Funfetti Cake? Cream Of Mushroom Soup?

Okay, so I've been gluten-free for 3 weeks, and I have been "diving in" to buying replacement foods, learning the recipes, etc. There are just 2 favorite foods that I'm craving, and I can't find anything on them.

They are very unrelated, lol! But does anyone know how I can make gluten-free cream of mushroom soup? And/or gluten-free Funfetti cake (that's the white cake with the sprinkles inside)?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has figured either of these out!

Hi,

I have 2 recipes for cream of mushroom soup, but none for the cake.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup dry milk powder (we use a non-dairy creamer)

1 cup white rice flour

2 Tbsp dehydrated minced onions (can be omitted)

Thanks, Amy! Those are so helpful.

Now I just need to find a way to make my favorite cake again, and I'll be ready to go (at least for now, lol.)

Health Valley makes a gluten free Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup. They can be a little difficult to find for some people though.

Progresso makes a "Creamy Mushroom" soup that is gluten free. I thicken it a bit on the stove with a bit of gluten free flour.

hmmmmmmm.....I don't really know what Funfetti cake is (but I want some :rolleyes: ) but I know that Namaste makes some really great cake mixes, and those might work. the sprinkles.........I don't know but you can check ingredients on those. Would colored sugar work? the really large, course crystals - I h ave a fabulous multi-colored package in square cylinder I purchased at a gourmet grocery. I think those are mosly gluten-free.

We like the 'Cause You're Special yellow cake. I have found it in a health food store here but you can also order it online. It looks just like a regular white cake. I haven't tried this, but I would think you could use some sprinkles just mixed in. A lot of Wilton's cake decorating supplies are gluten-free but you have to call to verify.

I wouldn't try the Namaste vanilla cake with this because it makes a very dense, brown cake.

Almost all Wilton candy sprinkles are gluten-free. Also the same with the Cake-Mate brand found in most stores. We use a ton of sprinkles at my house and the only things that I have found to have gluten in them are the edible shapes "pictures" of Barbie, Scooby-doo, Looney Tunes, etc. that either go directly on the cake or have a tab that can stick into a cupcake. They all had wheat starch in them, the rest are fine.

So you could mix a gluten-free cake mix and then stir in the candy sprinkles right before you pour it into the baking pan. It works great.

I use both of these with great luck. I can find the Health Valley ones at the local health food store as well as Kroger and Publix. You might check there and if they don't have it, ask your grocery store to order it.

As for the funfetti cake...... I'm a cake mix girl myself. The BEST one I've found is Cause you're Special. I make cupcakes and freeze for later. I bet you could just make the cake and add in some sprinkles and bake as you normally would. I order these mixes from glutenfreegourmet.com or you can get it from gluten free mall. I think Amazon even carries them now!!!!!!

Good news--Progresso Cream of Mushroom soup is gluten free--I use it a lot and love it. Actually, many Progresso soups are gluten-free--but of course not the noodle or barley varieties, and not the tomato basil, but I've had the lentil and some of the vegetable ones, and they're good--I've had no problems. And these you can find in the regular grocery store, and stock up when they go on sale. As always, read labels. Health Valley also has a cream of mushroom and a cream of chicke that are good and gluten-free. B) Good luck.

Thanks everyone!

I think I am going to try the Cause You're Special yellow mix and add the sprinkles - sounds good to me.

On the soup, glad to hear the news on Progresso, and thanks to all for the recipes as well.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
