Excellent mix! I use this mix for all of my baking, but I substitute the brown rice flour with white rice flour. I find that the baking is less grainy and lighter with the white rice flour. Most of my gluten eating family were pleasantly surprised by how "normal" the food tastes with this mix! Thanks for the recipe :)

The brown rice was too heavy for the white birthday cake recipe we used. Only the experienced gluten free people that generally avoid sugar liked the cake. I'm sure it would be great for snack cakes, chocolate etc just not anything you want to be light and airy.

My son has multiple food allergies so this was a great find!
