gluten free desires

My best friend is gluten intolerant, and she hates shop bought cakes that are, because she says they are too dry. I baked a gluten free ruby wedding cake for her recently and she thought it was heaven. So a friend of mine, who owns a tea room recently contacted me to see if I'd be interested in doing some baking for her. I've got a meeting with her next week. I want to suggest she does a gluten free range cakes. What do you think?

Great idea. Know a few people who scream out for a good gluten free cake. Also a market for that is growing all the time!

If you're going to bake them for the people in your friends tea room then the only way you'll know if there's a market for them is to ask the people in the tea room. You wouldn't want to bake them on the say-so of the folk on here and them not sell and wonder why.

Personally, given the choice of exactly same type of cake, one of them being gluten free and one not, I'd go for not but that's just one voice.

Poke it then!

As it happens, I meant to say I'd choose the one that was gluten free but even if I hadn't, there was no need for such a curt, dismissive reply.

You asked for people opinions on the subject and I think I gave you a perfectly polite opinion on how to gauge whether or not there might be a market for these things but you crack on. If you want to use the forums to gauge a market need for cakes in one tearoom, go right ahead.

I can't have gluten which makes it hard when you go into coffee shops as I can't eat anything

well that's what I want to change. It's not anymore expensive to make. Vegetarians had this problem years ago. All I want to know, would there be a market for this?

I (Mrs) cant have gluten either. The more tearooms that cater for this also raises awareness. Sounds like heaven to go to a tearoom for coffee and cake

Exactly this. It's not an issue I have, but if it sounds and looks tasty then I'd happily eat it

Oui Oui!

I have no allergies but know a few people (adults and kids) that do and finding a coffee shop that does have a gluten/dairy free selection is great!

I have found that when they do have gluten free cakes, the people in the shop did not know all the ingredients, so giving them a detailed list of what you have used would be useful.

I have made a few cakes using polenta. And to replace the cow's milk, I use hazelnut or soya milk. Hazelnut milk does give a nice taste

Good luck

When we are on a mega health kick we cut out normal bread & cakes but sometimes as a treat we go for the gluten free options.

So you might find it's not just those with intolerances that would like the option there as well.

Good luck & let us know if you need any samplers.

Andy has the sin of gluttony on his CV so as this is a glutton free zone he might give it a miss

More and more places are doing the gluten free thing. There is certainly a market for it. If you can master the bread then you are on to a winner. Out if all the gluten free food I think that's the worst.

I think I would rather eat cardboard. It's a hit or miss with the bread.

To moisten cakes you can grate either carrot or unpicked beetroot into them and they moisten the cake.

It sounds weird but works !!!!

Thanks. I've had no complaints so far. So here's hoping.
