Gluten Free Food Review: Opera Cake by Cake Flour


I have some pretty exciting news for celiacs in the Louisville area. My place of employment, Java Brewing Company, is now carrying a monthly gluten-free pastry, which for December is an opera cake by local bakery Cake Flour.

"Decadent" is a word that gets thrown around a lot with chocolate, but I don't think it's cliche in this case. It's just a really convenient one word description of everything delicious going on with this treat. Even though I haven't had a glutenous dessert for over a decade, I feel pretty confident that this one will be enjoyed by even those without intolerances.

My wife has Celiacs coupled with a soy allergy... any idea what sort of oil they use in these cakes? Would love to surprise her one day...

Becky! How did we not establish this at cc? What did you eat all weak? I pretty much at salad every day. lame.

Ryan, I'm not sure if there is any soy product, but I'll check next time I'm at work.

Yeah I ate a LOT of salad... but also brought gf snacks in anticipation of that happening. It will be a similar situation for fpo - make sure to bring goodies :) Also, I saw on our bus rides there is a Whole Foods store relatively close by. You should be able to stock up on gf stuff there too!
