Gluten-free Wedding Cake In South Florida

Well my fiance and I are planning to get married August 2008. We live in Miami, but hope to get married in probably Broward County or Palm Beach County. Our wedding will be gluten free. The only thing that will not be, is the cake for the guests. I'll just get a sheet cake made up and serve the guests that. The display cake will be for my husband and I. So I need this cake to be gluten free. I don't mind a faux layer or two to reduce costs, but I don't want to risk any cross contamination with a partial gluten-free and partial regular cake. So here's the problem. 1, I need to find a baker down here who has some experience making gluten free cakes. 2, make sure their facility will be sterile and clean to reduce risk of cc. 3, I want it to taste good!!!! My mom makes wicked awesome gluten-free cakes, but they are a far cry from wedding cakes. Does anyone out there know of any bakeries in the tri-county area (South Florida) that can accomodate gluten-free???

Hi luckotheeirish1,

If your Mom makes wicked awesome gluten-free cakes maybe, she could bake this recipe I posted

on the Irish Coeliac Society Site.

.

It would just be a matter of covering it with marzipan (almond paste)

and covering that with ready to roll gluten-free white icing.

.

Brand names in brackets can be ignored, the are required by the Irish Coeliac Society

to show ingredients are vetted and 100% free of any possible Cross - Contamination.

.

Here's the Link.

Hope this is of some help or at least it's an option.

.

Best Regards,

David

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.

      That happened to me as well @trents! I always wondered it that regimen caused my celiac disease!

      I see nothing in the ingredient list that concerns me from a gluten intolerant perspective. Historically, how has your 13 yr. old been treated for his acne? When I was a teenager I had acne issues (this was in the 1960s) and was put on a long term regimin of tetracycline. It helped the acne but I am convinced it altered my gut microbiome and contributed to the development of celiac disease.

      Hello. My 13 YO son has celiac disease and terrible acne. Our older son, not celiac disease is using a product that is new on the mkt within the last few years called SHIELD. Body wash, cream and patches. Wonderful results. I contacted the Co and they were very helpful but definitely suggested we contact our G.I. specialist, I have done so but I have not heard back from her. Below is the correspondence with the company and I was wondering if anyone here could please tell me whether or not these ingredients are safe.     Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our products! To ensure transparency, here is the full list of ingredients used in our products. While we do not add gluten-containing ingredients, we always recommend reviewing the list below if you have sensitivities or allergies. Moisturizer Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Squalane Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer Niacinamide Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract Glycerin Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerine Face Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide (Curoxyl-42) Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Alpha Olefin Sulfonate Propylene Glycol Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Glycerin Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Cholesterol Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Carbomer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Niacinamide Sodium Hyaluronate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Ethylhexylglycerin Pimple Patches: Hydrocolloid Body Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Propylene Glycol Sodium Hyaluronate Niacinamide Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Sodium Hydroxide Carbomer Acrylates Copolymer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin If you have a gluten allergy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use, just to be safe.
