Hi Everyone! I am brand new to the board, I have been reading posts for a few months now and everyone is so helpful! I have learned so much just reading all of your posts. I was diagnosed in the fall with Celiac, and I have been gluten free ever since!

I am getting married in August in Southern California and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to handle our wedding cake?? Does anyone know of any gluten free bakeries in the Los Angeles area? Any ideas or suggestions would be so helpful!

Thank you all!

Bette Hagman's Italian Cream Cake recipe is a great "Special occasion" cake - but you need to like nuts and coconut!

There are other's who have been married with gluten free cakes - sometimes you can make your own cake (or at least the layer the two of you will be eating from) and then have someone else frost and decorate it (but make sure you okay the frosting with the cake decorator so you're sure the frosting is gluten free).

Also, my cousin had a backyard reception after being married. I took a couple of gluten free cakes because so many of our family members have celiac. (One was chocolate, and one was a carrot cake). Interestingly enough, the gluten free cakes were gone LONG before the other cake . . . and it was NOT just the celiacs who were eating them! No one knew they were gluten free . .. they just knew they were good!

Congratulations!

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with a gluten-free wedding cake. We got married in June and had a large wedding. There was no way that I was going to bake a cake for 200 people nor was there a certified gluten-free bakery in the area. So we got a really good baker who baked our bride & grooms cakes and everyone LOVED them. I, obviously, did not eat any and i really don't regret it.

gluten-free Betsy - I'd love the carrot cake recipe if you'd share! You can PM me, or post in another thread - don't want to hijack this one!

Congrats on your wedding - I hope you find a solution to your cake! :D

The carrot cake recipe is in the desserts section of www.eatingglutenfree.com.

Just don't try to make cupcakes out of it . . . they end up looking like Mt. St. Helen's after the explosion . .. mostly crater! :lol: Of course, that way you get to use a LOT of cream cheese frosting on the top . . . which is delicious!

Our baker was WONDERFUL! We gave her a gluten-free cake mix to use on the top layer of our cake and the rest of the cake contained gluten. She separated the layers with cardboard. We ate off the top layer for the pictures and left the rest of the cake for our guest. We saved tons of money doing our cake this way.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.
