Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake Bites
You’ve seen them at coffee shops, and probably ordered them for your kid’s birthday but have you ever tried to make cake bites before? It’s actually a lot simpler than you would think.
Cake bites are perfect for celebrations, you get all the goodness of cake without the waste. I can’t tell you how many times someone in my family has purchased a cake for a birthday or celebration and half of it went to waste. In a world where we are all trying to be more conscious about our waste and careful with how we’re spending, cake bites can be the perfect treat to try out yourself.
You can get the full recipe below but before you get started here are some of my quick tips.
• Don’t be afraid to get creative with white chocolate and food coloring, sprinkle choices, or even your cake mix
• Boxed Cake vs. Scratch – Both are great. If you love to bake you may opt for baking a cake from scratch, if you’re short on time pick up your favorite boxed cake no one has to know!
• Toothpicks, Popsicle Sticks, and Straws – all very helpful when trying to dip your cake bites in chocolate coating and easy for those enjoying your finished product to grab and go!
