From the Mouth of a Kid:

I had gluten-free cake at my birthday party! We all got to eat the same cake and it was so yummy! 

From the Eyes of a Parent:

I’m so happy to not have to make two versions of recipes – one gluten-free, and one not. With Cup4Cup, I don’t have to alter recipes – I simply use 1 cup of Cup4Cup instead of 1 cup of traditional flour in any of my recipes. It couldn’t be easier and there’s no compromise in taste!
