Jo entered our June / July birthday cake competition and included the following recipe pictorial for cake pops. We loved it and think it’s worth sharing. Here it is..

Jo – “We’ve had 3 in our household diagnosed with Coeliac Disease in the last 8 months so it’s all a bit new to us. My daughter who has just turned 4 was the first to be diagnosed and her birthday party was used to prove to me that a fully gluten free party is easy, fun and tasty. It was also a way to educate our friends on the food we can eat. My 2 year old and I also have coeliac disease.

Of course with any 4 year old, the cake is the most exciting part. That’s where the cake mix came in very handy – guaranteed to be yum! I’ll admit I had a practice go at making these cake pops as it was my first attempt at them but my daughter was happy with the result. I hope you are too. I’m sure that any of your cake mixes could be used for these. 

Thanks for your products.
