Gluten Free Frostings

I remembered previously someone was looking for gluten-free frosting. All Pillsbury frosting is gluten free except coconut pecan. I have read conflicting things about Duncan Hines. All their CREAMY frosting is gluten free except butter cream and coconut pecan. None of their whipped frosting is gluten-free.

Happy Baking! :)

Thanks for the info on the frostings. They are so much easier than making it from scratch.

Thanks! I didn't think Duncan Hines was gluten free. Good to know.

Are you kidding? :blink: Or maybe you don't have an electric mixer?

If you have an electric mixer (stand mixer is best), it takes all of three minutes and 4 ingredients:

1 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature)

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (I often skip the sifting and it's fine)

3-4 tablespoons milk (cream is even yummier!)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Beat butter by itself 30 seconds til fluffy, add everything, mix on low til sugar is incorporated (1 minute), beat 1 more minute on medium. DONE.

You can add 1 more tablespoon milk if it's too stiff.

For chocolate frosting, decrease sugar to 3 cups, and add 1/2-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.

If you forget to take your butter out of the fridge, you can defrost it in the microwave on the defrost setting for 30-60 seconds.

And homemade TASTES so much better than the cans, which have a very strong rancid shortening odor to my nose and a strong chemical taste to boot.

I wish I could e-mail you some good homemade frosting!!!! :P

Ditto on the homemade frosting tasting so much better then the cans. Besides, with canned frosting, there are no beaters to lick!

Thanks for posting on the frosting. Good info to know. I don't have a mixer, I am not the best baker in the world, but Fiddle-Faddle that recipe you posted sounds very tasty. Thank You!

Dear JennyC,

Thank you so much for posting this! I was wondering if any would be safe! Sometimes I do not have time to make them from scratch, or I am out of bowls. We could not afford to buy all new stuff, so I have a very limited selection of pans right now! I have one mixing bowl, a cookie sheet, a wok, and a saucepan. That is all, aside from a wooden spatula, a wooden spoon, and another wooden spoon (all of which were new and only used for gluten-free cooking.)

Dear Alison,

Thank you for the recipe! I would love to try that soon! I have not had a lot of time for special baking lately. I would love to attempt a french bread! The problem is, I cannot use yeast either. This is going to be tricky.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

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

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      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.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
