Hi, I am Megan and I am 7. Amalie (who is 4) is my little sister. We got invited to judge the kid’s section of the FreeFrom Food Awards on the 18th January 2020. We were asked because we are coeliac what means we are gluten free and Amalie is also dairy free so we are free from. It was in Reading at Christine Bailey’s house which was a long way to go but I was really excited to go, so we went.

On the way there I stopped by one of our friend’s houses for the night. While we were there I gave myself a carpet burn. We also had our first McDonald’s.

These are unicorn cupcakes. They’re my favourite out of everything I tried. There was a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing and sprinkles or lemon cupcake with strawberry icing and a unicorn head. Really pretty decorations. I scored them a 10. I loved them, they were great and the icing was good too!

There was also a caterpillar cake, caramel egg and truffles and gummy bears which were all yummy.

Amalie loved all of the sweet stuff like chocolate and cake. She loves chocolate and loves it when we get cake that she can eat. Amalie nearly put 10 down for everything she tried.

Amalie really liked the rice crispies because they had a different taste. We both loved the banana wrap, and it had syrup dribbled all over it.

I did not like this drink because it is a soy drink and I am not a big fan of soya, so I did not like it at all.

I really liked the carob and orange things. I liked them so much that I had about five of them. The mozzarella sticks were really good, but Amalie couldn’t eat them because they have milk in. We both really liked the goujons.

We couldn’t eat the gingerbread man because it has oats in but we could still have the icing. On the way home we had another McDonald’s and Amalie put icing on her sandwich LOOK! It was very funny.
