Organizing an inclusive end-of-school party is easier than you think: with the right ingredients and a few tricks, you can prepare gluten-free desserts and snacks that all the children will love, allowing everyone to participate in the party without worries.

June is the month of end-of-year school celebrations, a time of joy and sharing that deserves to be celebrated with all classmates. When there are children with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity in the class, it becomes essential to think of a buffet that is safe and inclusive, where every child can serve themselves freely without fear.

Why an inclusive buffet is important

Children with celiac disease often feel "different" during the holidays, forced to bring their own food from home or to give up the sweets that everyone else is enjoying. An inclusive buffet eliminates this barrier and allows everyone to fully experience the moment of celebration, with a positive impact not only on the child with celiac disease but on the entire class group that learns the value of inclusion.

Ideas for an irresistible gluten-free buffet

Sweets to share

• New Year's Eve Cake : Using gluten-free flours available in our store, you can prepare a soft margherita cake that will make everyone happy. Decorate it with colored icing or sugar paste to make it festive.
• Personalized Muffins : Muffins are perfect for children's parties because they are already portioned and easy to serve. You can decorate them with school themes using sugar paste or colored icing.
• Themed Cookies : Making cookies in the shape of a book, pencil or alphabet letter is a fun and thematic idea. With our gluten-free flour mixes you will get crumbly and tasty cookies.

Savoury snacks for all tastes

• Mini pizzas : Made with gluten-free flour and topped with simple ingredients such as tomato and mozzarella.
• Snacks and appetizers : Even in their gluten-free version, classic snacks remain a must for every party.
• Colorful Sandwiches : Using gluten-free bread, you can prepare small sandwiches with various fillings, to be cut into fun shapes.

Practical organization

Prevent contamination

If you prepare both gluten-containing and gluten-free foods, it is essential to avoid cross-contamination:

• Use separate utensils for preparation
• Prepare gluten-free foods first
• Clean work surfaces thoroughly
• Clearly label gluten-free dishes

Clear communication

Inform other parents and teachers that there will be gluten-free options at the buffet so they can explain this to the children. For clarity, you can prepare small signs to place next to the dishes, indicating "Gluten-Free" or using easily recognizable symbols.
