I'm lucky that my husband and I are both GF by necessity - makes it easier when you don't have to watch someone else eating all the things you can't anymore. I think the way that you "make it better" is a very good idea! I do very much miss the sensation of sinking my teeth into a soft, warm Krispy Kreme, but hey, you get used to your donuts being a bit more on the "firm" side :) i also prefer the taste of the GF pizza bases we use (Canadian company, http://www.kinnikinnick.ca/ - they ship!). For interest's sake - spelt is a form of wheat, so it's also a no-go. Most of the usual "natural" alternatives are part of the wheat-family, or are part of the Big 4 (wheat, rye, barley, oats) that celiacs have to avoid. It's not always easy, but it's worth it!

I'm a celiac too. Donuts... sigh! But the thing I *REALLY* miss above all else? Flaky pie crust. Still, better than killing all those poor little intestinal cilli - this donut is cute cute cute!

AND to see a crafted textile donut is even more wonderful. What a great gift and how romantic! To me the most beautiful thing about a donut is the way it looks!!

Sorry about the gluten thing. I hope you can find alternatives that work for you. That donut is great! Totally off topic, can you tell me about the fabric in your photos? I just used my small stash of it (http://disdressed.blogspot.com/2006/05/summer-2006-continued.html) and need to find more but can't remember who makes it or where to get it. Thanks! Ugh.
