The Flying Cupcake Bakery
Celiac Safety Score
The Flying Cupcake Bakery offers a tempting range of gluten-free cupcakes and cakes, but here's the thing—while the flavors sound dreamy, everything is made in a shared kitchen with gluten. Their own allergen disclaimer couldn't be clearer: cross-contamination is possible, and they can't guarantee safety for celiac diners. So if you're managing celiac disease or are highly sensitive, it's honestly a bit nerve-wracking—you'll want to weigh that risk before getting swept up in the bakery's sweet charm. For folks who are gluten-sensitive but less reactive to trace amounts, there’s a decent variety of options, but absolute peace of mind? Not on the menu here.
