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 Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
