Many people think living gluten free means they can no longer enjoy desserts. This is not true. These days, there are many delicious dessert mixes, and create your own flour mixes to create the perfect gluten and allergy free desert.

​

Some cooks choose to buy and mix flours on their own. This requires a lot of chemistry cooking knowledge. There are many websites, and cookbooks with step by step instructions. If you have the time, money, and energy you can learn about the flours used in place of wheat, and make your own mixes.

​

People with low dexterity often feel like they must buy pre-made desserts rather than make their own, or wait on someone to mix and cook it for them. This isn't necessary, either. While some people like to use all kinds of mixers and other electrical tools, many with dexterity problems recognize the additional energy, and time, needed to clean those tools. However, there are ways to make most desserts healthy and accessible, even to those with limited dexterity.

 

Many people with low vision, or newly blind, feel overwhelmed at the thought of making a dessert. They may be afraid of cutting themselves with a knife, and hurting themselves, or someone else with a tool. And what happens if a mixer blade falls into the cake mix and no one notices until they take a bite? Again, these issues can be overcome. Baking doesn't have to be ultra messy, or dangerous.

 

Desserts can be fun again!
