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! ;)

      Hello, @Jane02, I take Naturewise D 3. It contains olive oil. Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
