Many restaurants and cake shops now have a range of delicious options that are gluten-free. Here are some that are sure to get the taste buds dancing.
The Cakery in the Landmark Atrium offers a range of cakes that are gluten-free, including Hidden Gem, made with sesame and garnished with chocolate flowers and pearl candies; Sunset, made with mango and topped with mango curd; Aloha, a layered sponge cake with pineapple slices and covered with meringue and chocolate leaves; and Baby Moon, made with rose lychee and raspberry mousse and tiramisu. Their smoothie bowls are also gluten-free. Packed with superfoods, there are four flavours to choose from. We like the Blue Ocean, with blueberries, blue spirulina, bananas, coconut milk and topped with coconut flakes, honey, chia seed, almond and lavender.
