Most popular story: gluten-free tasty cakes?????

GlutenFree.jpgI couldn't believe it when I looked at the Most Popular Stories Right Now list on the Sun's home page just now and No. 1 was "Gluten-Free Tasty Cakes."

I mean, we have stories on the blizzard of 2010, the next blizzard of 2010 and the most exciting Super Bowl in recent memory, and you're telling me Gluten-Free Tasty Cakes is the most-read story?

Nothing against gluten-free products, mind you.

Maybe people thought the story was about TastyKakes.

I think I'll go back to bed.

Elizabeth, It was a great story (and quoted my wife, too).

Due to the lack of posts, I'm assuming that Gluten Nation is full of lurkers.

That would be the Gluten-Free Nation, RoCK. Having had to eat gluten-free (and worse) for a couple years, it is difficult. They are probably all too busy decyphering food labels to post. It is far more difficult than keeping kosher, without the excuse to own a blowtorch.

I think the "hit" on that story may have come from me. I was intrigued to find that there was an actual STORE full of baked goods that I could actually eat.

The story lured me in but I have to tell you, these cupcakes are nothing short of awesome. As someone with a GF diet, I can tell you it's pretty impossible to find food products that taste "normal" -- especially baked goods. These were amazing and totally worth all the calories.
