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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
