  1. My favorite gluten-free recipes are the ones where I don't know the difference. Usually, I do. I'll be passing this along to my friend who does gluten-free. She has found your site very helpful in this regard.

  2. Love carrot cake and it would be delicious with Candy Cane Lane tea. Good thing I found some or I would think you were teasing me. I do believe I recognize where that photo was taken. How fun! Was it at Butchart Gardens tearoom?
