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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
