I'm getting married in a year. I've been diagnosed celiac for 2 years. My mom believes she is going to have to make the top layer of my cake for us to eat (she's celiac too), but isn't the top supposed to be the bride and grooms? Are there caterer's who can do a gluten free cake? If so, is it unbelievably expensive?

Yes, there are caterers who will make gluten free cake for you. You may have to call around and see but I know you can get a gluten free cake. I'm not sure of the price.

Hey Laura,
I know exactly the situation you are in. I am getting married in less than 3 months (although diagnosed recently and was so sad when I realized I wouldn't be able to eat most of the food that I had been dreaming about for months). Try speaking to your maitre d' about making the top layer of the cake a gluten-free cheesecake or something. That is what they are doing for me. Traditionally the top of the cake is for the bride & groom to save however I plan on serving part to my brother and cousin (also recently diagnosed). No biggie if I don't have the cake to bring home.

I have been making gluten free cakes with a passover sponge cake recipe (on the Maneschevitz box) and chocolate mousse layers. It would be perfect for a wedding cake, or you could go with a cheese cake. You should not be overcharged for a gluten free cake.

This is your wedding so cater to YOUR needs!!! There are many companies that will bake and ship the cake to you. Then you could hire someone to decorate the cake right there where you live. Another suggestion is to make your cake gluten-free, go as fancy as you want but on a smaller scale. Then you can for everyone else go for a slab cake which would be ALOT cheaper and would save some money. I have seen this done a a wedding of a girl I knew who is Celiac. She was able to make her cake real fancy, then had the huge huge slab cake for everyone else.
In this day and age I think it is important to add a line on the bottom of the R.S.V.P. card asking if there is any special dietary needs required. All too often people are invited to a wedding and they are not able to eat because of dietary restrictions. As a result they do not enjoy themselves at the wedding because they are hungry or they have to leave for a while to get something they can eat. Most catering companies are more than happy to accomadate any special dietary needs. After all we should know what it feels like to attend at wedding or any event that calls for a dinner and not be able to eat anything but the salad.
I hope my suggestions are of some help to you. May you wedding be showered with many blessings from heaven above. I wish you a long and happy marriage!!
