Say goodbye to...Starbucks valencia orange cake.

As quickly as it came, it is now gone :( Although I never did get to try it over here in Seoul, this is sad news for the gluten free Starbucks community. The gluten free moist valencia orange cake that came out in spring, is no longer available at Starbucks. On Twitter, Starbucks said, "We heard that it was too much of a treat, and not a nutritious snack. The @KindSnacks bar is replacing it." Fruit and nut bars definitely don't go with coffee like a moist scrumptious cake does. Not happy with this? Tell Starbucks what you think about this! After all, it was your voice that got us this cake in the first place, right?! Until then, if you feel a craving for this delicious treat and have time on your hands, make your very own valencia orange cake.

For those of you loyal readers, you'll notice I'm not posting a recipe like I normally do on Fridays. This Starbucks news is well in need of being circulated for the celiac community ;)

Say hello to...Starbucks valencia orange cake.

I could hardly believe that Starbucks wanted to make a gluten-free pastry. And now, it has finally happened and everyone's raving about it! Unfortunately I won't be able to try the valencia orange cake for another year (I'll still be in Seoul), but perhaps they'll have even more pastries to offer later! And maybe by then it will arrive at the Starbucks' in Canada :) Until then, those of you not from America can try making your own.
