Chelsea Clinton’s wedding cake was gluten free. All bread served at the reception was gluten free. Most of the food served was vegan, although there were options for meat-eaters. Chelsea is described as having a “gluten allergy“. I was not able to find out her exact status. The most detailed description of the cake can be found here.

I was so surprised when I read this I decided not to republish the information unless I could confirm it from different sources. Actually, I found dozens of references such as those found in the first paragraph.

It’s great to know that it is possible to prepare a five hundred pound gluten free wedding cake that would be acceptable at a million dollar wedding  I’m glad that the gluten free diet is no longer a “big deal”. The Clinton’s seemed comfortable about having it mentioned in print.
