Any suggestions on where I can get yummy gluten free ake or cupcakes? I am in West Hollywood, but willing to travel if it's worth it. Thanks in advance!

Although they are individual, they are really rich--and are easily 2 portions each. My husband, who is gluten intolerant--and very sensitive to even the tiniest spec of gluten--loves these, and we do too. So many gluten-free baked goods with replacement flours taste odd to everyone except the gluten intolerant. Sat Oct 10 22:18:57 -0700 2009 5092032 200803 coffeebrownies 1 5094462 Mani's on Fairfax.

It's made by either Betty Crocken or Duncan Heinz. Sun Oct 11 20:28:49 -0700 2009 5094462 10854 SIMIHOUND 2 5098764 Last time I checked they didn't ahve gluten-free--are you sure that they do now? Mon Oct 12 22:12:44 -0700 2009 5094462 200803 coffeebrownies 3 5099437 I saw it last week at the Simi Valley store at about 5000 LA Ave. at Stearns. Now that I think of it, maybe they stocked it because of a weekly ad special on the regular cake mix. I dont get there a lot because I shop elsewhere mostly.

Their cookies, cupcakes, and brownies are amazing, and they carry both gluten-free and vegan varieties. I can't wait until they're open!
