Help! I am getting married June 3rd and I need a cake. I only need a small one (just for me so my husband and get it all over my face) I havn't made any gluten-free cakes, does anyone know of pre-packaged kinds that are good or any good recipes out there? Thanks a million! :D

Jeebus, that's soon!

I haven't made or had any, but I think the Whole Foods gluten-free Bakehouse has a chocolate cake, and several breakfast breads.

If you go the mix route, DO NOT MAKE IT YOURSELF!!!!

The last thing you need is the stress of a stressful cake. I was up till 2am the night before my wedding doing my flowers :rolleyes:

Not my best idea.

ooo ooo!!!

i have a great recipe and i just posted this 2 seconds ago on another thread, but here it is again.

"YUMMY CARROT CAKE"

one bag of Gluten-Free Pantry spice cake mix

1 jar carrot baby food

some shredded carrots

1 cup applesauce

1/3 cup oil

mix all togther and bake 20-25 minutes.

frost with Pilsbury cream cheese frosting

i make it this way beacuse i am vegan, but there is a recipe on the bag that has eggs and milk.

im getting married in june as well and using this recipe for us for "our" cake , but making it as cupcakes beacuse we have about 12 guests that are vegan and about 4 that are gluten-free.

and im just going to use food coloring to color the cream cheese frosting to match the color of our wedding and use one of those new cupcake towers and it will be right next to the "real" cake!

i make this cake alot whenever we go somewhere and need to bring a dessert and no one ever knows its gluten-free or VEGAN!!

hope it helps or gives you some ideas!!

I really like the namaste cake mixes. I get them at whole foods! I add a little cup of yogurt (per someone elses advice)! The are really good and I even had a small party for my kids, and served them as cupcakes.... the kids gobbled them up and so did the parents!

I didn't like the Namaste Cakes... neither did my kid.

we've had really good luck with The Gluten Free Pantry's Old Fashioned Cake and Cookie Mix, and Pamela's Deluxe Chocolate Brownie Mix (there is a recipe on the bag to make it into a cake) Every time I've served the Pamela's cake, I get loads of compliments and people can't believe it's gluten free.

What I suggest is try a bunch of different cake recipes BEFORE your wedding, and decide which one you like the best, then see if you can't get a friend or professional cake maker to make it for you (providing they use all gluten-free ingredients and clean utensils and pans and have a work environment free from risk of cross contamination)

It may be easier for you to make the cake well ahead of time and freeze it, then just have it thawed out and decorated for the wedding. Do you know someone that could decorate it for you?

I make my own frosting most of the time, but I believe I've also used Pillsbury Frostings, most of them are gluten-free, read the labels though.

I recently remarried and the wedding "cake" that we shared was ALL frosting!!!! Two good friends made the wedding cake for the glutened crowd and I had my dream cake.....all frosting. I have never liked cake except carrot cake, and have really only liked the frosting so for me this was a dream come true....my very own "frosting cake".

Wow, that gives me a cavity, headache, and stomach ache all at the same time! :D

Of course, all I remember about my wedding cake is the frosting, so maybe it's not a bad idea ;)

How about looking into gluten free bakeries that can ship a cake to you? There is one in NY called Happy Happy Happy, and in Philadelphia there is Mr. Ritts. I think they both have websites but I don't have the links at my fingertips.

I'm getting married in August and I'll be making a cake for myself. Kinnikinick makes a gluten free cake mix.

I read in a magazine where a lady who was getting married gave several bags of a mix called yellow moist cake from "Cause your Special" and her baker made her entire wedding cake gluten free. All of the guest enjoyed the cake. I have used this mix before and think it's wonderful. Congratulations!

By the way.. Cause your special is either out of Wisconsin or Chicago.

Wow--that's a great idea! A professional looking gluten free cake, even if there's no gluten-free bakery in town.

Carrie--I hope to be able to see pictures of your wedding and the cake :)

I just made a Namaste chocolate cake for my sons birthday, and it was great!!!!!!1 Everyone said so, and they usually are quite judgemental of gluten free. It raised up nicely like a wheat flour cake, was very moist. (I used olive oil, instead of vegtable.)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
