We had a big group that included my parents, grandpa, and 2 brothers and their little families. TJ's parents came too. The trip went surprisingly well for having 3 small kids (5, 3, & 6 months). Between all the stops it took about 12 hours driving each way. But it was fun to be with both of our families.
Bridget's birthday was while we were there and Kate's birthday is tomorrow. It was also TJ's sister's birthday. So we had a little party with everyone.
I actually had planned to make cupcakes with my yummy cupcake recipe, but I forgot the Xanathan gum! It is a very important ingredient. Luckily, my mom found a little bakery close by that is strictly gluten free. I think we may have to go back to Utah just for this little shop...
Eleanor's Bake Shop. A nice little place that is family owned and operated. The neat thing is that most everyone in the family has Celiac disease. The very best thing about this place is there is no cross contamination because they don't have anything not gluten free. That and it was delicious! I don't think I could tell the difference between theirs and not gluten free.
Pizza by the sliceI couldn't take a picture quickly enough! (hence the few bites already taken!) This has to be the best gf pizza crust I have had. It isn't super thin! It isn't really thick, but it is the thickest gf I have had. And it is chewy! TJ was in heaven.
We got these beauties for the party.
Top left to bottom right, Strawberry, Hummingbird (pineapple, coconut, banana), Triple chocolate, Chocolate cherry, Orange chocolate, Raspberry cream cheese.
I loved every single one of these! They were the perfect texture. So moist and soft. The frosting was amazing too. Kate had the strawberry cupcake. She sat there licking the frosting for about 5 minutes!
To keep me from eating the above before we got to the party I treated myself to this amazing snicker doodle...
