For my b-day yesterday, I had a vanilla cake from Arrowhead Mills. I had been extremely pleased with all other products by that brand, and was slightly disappointed by the quality of their cake. It was of similar consistency to a real cake, but slightly dry--it was pretty good, but a cake I tried 5-7 months ago from the gluten-free pantry, Danielle's chocolate cake mix, was better--and I don't even usually like chocolate cake that much.

Anyway, it was interesting to get perspective on the quality of Danielle's mix having tried another--both were good and I'd recommend the cake from Arrowhead Mills to those who like a vanilla cake, but to those more impartial about that sort of thing, Danielle's is better......just thought I'd post my reviews :P

Found an even better mix--the Gluten Free Pantry makes a chocolate chip cookie or cake mix. The chocolate cake mix was kinda dry and the vanilla cake mix reminded me of corn bread. This one was moist w/ chocolate chips inside it and the best I've found so far. If anyone finds a mix they like, feel free to add. I started the topic with my own opinions, but please add your own :D . Finding good mixes is a lot of trial and error.

I recently made some cuppeycakes out of Miss Roben's Chocolate cake mix. I am not a big chocolate cake fan, but these were REALLY good. I topped them with some Duncin Heinz frosting and MMMMM.

Yep--I also use Duncan Hines frosting--the "cream cheese" flavored is my favorite, though it doesn't taste like cream cheese.

I'll look into the Miss Roben's mix--who knows what I could be missing out on :)

If you're a pound cake fan (and believe me, I am!), I LOVED 'Cause You're Special's pound cake mix (the classic pound cake mix). I found it to taste as good as the homemade ones I remember--it is a heavy dessert, but most pound cakes are--that's the only complaint I had from my family, who is not gluten-free--otherwise, they said it was great, too. YUM!

celiac3270 my friend, if you like yellow cake better than chocolate you have GOT to try the Dowd & Rogers Vanilla Cake mix. It is truly to die for. I LOVE chocolate cake, and I LOVE the Danielle's mix, but I would choose the D&R vanilla cake hands down over the Danielle's. I made both in cupcake form for my sons birthday and all the relatives were there and NO ONE could believe (a) the cakes were gluten-free or (B) that the Dowd & Rogers cake was so great. I ordered mine from the Gluten Free Trading Company if you can't locate it near you.

Order it and enjoy!!!

I will--I do prefer yellow cake usually.

Oh, I tried your potato chip chicken nugget recipe....it was terrific! Everyone loved them. I had tried nuggets using chicken and Ener-G bread crumbs, I had tried a processed, specially gluten-free nugget (Ian's) and it was pretty good. But these are the nuggets we'll be eating from now on. Thanks! :)

RE: Duncan Hines Cream Cheese frosting

In the past, I've blended a small amount of real cream cheese in with the Duncan H. brand. I am sure that it'll work for you if you use gluten-free cream cheese. It'll put the cream cheese flavor back into the frosting and give you a little extra to lick out of the bowl! ;)

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. 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.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
