Gluten Free Birthday Cake!

This was a favorite dessert before we went gluten free. One of our goals was to figure out how to get this delicious dessert in a gluten free version! We discovered that Sun Flour Mills Pumpkin cake mix was perfect to exchange the pumpkin that you add to the mix with applesauce!

It worked out so well! This year my daughter asked for GF Applesauce Spice Cake for her birthday cake. Cream cheese frosting pairs perfectly with the applesauce spice flavors! We got so excited to eat the cake, I almost missed getting pictures of it before it was gone!
