can I use regular baking flour instead of gluten free flour? I don’t have any gluten intolerance so don’t want to spend extra on gluten free flour.

Also can I use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar and butter or vegetable oil instead of coconut oil . I am new to baking so don’t want to spend so much on stuff I may not use later.

Too many questions: Which brand’s food colour would you recommend? Could we add that yellow w a hint of powdered or kachi haldi? How could this made non-gluten, replacements for coconut oil, sugar?
