Baking Pans & Wedding Cake

What type of pan do you use for baking? Non stick, glass?

Everytime I bake a cake, especially white, they come out nice and brown around the edges but just about raw in the middle. I have checked the temp in my oven and it is correct. My daughter is getting married and I may be the one to bake the wedding cake, three tiers! I have found a baker in California but it is 3 hours from our home. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've used nonstick pans for both cakes (and muffins and bread) that I've made and so far they've all come out perfect (knock on wood!). I found that The Really Great Food Co. has a wonderful cake mix - I used the chocolate but their other stuff is great too.

Hi I use metal pans and I cook them longer on a lower temp. You can also cover the top with foil if the edges or top brown, but the middle isn't done. We use gluten-free cake recipes for all sorts of cakes for every imaginable family function. We usually have made them from scratch, really liking Carol Fensters recipe books, however there are so many wonderful gluten-free mixes now a days, they are great too. We often serve a cake or something gluten-free to guests and they have no idea they are eating gluten free. We served a beautiful "football" birthday cake for our son's part last Sat evening and no one had a clue it was gluten free. chocolate with chocolate and white frosting with all the intricate decorating so it looked like a football! They loved it! I just call manufacturers and ask if a product is gluten-free, even from the grocery store. Hope this helps!

Annalise Roberts has a white cake that she designed for someones' wedding on this site. I have made it just to eat & it is wonderful....Depending on the wedding size you may want to triple it or more or just make a special one for the gluten-free people.

good luck

The problem with baking cakes is that the edges bake faster than the middle-regardless of the pans. You need to slow down the baking of the edges. To do this you need thick cotton toweling strips whose width is cut the same as the height of your pans and are as long as your pan is around. Soak these strips in water and then run them lightly thru your fingers-don't wring them out. You want them to be as wet as possible without dripping. Wrap them tightly around the outside of the pans and secure with an all metal pin(s). Then bake your cakes as per directions. This will also help your cakes be more level when done as the hump in the middle is caused by the same issue (edges cooking faster) Good baking!

Forgot to mention-you can also buy these strips from Wilton-but it is just as easy to make your own.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
