Gluten Free Cake Flags

We saw this idea for Cake Flags around Halloween last year and adapted it to Gluten Free Cooking. I sent these cup cakes off to school for Grandparents Day last week. I know we are not the only Gluten Free family at school and thought it would be nice and clear for all our guests on the day that these cup cakes were made Gluten Free.

You could adapt this idea to Nut and Egg Free too.

We just printed out the signs, cut out the shapes and stuck them to tooth picks. The tooth picks are handy for stopping the glad wrap squashing the icing on the top of the cup cakes too.

Gluten Free Cupcakes

Parents at School were asked to bake something for Grandparents Day last week, for afternoon tea that is shared with the children. As one of my girls is Coeliac and Gluten Free I sent along these cup cakes.

I used the Basco Gluten Free Packet Mix but made cup cakes instead of one large cake. I think cup cakes are easier for school to serve and have less chance of cross contamination as they don't need to be sliced.

This is such an easy packet mix to follow and they keep beautifully if made the night before. Gluten Free cakes seem to keep fresh longer than traditional cakes. Just another positive for being Gluten Free.

Follow the instructions on the box and remove the cup cakes out of the oven after about 10 to 15 minutes or when they spring to the touch.
