I love Treasures!

My idea of a treasure is unconventional...a friendly gesture, a captured moment, beauty just lurking. These things, I pause to appreciate and feel enriched by every day. This blog will be a trove of treasures we choose to share with each other!Please join me in the pursuit of everyday treasure!

Gluten Free Find!

Miglet's made my day! I am an avid baker. I take pride in making cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and breads from scratch. Even more, I LOVE eating them with friends and family!! I recently discovered that when I eat something with wheat in it, I get a painful rash on my face. Even a single french fry from a restaurant that buys them frozen, will cause painful blisters. (They are tossed in a starchy flour to keep them from sticking to each other.) When I was asked to make cupcakes to take to a family gathering yesterday, I asked my husband to stop by Miglet's to buy me a single cupcake. He chose the chocolate raspberry cupcake. It was absolutely delicious! The smooth, chocolate cake was very chocolaty. It had a bit of raspberry jam in the middle. This tasty gem was topped with lovely buttercream and a fresh raspberry. Yum, yum, yum!!! Let's face it, baking with different types of flours creates varied texture and flavor results. This cupcake wasn't exactly like mine. I am confident though that my gluten eating family members would be delighted to feast on these cupcakes too. My gluten free cupcake didn't seem like an artificial substitute for a normal cupcake the way a diet soda substitutes a normal soda. It was simply a very good cupcake! Thank you Miglet's! I'll be back!!!
