We walked to Starbucks and I was so happy to see that they still had two when I arrived! See the joy on my face...
My son just wants his drink!
Then it was time for the moment of truth, could Starbucks create a fabulous gluten free dessert?
YES! A BIG YES!!! It was moist, and spongy. It reminded me of the orange version of the lemon pound cake that I loved in my pre-gluten free days! I was in gluten free heaven! The glutton in me was satisfied! Oh Starbucks you won me over, I was skeptical.
ADDITIONAL THINGS I LIKED:
It came prepackaged and it was not in the same case! So I felt like cross contamination was not something to worry about. I also liked that the ingredients and the nutritional information was listed on the packaging!
Normally when we walk, I wear different shoes. I should stick to routine because I got massive blisters that bled. This was so worth it!

Saw your post RT on Twitter. That cake looks DELICIOUS!!!
I would of LOVED to get it for my son (on a GFCFPF diet plus a few other things "Free of") but he cannot have citrus foods or flavorings so this cake was out.
Here's to hoping that their next foray into GF is CHOCOLATE!! ;)
Sorry about the blisters... THAT looked painful - OUCHIE! Glad you enjoyed your treat though!
Jenn:
Isn't Twitter great?!!!?
A chocolate version of this would be amazing! The dessert also has nuts on it which also rules it out for a lot of consumers, so chocolate without nuts would be a great option!
Yeah, the blisters are killing me today!
Thanks so much for reading the review!
I'm so excited they are jumping on the gluten free bandwagon! mmm the cake was delish!
Katie,
I hope others follow suit! Until then, I am happy to eat these at Starbucks!
Yes, this cake was better than expected! I liked the spongy texture too.
Gina,
That is my favorite part! It is almost like it isnt GF! The texture makes it passable as non-gf!
