Review of Cake Gypsy

True coeliacs beware! Yes, Cake Gypsy may offer gluten free cupcakes....good for them...but do you know why you may still not be feeling well after eating them? It is the frosting....you can't buy a cupcake without frosting....and they use the same bag of frosting on your GF treats as they do on the regular baked goods. Yes, according to the staff "but we wipe off the tip"....apparently they don't realize how very little it takes for cross contamination to impact you. According to the Food and Drug Admin Gluten Free means the item must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Do you know what that means? Wiping off the tip, when crumbs from a prior cupcake may be inside the tip means you may be consuming enough to get that auto-immune response going. As one of my family members noted "now I understand why I still feel crappy after eating these". Cake Gypsy, you can do better. Either a) allow people who need to be absolutely GF to buy their treats without frosting (not everyone even LIKES frosting), or b) keep a dedicated bag of frosting on hand....but definitely c) make sure your staff gets trained up a bit more on what needing to be GF really means to your customers, and the impact if your goods are not.
