If you haven't checked out the Dufflet line of certified gluten-free desserts, you can find a list of them on our main website. One thing to keep in mind when shopping for gluten-free products is that there is a difference between certified gluten-free, and items made without gluten in the recipe.
Certification from the Canadian Celiac Association and the right to display the official logo on the product, is a process that includes testing, licensing and renewal. Dufflet products that bear the CCA logo have passed and continue to pass these tests, and these items are always sold in their sealed packaging to maintain their official gluten-free status. Items sold not in their packaging may become contaminated by gluten in the environment.
Dufflet Pastries also makes a wide variety of desserts that don't have wheat or gluten in the recipe for those who are simply cutting down on their gluten intake (and are not seriously allergic to gluten). These items are marked with a "made without gluten" symbol on our website under Fresh Collection (for example, our Baby Truffle mini cake or our Dacquoise cakes and mini cakes)
All three Dufflet locations have certified gluten-free cupcakes in Devil's Food and Vanilla for $9.00 for a sealed 4-pack of a single flavour.
You can also find them in the freezer section at your favourite local food emporium (I love that word) if traveling to one of our cafes is not convenient.

Dufflet-Beach (1917 Queen Street East) and neighbour Ella Minnow Children's Bookstore have teamed up to create a beautiful and awesome entry for the Beach BIA Sidewalk Chalk Contest.
Dufflet staffer Kylee created the art (with input from Ella Minnow's Yvette) because what could possibly be sweeter on the beach than delish snacks from Dufflet and cool reads from Ellaminnow?
If you're walking along Queen Street East, look down for more creations from area shops east of Woodbine.
Beach BIA reps will be judging the contestants tomorrow at noon, so wish us luck!

Dufflet Pastries has been a proud sponsor of the Pride and Remembrance Run in Toronto for many years. We've uploaded some pix of our table, manned by Bobby and Nedra, where runners were treated to cherry peach upside down cakes, brownies, chocolate banana cake and cupcakes.
Check out our photos up on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/tourdedufflet/sets/72157634453496124/
Congrats to http://priderun.org/ organizers and to the runners and walkers who helped raise funds for local LGBT charities.

Dufflet celebrates Toronto Pride with a special offer exclusively at our Downtown location (787 Queen Street West). From June 22 - 30 you can save $2 off a 9” or $1 off a 6” Pink Velvet Cake.
Red Velvet cakes are famous for being ... well, famous!
Earliest recipes originate from the southern U.S. and use everything from beet juice to artificial food dyes to enhance their ruddy hue under a blanket of white frosting.
Dufflet reinvents this come-back classic via natural food chemistry (cocoa, cinnamon and buttermilk) to create her magical Pink Velvet Cake.
Moist sheets of spicy, cocoa enriched cake are layered with a sweet cream cheese icing that is naturally tinted pink - no artificial colours, no preservatives!
Dufflet Pastries is also an annual sponsor at the Pride and Remembrance Run, Saturday June 29th. For more info, please check their website at priderun.org
