Food Allergy-Friendly Birthday Cupcakes

Sending your child to a birthday party or school celebration with a safe cupcake is part of the food allergy parent drill. Whether you want to pick up or whip up, we’ve got the lists that fit your style and schedule.

Like cupcakes, these lists are meant to be shared. Forward to all the supportive parents and teachers who want your child to be able to enjoy the same treat as everyone else. This product guide was published on 8/17.

Spokin tip: Bake a dozen cupcakes for the first event of the year, freeze the rest, then thaw and frost when needed.
