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.)

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
