Cake and Coffee

Word on the street is that Starbucks will soon be offering GF cake.  Rumor has it that it is an Orange Valentia Cake with Almonds. Not sure how I feel about that – I don’t like orange anything. The people in my life can attest to this. If you want to make me squirm, squeal and run out the room in terror – place a Terry’s Chocolate Orange within 100 meters of me. WRONG.

Anyhow, according to the rumor, these GF cakes will be kept in the pastry case and will be labeled Gluten Free. Um, here’s one issue I might be a little leery of – cross contamination. Having the GF cake amongst all the other flaky pastries, the serving utensils not being cleaned and used on everything. Just something to think about.

So where did I hear this rumor? At Gluten Free Living.

No word yet on when the Canadian launch of this cake will be. But at the rate Starbucks moves, I bet it won’t be long.

More Glutastic!

    I wouldn’t exactly call this a “rumor”. The post on Gluten-Free living has a link to the official Starbucks “Ideas in Action” blog, which confirms that this gluten-free cake is coming (although they don’t specifically talk about Canada).

    As for the fear of cross-contamination, there’s no need to worry. As the Starbucks site states: “A single cake will be displayed unwrapped so you can see it clearly, but don’t worry. They all come individually packaged to prevent cross contamination.”

    Starbucks already took the cake off the counter due to low sales.
