Cooler temperatures have been trickling in and baking warm treats is one of our favorite things to do on chillier days. We recently held a Gluten Free Baking with King Arthur Flour class - our students baked all kinds of delicious goodies including Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze and Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, both pictured here. Many of our students have heard us say that we use King Arthur Flour exclusively because weve noticed an improvement in our breads, desserts and other baked goods, and its definitely true. King Arthur has tons of recipes, both gluten free and non gluten free, on their website so feel free to give some of them a try! Happy baking!
