really excited about having her own "special" cupcakes.
The batter was NOT good.....she asked and asked and asked so finally I let her try a taste and she wrinkled her nose and ran away. That finally solves the problem of her licking the batter everytime I bake now!

I thought that they turned out great, she ate the whole thing at the party and she didn't seem to mind having something different from everyone else. I am sure the pink sprinkles helped quite a bit......as did all the wonderful people who made a point to say something awesome about her "special" cupcake....it really means a lot to me how much people care for my kids.
