Marshmallows, Candy, Powdered Donuts, Mini Hamburgers, Etc.

I've started to plan for my wedding menu (yay!), and I need a little help! OK, a lot of help! :) The hotel takes care of the buffet menu, but I need help with the extras.

We're having a candy bar, coffee/cappuccino bar, and I would *like* to serve mini hamburgers at midnight. Both sides of our families have the "hollow leg syndrome"...hehe.....

Can anyone help me in the following areas?

-gluten-free marshmallows....Large size, pink and white.

-Mini frozen hamburgers and/or mini buns. I doubt any gluten-free company makes these premade, but it's worth a shot!

-gluten-free candy, candycanes.

-gluten-free flavored coffees, teas, etc.

-Premade gluten-free powdered mini donuts (I should give my head a shake...right?) :P

-gluten-free/Cf Chocolate for the chocolate fountain (Believe or not, my guy is the one who wanted the fountain.... :rolleyes: )

Thanks for any help you can give me! :D

P.S. It would be great if anyone knows of things that are both Gluten-free Casein-free. I was going to cheat on casein on the big day, but now I react like an allergy (trouble breathing, etc.). :angry: I don't have an appt. with an allergist until Aug. 13th, so I'm not sure yet if I'll need to avoid casein like the plague, or if I can just use allergy meds.

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are dairy free and gluten free, but I don't know if they would work in a chocolate fountain or not. I'm not really sure how they work.

gluten-free marshmallows -- Whole Foods sells vanilla and strawberry marshmallows in plastic tubs that are gluten-free.

Mini-buns -- Chebe bread wouldn't be dry if left out on a buffet and can be formed into small buns. Let me know if you need more info on prep. (fat free cream cheese makes a white bread type roll, parmesan makes a deli cheese type roll) or if you can find a supplier of frozen gluten-free dinner rolls or frozen Chebe rolls? I don't know how well most gluten-free products will survive sittng out on a buffet table.

gluten-free Powdered sugar mini-donuts -- I've never seen such but I've made powdered sugar donut holes from Chebe dough (baked, not fried). Let me know if you want the recipe but these have to have the sugar put on within a few hours of serving or it vanishes (unfortunately, I'm fairly sure the calories stay around)

Tons and tons of candy is gluten free. To name a few: Almond Joy, Baby Ruth, M&M's (plain or peanut), Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, Mounds, 3 Musketeers, Reese's Pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Tootsie Rolls, Sweet Tarts, Hershey's kisses, hershey bars, york peppermint patties.

There is definatey more, but this is just off the top of my head.

For the donuts, definately order from Celiac Specialties. Their donuts (and munchkin size donuts) are the absolute best!

For tea, I forget which brand it is, either Celestial Seasonings or Bigelow, but one of them labels gluten free right on the box. Usually near the ingredients. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I don't think I've heard of any coffee having gluten.

Jett Puff marshmellows are gluten free. (made by Kraft). You can find them in any supermarket.

When is your wedding?!!

Check out this earlier conversation. I posted several Chebe recipes in a string here.

You can get a wide variety of effects just by changing up the cheese. I found out using fat-free cream cheese (the fat-free has xanthan gum) makes a white bread type dough. Parmesan makes a Schlotsky's type bread. Forget the cheese (as I did one time) and it makes a biscuit/scone type of item. I enjoy playing around with it just to see what I can do with it.

I use parchment paper when I bake anything. I also make it with 6 oz. of parmesan and add the baking powder mentioned on the red package, do everything else according to package directions and divide it into 4 balls and press in my tortilla press for mini-pizza crusts. Cook them as directed on the package and freeze for pizza later. Or put the dough ball in a quart ziploc sprayed inside with butter PAM, pat out to an even thickness (s/b about 3/4 inch to 1 inch), cut the bag away (on the seams) and use a pizza cutter to zip it into 20 pieces. 3 or 4 of these makes great lunch mini sandwiches. I take 4 because my co-workers always ask for a taste.

It's a very versitile dough. Just remember to wrap it in a cotton tea towel and let it air for 12-24 hours before you put it in an airtight container or in the fridge. Unlike rice flour products that dry out easily, Chebe has to have a chance to dry out or it goes gummy.

Dear Karen,

Thank you so much for that link to the recipes! I love you! :lol: I have been wanting a buttery roll, but due to my yeast overgrowth, doughnuts, rolls, and many other things seemed out of the question. Now there is hope! :lol: I am so excited!

Sincerely,

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
