Omg! Sister Getting Married...

If anyone can help, that would be great!!

My sister is getting married to her live in boyfriend in a very casual picnic at the park setting on July 1st. I just found out today.

She and my mom are gluten-free. I'm Gluten-free Casein-free. She's asked me to make the cake, and of course I'm honored. She wants a traditional shaped white cake (probably three small tiers) with white icing.

I need a really spot-on Gluten-free Casein-free recipe that "normals" would enjoy. How in the world do you make traditional wedding cake Gluten-free Casein-free? I know I can do great things with gluten-free ingredients but how do you make frosting CF? I might just make it gluten-free and bring myself a Gluten-free Casein-free cupcake or something.

Thanks in advance!

-Shannon

i don't know about the cake but the frosting is easy, you can just use shortening and sugar, just use water or soy milk to add little bit of water. you don't need much.

Yeah, i was oging to say, use soy or rice milk - even vanilla flavored would be great. Maybe try a test cake and let your sister try it before the big day... :D

Martha Stewart had on a baker from New York (Babycakes bakery) who has a gluten free bakery. They demo'ed brownies. I'm sure I remember her adding the choclate chips saying Gluten-free Casein-free and how wonderful they are. She is said to make the best frosting with aguava (SP?) nectar. Check the Martha Stewart site because they did post the recipe for the brownie and I think cupcakes or sweet bread.

You could try seven minute frosting, as long as eggs aren't a problem. It is a beautiful white, and tastes a bit like marshmallow.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I actually think this is going to be fun....

I think I'm going to bake a few test recipes for her this week and see which one she likes best.

Cherry Brooke Kitchen makes the most amazing chocolate cake mix. It is easy and great. No one knows it is a gluten-free cake. I think they have a vanilla cake mix too. The cakes are gluten-free, egg free, dairy free, and nut free. (Even my picky child who is not a celiac devours these cakes!)

The frosting is easy. Use Crisco shortening (I use the pre-measured bars). Other brands contain more water and are harder to get consistent frosting. I think it is 1cup (1 bar) criso and 4 c powdered sugar, beat until creamy. Add 1 t CLEAR Vanilla (do not use the brown vanilla or you will not get a true white cake). You will add 1 - 3 T of water depending on the icing consitency you need. Hard for flowers (1T water) or soft for writing (3T water).

If you have a Michael's craft store near you, they offer Wilton cake decorating classes. The class is really helpful, but I would not call any Wilton products gluten-free or allergy safe - IMO. Call them and find out.

Otherwise look for the real flower wedding cake designs. I would think they would be easier to make than a cake full of intricate frosting flowers.

Good luck!

I like this idea. My sister's favorite color is orange and the wedding won't have "colors" per se. I could probably decorate the cake with orange gerberas or orange astromeria. Maybe even an orange or apricot filling in the cake. Ohhhhhhhhh now I'm getting excited.

Many rice milks have barley malt in them. You could use almond mild it has a slightly sweet taste and I would use the original. Now as cakes go both Kinnickinick and el Peto have fantabulous gluten-free cake mixes. So fake them out and do it from the cake mixes.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
