My DD is turning 8 next week and this is her 1st gluten-free bday so I wanted to make her a gluten-free cake. We love butter cream frosting does any one have a good gluten-free recipe?

We did find a bakery in the city that sells gluten-free cup cakes so hubby might go get them for her the friday before her party but it might be a project. I am happy to here that there is a gluten-free bakery in my area though!

Hi,

I have a very good butter cream icing recipe

here it is

1/2 cup crisco

1/2 butter

1 tsp. vanilla

4 cups powder sugar

2 TBSP milk

cream crisco and butter with a mixer add vanill, slowly add 1 cup of powder sugar at a time and add milk.

This icing reminds me of wedding cake icing

I hope you like it

I don't have a specific recipe, just a few tips.

I found what makes the best buttercream frosting is the quality of butter you use, European butter with a higher butterfat. It really makes a difference in the end result.

I usually make chocolate buttercream frosting on Pamelas Chocolate Cake Mix, but it sounds like you are wanting to do a white cake with white icing so you could make it pink?

Pink sprinkles are also an option (I think Cake Mate sprinkles are gluten-free, but maybe someone else can varify that?)

Hi Nikki's Mom,

I haven't tried food coloring in it, but I'm sure it would work. If you use red food coloring it will make them pink. Give it a try. Its very easy icing to make. Have you ever heard of Wilton cakes ? This is the same butter cream recipe. I have used this butter cream icing on chocolate and white cupcakes for my family.

If you do try it let me know how it turned out.

Thanks,

Sue

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
