Birthday Cake With So Many Restrictions Help!


ThoulasMom

Recommended Posts

ThoulasMom Newbie

I am in desperate need of a birthday cake recipe for my daugher. She is only 11 months old (birthday party early!) and has severe lactose intollerance (cannot even have plant based lactose), gluten & wheat intollerance and the usual no-no's for under 1 years old (no eggs, only egg substitute -- I have already used the powder sub no problem there--, no nuts, no chocolate). I am just looking for a simple cake recipe so she can enjoy her birthday with the rest of the kids! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a recipe but I wanted to offer some help. We just made the yellow cake from Cause Your Special cake mixes and liked it. You can order them online. It is gluten/dairy free. I used coconut oil instead of butter and either rice or soy milk instead of milk. I did use real eggs but it says you can use an egg replacement. I used a package frosting mix which did not do well with my margarine so next time I will make frosting from scratch. These cupcakes were good even without frosting.

It doesnt always have to be cake...maybe think creative,

Fruit in a jello mold, pick her favorite fruits and favorite color jello.

An 11 month old doesnt care if its a "cake" just something fun to eat and they can use their hands with jello too :lol:

Just one idea...

Think like a baby - a peeled banana with Happy Birthday written on it with an acceptable icing (one that suits her food requirements)...would be a hit.

Birthdays for kids are supposed ot be enjoyable for mom too - make it easy and enjoy the squeals of delight

Thanks for the hints (unfortunately bananas are a complete no no as well...we're not sure if it's an allergy or not but it wasn't pretty!)! I'm going to look online for that mix.

The cake is more for pictures, I guess. She is our second and what we do for one we have to do for the other...we have great pics of our first at her first birthday eating cake and thought it would be fun to make the second her own special cake!

Sounds fun, hope its a splendid birthday bash.

We were forced to think of other options that are related to sensory issues etc with our daughter and then the diabetes with our son.

Happy birthday to your daughter, I can hear the cameras clicking now!

I never heard of the Cause your special cake mixes - that is so cool!

I have a yummy recipe that is egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free and chocolate-free! It's really a brownie recipe, but I have used it for my, my mom's and my son's birthday cakes. You can substitute cocoa powder for the carob, but we like the carob the best. I double it for a 9 x 13 pan.

Carob Brownie Cake

1 C Br. Rice flour

1/8 tsp. xanthan gum

1 Tbs. Egg Replacer

1/2 C Carob Powder

1-1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

Sift all dry ingredients 2-3 times. Then add:

3/4 C Real Maple Syrup

1/3 C Oil (Melted coconut oil is great!)

1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix well and scrape into greased 9 x 9 pan. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes. For brownies, cool slightly, then cut into squares. For cake, cool and then frost.

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      How bad can this get ?? Does it go away??  How long ? Thank you

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
