If you’ve got a little one who’s allergic or sensitive to gluten, you know what a landmine birthday parties can be. Make sure your sweet pea doesn’t have to settle for ice cream alone by ordering a gluten-free birthday cake (or simply picking up a cupcake to bring along to another party) from one of these local bakeries. photo: Mike KaneFlying Apron Among the cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones and pies—all gluten-free, all vegan, all made with natural sweeteners—in the display case every day, this bakery with locations in Fremont and Redmond also offers tall slices of Southern-style layer cakes, perfect to pick up as a single piece to take to a gluten-full gathering. Need to go big? If you call or go when they open at 7:30 a.m., you can generally grab one of the day’s few pre-made cakes; otherwise, custom cakes and cupcakes can be ordered with 72 hours notice. Sizes start at 6” and go all the way up to 16” and quarter-sheet cakes.3510 Fremont Ave. N. Seattle, Wa 98103 206-442-1115 Hours: Daily, 7:30 a.m.-8 p.m16541 Redmond Way, Ste.
