Gluten Free Wedding Cake in SoCal!

So, I've been scouring the web in search of gluten free wedding cake vendors in Southern California, and with the help of friends and fellow foodie bloggers, I've found a handful of extremely talented cake vendors capable of making gluten-free wedding cakes! 

Here's the shortlist:

1. Enjoy Cupcakes!- Amber made me the most delectable cupcakes this summer, and I'd love to use her for a cupcake topping bar. 
2. Helena Wirth Cakes- Has beautiful cake designs and amazing reviews from clients. 
3. Rossmoor Bakery/ Sensitive Baker- The Sensitive Baker and Rossmoor Bakery have recently announced a wedding cake collaboration!  Sensitive baker specializes in kosher, dairy free and gluten free baked goods, while Rossmoor specializes in beautifully decorated confections... match made in heaven.  I ordered my birthday cake from the Sensitive Baker this year, and it was absolutely fabulous.  
4. A Sweet Design- Recommended by my caterer, this bakery also has beautiful cake designs and great reviews from clients!

Macau Almond Cookies- Gluten Free for Camp Blogaway!

This weekend, B w/ Corque Blog and I went to Camp Blogaway for a meeting of the minds with about 60 fellow food bloggers in LA!  It was the first event of it's kind that I had gone to, so it was really exciting for me to participate and meet like minded foodies from all around LA, and to listen to advice from some seasoned bloggers.

Anyway, we were asked to bring a Potluck dish for a Competition at the event.  Betty and thought long and hard about the possibilities.  We wanted to do something "different" and gluten free (of course).  We thought that it would be great to bring something that would showcase our Chinese culture... something that others may never have tried before.  So, we decided to bring Macanese Almond Cookies 杏仁餅 (xing ren bing)!  Our favorite ones growing up were from Pastelaria Koi Kei in Macau.  In fact, when our parents go to Hong Kong and Macau each year, this is still our most often requested gift.
