OK, so my hubby is throwing me a surprise anniversary party (he failed to account that my family cant keep a secret, lol) and I have ordered the cake mixes and bought 6 brand new cake pans all the same size, lol... now I have to find a "good" icing recipe for my yellow cake. Anyone know any great ones?

P.S. if your near western Nebraska on nov 10th stop in!

better than sex cake

well, that sounds like a very interesting cake, but maybe should wait until AFTER the relatives leave for that one :D but please either post the recipe or pm it to me, would love to try it out on my hubby =))

Pillsbury frostings

I just assumed they would have tons of gluten in the over the counter brands, never even gave them a thought :D

If you are wanting an icing that you can decorate with . . . I use a version of Wilton's buttercream frosting:

1 cup of shortening (Crisco)

2 lbs of powdered sugar

Pinch of salt

1 Tbls of clear vanilla flavoring

1/2 Tbls of clear butter flavoring

enough milk to make it the consistency you want

Wilton's original recipe calls for twice as much shortening but I don't think it needs it. It also calls for less vanilla and no butter flavoring but I like the extra. You can use water instead of milk if you need to. The wilton clear flavoring is gluten-free - you don't have to use clear, but if you want a very white icing or a white icing that will take tinting/coloring better, then use clear (found at Wal-Mart in the craft/Wilton section or at Michaels)

Also, this recipe is VERY forgiving on it's quantities. I make gluten-free cupcakes that I keep in the freezer for whenever one of my children has a birthday party to go to. I don't measure anything, I just try to keep the approximate above proportions to make just a couple of Tablespoons - enough to frost a couple of cupcakes - I find I have to "finish off" what doesn't get used and the less there is the better. :lol:

Hope you are practicing your "surprised" look. :o - :lol::lol: Have Fun and Congratulations!

I can attest that this is a great kind of cake - not sure about its claim to be better than sex but it sure is good! Around here where I live, it's served with Skor Bar bits sprinkled on top - just something to add!

Pillsbury! :D

I use it all the time now.

OH...and no special mixes for me...I use the Gluten Free Yellow Cake recipe on allrecipes.com . I add about 3 heaping tablespoons of vanilla pudding powder to the dry ingredients and it gives it a really moist texture - just like the gluten laden store bought mixes.

:)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
