    The cup cakes look scrumptious. I think chocolate mint would be my choice for frosting. This gives me hope that gluten free doesn’t have to be the end of culinary delights and baking. I found gluten free lasgne noodles and so much more that I was afraid that I would have to give up at my local store. Thanks for the great recipes.
