National Cupcake Day...Gluten-Free
I love cupcakes...I love them so much mainly because they make me feel happy and remind me of so
many good times being a kid! I love cupcakes that have a super moist cake and are topped with a mound of frosting that is sweet...but not too sweet! It has to be just that perfect amount of sweetness that makes you want more and more and more!
Since I love cupcakes so much, I had to find a way to incorporate cupcakes into my job at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness. So, the NFCA teamed up with Pamela's Products to host Gluten-Free Cupcake Parties to raise awareness of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. Over the last year, nearly 100 fabulous volunteers have hosted cupcake parties and helped the NFCA raise thousands of dollars to put towards educational programs for doctors and pharmacists.
Now it's your turn!
October 18th is National Cupcake Day!! Join in the fun by hosting your very own Gluten-Free Cupcake Party! Not only will you be joining in for a national day of celebration and eating delicious gluten-free
cupcakes, but you'll be helping raise awareness of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.

Step 2: NFCA will contact you to arrange the details of your party and answer all of your questions.
