Of all the desserts I’ve tasted I’ve never actually explored wheat or gluten free sweets, until this past weekend. I was at the farmer’s market on an empty stomach so naturally baked goods were all the more appealing. That is when I discovered FlourChylde, a bakery based in Marin County. Aside from their beautiful occasion cakes, they bring treats to farmers markets around the Bay Area.
Vanilla Bean Cake with Raspberries- I had a sample of this and was hooked. It was incredibly moist and fluffy, a really fine crumb, which must come from the type of flour used. The sweetness from the vanilla bean was a nice contrast to the raspberries.
Lemon Macaroon- I couldn’t resist and was curious as to how this would be like a macaroon. Sure enough it tasted every bit like a macaroon but in my opinion, better because it was in cake form. It was delicate and light. I could have used a little more tang from the lemon.
