Hello Cupcake: Flavors

We emailed Penny, the owner and chef of Hello Cupcake, and she filled us in on the flavors. You can see a list of all of the flavors they will offer here, and Penny tells us her plans for the GF flavors.

I am trying to create a gluten-free version of most “regular” flavors. So, for the most part, all the flavors you see on the regular menu will rotate through the gluten-free menu as well. The only difference is that the gluten-free selection is limited to one flavor per day. Maybe more later

In my opinion, so far my BEST gluten-free flavors are a couple of the more exotic ones – the carrot cake and the triple coconut. You probably already know this if you are on a gluten-free diet, but I am finding that the flavors with lots of other goodies in them besides flour make the best gluten-free versions. The gluten-free carrot cake has carrots, pineapple, coconut and walnuts, so you don’t even notice the flour substitution!

The coconut is similar – lots of coconut, coconut cream, and coconut cream-cheese frosting make it taste like the “real thing”!
