Artisanal Gluten-Free Cupcakes

Description

The foundation of these recipes is their intensively developed gluten-free flour blend, which enables home cooks to craft bakery-quality confections, from child-pleasing favourites like Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting or 'Peanut Butter Cup' Cakes, to more subtle and surprising treats like Mojito or Poached Pearfection cupcakes. They include tips for adapting the recipes to alternative diets of all kinds, including egg-, dairy-, and refined sugar-free versions. These are cupcakes so good even those who don't eat gluten-free will love them.
