Frostings

What mainstream frostings are ok. I heard that Betty Crocker was ok, then it wasn't. The same for Duncan Hines... I know many of you will suggest making my own but I need a solution when that is not possible. I work a lot and if someone else is with my daughter, I would love to be able to tell them as many ready-made things as possible. I keep gluten-free cupcakes in the freezer for schooI parties and I don't always have notice. Its great to be able to grab one from the freezer and frost it in an emergency! It seems like using a ready-made product that is ok will be safer than someone preparing frosting in the non gluten-free kitchen. Thanks!

I have called Duncan Hines and they said their frostings are gluten-free except for any that contain coconut, obvious ingredients like cookies, or their whipped frostings and NO BUTTERCREAM frostings - they come in both the chocolate and vanilla. I stick with the basics from them and have had no problems (except one time when I accidentally got chocolate BUTTERCREAM instead of plain chocolate - duh.

The cookie frosting activities they had for kids at the celiac center for research in Baltimore that we attended last sprinig had Duncan Hines frosting sitting out. I figured if they trusted it, I could give it a try.

It's been awhile but when I last read labels on the cans of frosting they listed wheat starch.

Pillsbury choc or white is gluten-free.... I'm not sure on the other flavors because this is all we use....

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...
