Hi.

We just found out last week that our youngest has a high chance of having Celiac. (She is scheduled for her boi. on Wed. and we are waiting for everyone elses blood work to come back).

Our 2nd DD's 5th birthday is in 11 days and we will be on the gluten free diet by that point. This diet will be a hard change for her and our other two older children, so we would like to make her 1st gluten free birthday cake as yummy as possible.

Please let me know your suggestions, either pre boxed or from scratch( with directions please :) ).

TIA~

Jen

I've tried the boxed decadent chocolate cake and it is good. I have made a flourless chocolate cake that is very moist and delicious, it isn't too involved but harder than the boxed. Here is the recipe:The ULtimate flourless chocolate cake.

  1. 8 eggs
  2. 1 pound bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate chopped
  3. 1/2 pound butter cut up
  4. 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  5. 1- position rack in lower 1/3 of oven preheat to 325 . line bottom of 9" springform pan with parchment paperand grease sides of pan. Wrap pan in heavy duty aluminum foil and set pan ian larger roasting pan.
  6. 2. Beat eggs until volume doubles. Melt chocolate coffee and butter in microwave 50%power til melted.
  7. 3. Using a rubber spatula fold a third of the eggs into the chocolate mixture until just a few streads are visible. Repeat with 1/2 remaining eggs then fold in the last of the eggs.
  8. 4. Pour batter in pan. Pour enough boiling water to come 1/2 way up the pan. Cook 20 to 25 min. (internal temp 140 degrees)
  9. 5. Glaze 3 oz semisweet choc 3 TablespoonsButter 1 Tablespoon light corn syrup. 1 Tablespoon milk. Slowly melt . pour on top of finished cake, as a glaze. Serve with whipped cream.
  10. This is very rich but quite tastey. Enjoy Brenda

"Cause You're Special cake mixes are very good if you can find them. I have found them in 2 health food stores and ordered them online.

I've only tried the Namaste spice cake but they make chocolate and white cake mixes, too. The spice cake was very good but maybe not a good 5 year old birthday cake. I've seen those at Whole Foods and maybe the regular grocery store, too.

Gluten Free Pantry brownies are even better than regular gluten brownies. They are available in mixes at Whole Foods and some regular grocery stores. I'm making those with marshmallow creme frosting to serve to my 10 year old daughter's gluten-eating class for the Christmas party.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
