Are Macarons Gluten Free?

No wheat flour in the shell. Wheat is still in the kitchen.

By The Cupcake Desire

Macarons on a plate

A macaron shell is almond meal, egg white and sugar. There is no wheat flour in that mixture. That is why people call them gluten-free.

The kitchen matters more than the recipe

Our kitchen also bakes wheat sponges. Made in a shared kitchen that also handles nuts, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and sesame, so not suitable for severe allergies or coeliac disease. For other dietary questions, please contact us before ordering.

The product we label gluten-free is the gluten-free red velvet cupcake, which is a different bake. Do not swap the two in your head.
