Despite the growing trend towards gluten-free dishes in New York, it's far from easy to find a great gluten-free sweet.

It takes bakers who know what they're doing to produce moist, flavorful desserts that are just as good as their AP flour-filled counterparts.

We scoured the city to find gluten-free sweets that taste good enough to be enjoyed by everyone, not just those on a gluten-free diet.
