So my cousin is gluten intolerant, and her birthday is comming up next month. I wanted to surprise her and make her either a gluten free cake or brownies (I have seen the gluten free mixes at the store, so im not too concerned with that)-- i am concerned about the toppers for either. I wanted to either spell out "happy birthday" and her name-- in either icing or those little candies that are in the shapes of letters that are meant to top cakes-- Does anybody know if these products are gluten free? If not, does anyone have any gluten free cake/brownie decorating ideas for me?

Any help would be greatly appreciate ;)

Guhlia (Angie) is the Queen of Baked Goods. I am sure that she will fill you in.

What a wonderful effort you are making. :)

Wilton is VERY good about letting you know what has gluten in it. Figure out what you would like to use, and call Wilton. They are GREAT about disclosing information.

Some types of Cherrybrook Icing is gluten free - it says it on the box.

Just be VERY careful about cross contamination.

Don't use wooden spoons or nonstick pans which have been in contact with gluten.

Make sure there are no crumbs lying around before you start baking.

Check your pan spray, some contain flour.

It would be a shame to go through all the trouble of making a wonderful gluten free surprise, only to have it make her sick from accidental cross contamination.

A friend of mine went to all the trouble to do a gluten-free cake for me, there was also a regular cake for the regular folk. Luckily I physically grabbed her hand before the cake cutter went from the Gluten -full cake into the gluten-free! :lol: She couldn't believe she would do that, but it is SOOOO easy to cross contaminate when you don't have to watch for it everyday. And those little folded corners in the square cakepans, or the handy dandy little rotating bars in the bottom of older round cake pans, hold onto crumbs and may put them into your gluten-free masterpiece.

Chocolate can be melted in a baggie, the corner cut off to make a small piping bag, and you can write your message. Hershey is gluten-free and readily available. Ghiradelli is gluten-free and better...

You can use candies to decorate, esp. if they don't have any other intolerances (soy, dairy, corn, et cetera). Skittles are gluten-free and casein free. M&Ms are gluten-free.

If you are making brownies, you can melt chocolate bars as a topping.

And you're really, really nice. :)

      I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard. I bought Teff flour there and like it. they have a lot of items on your list but probably no soy flour, at least not by that name. https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/food/flour/teff/brown/teff-flour-brown-unifine-gluten-free/11211?package=FL294 As mentioned in another answer, Palouse is a high quality...

      gluten free cookie recipes

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.
