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.)

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
