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.

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
