Baked by Melissa Now Has An Entire Store for Gluten Free Cupcakes
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to eat less gluten, you’re in luck. The uber-popular Baked by Melissa cupcake company that has many locations around the city including one on 7th Avenue between 38th and 39th Street has opened a second location right next door. But it’s completely gluten free.
I checked it out and learned that these are the same mini (and I do mean mini) cupcakes that are available next store, but these are made with tapioca and brown rice flour. The price is still an absurd $1 per cupcake – but I will say I’m pleasantly surprised the price hasn’t changed since Blondie reviewed them in 2010 and that they’re not charging more for the gluten free versions. But still, a $1 per mini cupcake (they’re ths size of a quarter) is ridiculous!
I did take one for the team and ordered a few. They were fine – nothing special, but just ok. I’ve had other gluten free treats that have been much better. These are a bit on the dry side, but considering the bite is gone in a second, nothing was too offensive – except the price.
I really only recommend these if gluten will kill you and you absolutely have to have cute little button-sized cupcakes. Otherwise, find your cupcake fix somewhere else.

Why would anyone make a resolution to eat less gluten? Either you’re sensitive to it and you avoid it, or else you may as well eat all you want. ‘Gluten-free’ isn’t healthier food; it just leaves out an ingredient that some people have an adverse reaction to.

Well I, for one, am THRILLED at the existence of places like this. I have a child with celiac, and he has to pass on 99.99% of every baked goody he sees. I’m happy (well, not happy, but willing) to pay a buck a piece for these, because they’re delicious, and they make my boy smile.
Seems like a waste of space (money).
