My RAD Life

I experimented in gluten-free, dairy-free cupcakes the other night to surprise my coworker for her birthday. The results were not what I expected (they’re definitely not the red velvet cupcakes the name promises), but were pretty good in their own way. And they were a hit at the office. 🙂

I did this recipe for the cupcakes, but subbed brown sugar for the coconut sugar:

Then I did this for the frosting, which was good, but definitely not as sweet as traditional frosting and a little difficult to spread – it came out a little crumbly.

Let me know what you think, or if you have your own recipes for gluten-free, dairy-free desserts, I’d love to hear them!
