Edy's has introduced five new light ice cream flavors in partnership with American Idol - customers can vote for the one they like the best and the winner becomes a permanent flavor. Despite the name, the Take the Cake flavor is gluten free - it's yellow cake-flavored light ice cream with frosting swirl and multi-colored sprinkles. The Triple Talent and Choc N'Roll Caramel flavors also are gluten-free.

Here's the link for Take the Cake:

I love the search index (go to www.icecream.com/flavorfinder and go to the flavor finder at bottom left and search by ingredient (gluten free is an option!).

Thanks so much for posting this! I would not have even looked at the ingredient list since "cake" is in the name of the flavor,

Be aware, though, that some of the light ice creams are not gluten-free--here are the ingredients for

Edy's light French Silk

INGREDIENTS: milk, skim milk, sugar, cream, corn syrup, chocolaty chips (sugar, coconut oil, cocoa processed with alkali, partially hydrogenated coconut oil, cocoa, salt, soy lecithin, natural flavor), whey protein, cocoa processed with alkali, egg yolks, tapioca maltodextrin, soy protein, cellulose gum, natural flavor (derived from wheat), mono and diglycerides, carrageenan, guar gum, glycerin, salt, dextrose, vitamin A palmitate

At least, they didn't hide it.

I went out looking for this today. Ugh... I can't find it anywhere, even where they say they should have it. I'm hoping they get it on the shelves soon. I've never had cake flavored ice cream and it sounds really good to me right now. I did get the peanut butter cup one and it is excellent.

I couldn't find this ice cream either and John really wants it too. He made me drive to 5 Giant stores looking for it.

He he he... The things we'll do for our men, huh? Did you try using the flavor finder on the website? They had a section where you could put in your zip code and see where a specific flavor was located.

Thanks Savvvyseller for the tip. I would NEVER have checked any of the Edy's ice creams and certainly would not have thought that I would've liked a cake tasting one. I purchased Take The Cake and Choco 'N Roll Caramel and they are AWESOME! I can't decide which one I like the best. I DID have a reaction many hours later but I'm fairly sure that it was something else but still I have a call into Edy's just to doublecheck. Can't tell WHAT is bothering me these days. I found this ice cream at a Meijer's in St. Charles, Il (near Chicago) but did not find it at my local Jewel. :rolleyes:

I just went to the edyslowchurned.com website and voted for Take the Cake! It's at 32% and the next closest is the cheesecake one which is NOT gluten free. Sooooooo.........if you like Take the Cake, please go and vote! The top voted for flavour they will make into a permanent flavour. For once our vote may actually count! Angel :D

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
