At first I was a little nervous about taste testing cakes that were not from a dedicated gluten-free bakery but with some direct questions and solid answers, I went for it. I was assured that the equipment was thoroughly cleaned before baking any gluten-free items. So far I have not been glutened and have only experienced several sugar rushes.
Sensitive Sweets is the only local 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery. Their philosophy is :
"Sensitive Sweets is a dedicated Gluten-free and Nut-free BAKERY. We specialize in custom cakes and desserts for those who have food sensitivities or dietary restrictions. Wheat (gluten)free, dairy (casein) free, egg free, soy free and nut free custom cakes, cookies, muffins, cupcakes and breads...just let us know what you need. We truly believe that EVERYONE deserves a treat!"

"Sweet and Saucy" uses coconut flour as the main ingredient in the cakes. Their toppings are distinct yet a little sweeter than I prefer.
It's All About the Cake in Dana Point is also a specialty bakery. Their cake tasting was very unique. They brought a delicious tray filled with cubes of red velvet cake, chocolate cake and vanilla cake. In addition there was dabs of butter cream, whipped cream, fudge, chocolate mouse, lemon curd etc. Then our host careful prepared each bite so we could experience the perfect bite.

The cakes at "It's All About the Cake" are by far the best gluten-free cakes I have tasted. The texture is delicate and light and the flavors are elegant. They seem to understand the needs of people eating gluten-free. They brought out 2 separate trays and had us sample the gluten-free first. Then those that wanted to try the gluten-filled cakes could do so.
You can now enjoy the cake and the taste testing experience whether you are gluten-free or not.
