pillsbury making birthdays fun again with their gluten-free line — and I found it at wal-mart #MixUpAMoment #ad

Pillsbury disclaimer
Birthdays are such a special and such a fine time. The gifts, the treats the food and the presence of those surrounding you with their love. However, for those that suffer with a gluten allergy, birthdays can be a time of stress. As a parent, if a child has a gluten allergy, that SURE changes up the cupcakes and birthday cake, now doesn’t it?

how to make an easy and delicious gluten free cake

I was recently told about something that Pillsbury has, and I was able to find this at my local Wal-Mart store. Did you know that Pillsbury has a line exclusively for those that shop for gluten free items? Can all the parents with a child (or themselves!) that have a gluten allergy give an AMEN?!?! Yes, I thought so! And unfortunately, this is getting to be more and more common these days. Let’s discuss a solution to the birthday party treat dilemma!

Pillsbury Gluten-Free CakePillsbury Gluten-Free CakeWe went to Wal-Mart and picked up a box of each of their items in the gluten-free category. I mean, we were there picking up some essentials anyways, and we were going to be baking a cake too, so why not just get ‘er done! Stocked up on all of it! Curiosity got the best of us and, that night my soon-to-be 10 year old and I baked up her birthday cake! We were THAT anxious to try it out.

With all the dietary sensitivities these days, I don’t know WHY we wouldn’t just buy the gluten free cake mixes from now on anyways. I mean, in my eyes, less is more when it comes to ingredients, and that’s exactly what the Pillsbury Gluten Free Premium Cake Mixes are!

And you guys, they are not expensive either! Very price conscious.

We decorated the cake with gluten-free frosting. Did you know that all Pillsbury frostings are ALL gluten free? Winning! In addition, she wanted a simple sprinkle too, because all kids like sprinkles…even almost 10 year olds. 🙂

And last but not least, who is busy? I mean…we all are! Making a cake doesn’t have to take all day. With everyone’s busy schedule, you all will have the time to whip up an easy, gluten-free birthday cake in an afternoon…frosting, decorations and all!

    My daughter isn’t gluten free but I love that these options are more available since with birthday parties coming up it could be that we need to have a gluten free cake so everyone can have cake 🙂

    Oh I am so thankful for companies like Pillsbury for making gluten free options! I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 10 years ago now. Options have come so far and taste to good compared to back then. I LOVE Pillsbury gluten free cakes and cookies! I hope they continue to make more!
