Happy birthday to me.

Today just happens to be my birthday. In honor of turning 29 for about the 4th time, I decided to celebrate by putting together a list of delicious gluten-gree cakes! There’s a little something here for everyone: chocolate (that’d be for me), red velvet, white, angel food, cheesecake, carrot cake, tiramisu, cupcakes… No matter what kind of cake you enjoy, you’ll find it here!

A small confession.

Before we dig in, I have a little confession to make. I’m not really a cake person. Well, I didn’t use to be one, anyway. One of the side effects of growing up with a real-food mom was that junk food kinda got lost on me. Birthday parties and such – with all their boxed, dry, over frosted cakes – were not my favorite things. I actually preferred my grandma’s homemade fruit cake at our family’s Christmas party!

But going gluten-free changed all that. I can honestly say that I now enjoy cake. In my humble opinion, gluten-free cakes are 100x better than there gluten containing counterparts! (Except for my husband’s groom’s cake at our wedding – that was pretty awesome, thanks to my bff’s mom.)

So it’s with much lip-licking and picking out of my favorites that I present to you this delicious round-up of gluten-free cakes. 

Enjoy….

PS: If the cake fits in to any specific diet (i.e. paleo, vegan, egg-free, etc.) I’ve labeled it as such. You’re welcome. If *not* labeled as anything, assume that said cake is full of dairy, eggs, and sugar.

Fruity cakes.

Not to be confused with fruit cakes. Though I really actually do love fruit cake and would totally stick one in this round-up if I could find a good gluten-free one. I’m talking about cakes made with lemons, bananas, pineapples, strawberries, etc. As in, cakes that you should technically be able to eat for breakfast ’cause they have fruit in them.

Need a side for dinner, but the kids don’t like veggies? No prob, Bob (or mom). Just stick it in their dessert. Not that I’m saying your kids shouldn’t eat their greens. They totally should. But a good carrot cake or chocolate zucchini cake might help…
