Gluten-Free Miniature Desserts: Tarts, Mini Pies, Cake Pops, and More - Tapa blanda

The only thing better than traditional dessert is an adorably small dessert you can pick up with your fingers and devour in a few sumptuous bites. Cake pops, mini pies, and tiny tarts are everyone's favorite new treats, and it's no wonder-they're cute, they're fun, and they're small enough that you can sample one of each at a party!

For the growing population with gluten allergies or sensitivity, dessert is tricky territory. Gehring, who has been gluten-free for three years, has experienced many of the pitfalls of gluten-free cooking and baking so you don't have to! She and her husband, Lawrence, have developed more than sixty recipes you'll have fun making and feel great eating.
