I need to know what is a really good chocolate cake mix ( preferrably, I stink at made from scratch) for my son'd 2 year birthday. And, is Icing OK to use? if so, what kind? Where can I get it, and quickly, LOL...

Thanks!

I think the Gluten Free Pantry mixes are the best. I know Bob's Red Mill has a choc. cake mix but I've never tried it. Duncan Hines HOMESTYLE frosting is gluten free (the other types are not, I believe).

Okay ~ I have to say what I always say... I love Dietary Specialties (they should pay me a % ;) ). Their chocolate cake mix is to die for! There are also a lot of regular, gluten-free icings out there. I don't use icing, but do a search on here and you should get a whole list. :)

If you want an easy, delicious icing, here is the recipe that my mom and I use-

Buttercream Icing

½ cup solid vegetable shortening

½ cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon Vanilla

4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)

2 tablespoons milk

Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.

I always use Pamela's brownie mix to make chocolate cake with, the recipe to make cake is right on the bag, I've served it to my daughter's entire pre k class and NO ONE knew it was gluten free. I served it at her 4th and 5th birthday parties and it was a HUGE hit. Rave reviews. I use Pillsbury frostings. Just read the ingredients because some contain gluten, but most don't. You can also make a really easy butter cream frosting with cocoa, just butter, powdered sugar, cocoa and tsp. milk

I second the pillsbury frosting.

You know, two year olds do well with other treats rather than cake....

Last night, my 11 year old and I made chocolate dipped marshmallows. :P

This is something even your two year old can help you do.

Take marshmallows, dip halfway in melted chocolate.

Place chocolate side UP on wax paper.

Sprinkle coconut on to melted chocolate.

Sprinkle colorful Sprinkles on top of coconut and melted chocolate.

Spear with fun character, or just fun colorful toothpicks. .....

For a birthday, the birthday kid's marshmallows can be speared with candles to mark the age of the birthday kid.

For all the Christmas...excuse me, HOLIDAY parties our school is having this week, we're making these fun, festive colored marshmallows. Last night we used red and green sugar sprinkles on top of the white coconut and it looked great! We saw all sorts of cool sprinkles that would make this a great treat for any occasion. ... Flowers, Scooby Doo, SpongeBob, etc. When we placed all of the marshmallows on a tray, they looked gorgeous and like a giant, colorful cake. I like the non-tradional approach :) ...Ok.. and the NON-BAKING approach! :lol:

I know about the PC! :lol: I used "spirit foam" and spray painted the back window of my van with giant "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" this weekend. I'm so sick of the news reports telling of another *conflict* caused by the words, "Merry Christmas". I'm waiting to be told I can't park on public streets with those two offensive words displayed on the back of my van. :lol:

And about the Marshmallow treats... they look so great- and were easy to make.

and I have to agree that the whole "pc" thing has gone overboard this time! Merry Christmas!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
