Oct.4: St. Francis of Assisi


Catholic Cuisine had such an adorable idea for St. Francis' feast day, that I decided to make it even though it does most definitely contain gluten. Those who really can't have any gluten ate left-over rose cupcakes instead (see, there was an advantage in being tardy with St. Therese's feast day!) We made the wolf paw cookies and I read them the story of St. Francis and the wolf.

Catholic Cuisine also has a new idea to honor St. Francis: making a tonsure cake. Betty Crocker has a gluten-free chocolate cake mix that I think would work well for this cake. We haven't tried the new mix yet, but, if it is as good as the yellow cake mix, it will be delicious!
