| Where can I buy a gluten free, organic cake or cupcake for my one year old's birthday? I really don't want to make one myself, but i might have to. Can someone recommend a place to buy something like this? |

Try CakeLove or Whole Foods. Sticky Fingers in Columbia Heights also makes awesome gluten-free cupcakes, but I don't know if they're organic. |

| Buzz has good GF cupcakes in chocolate or vanilla, although they all may have almonds on top (you could call ahead). Hello Cupcake also has GF - they say they have a different flavor each day, but whenever I've been there its chocolate or vanilla. Georgetown Cupcakes supposedly has a GF flavor each day. Baked & Wired has chocolate-strawberry GF cupcakes. Also CakeLove (chocolate or vanilla I think is all they have) and Sticky Fingers. I don't know if any of these are organic though. |

| I've been impressed with King Arthur gluten free mixes too. I had a GF cupcake at Sticky Fingers this morning and I was not impressed. The ones from Red Velvet are much, much nicer. I don't think they're organic, but they're made from high quality ingredients. |

This brand is sold at moms (my organic market) and Lilith cafe in Bethesda:

We ordered one of these cupcakes at Lilit and it was very dry and hard. I don't know how old it was, though. Perhaps it is better if purchased directly from the bakery. I had been willing to trek up to Baltimore to go to the bakery b/c it sounded great. But I didn't go after I tasted the cupcake at Lilit. My kids like the Pamela's yellow cake mix (can be used for cupcakes too). Passover sponge cake (made with potato starch) has also been a big hit. |

| I know you said you don't want to bake, but if you decide to give it a shot, I recommend http://www.thenuttygarbanzo.com/. She's got some great gluten free recipes that are pretty easy to work with. |
