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 ;)

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. :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
