6th Birthday - "cake" Ideas

She wants a big giant cookie for her cake that she had last year before going gluten free. I'm wondering if you can recommend the best cookie mix, brownie mix and/or cake mix for cupcakes so I can decide what to bake for her birthday. I don't think I can bake the big cookie in my oven and have it come out OK.

I say mix instead of from scratch because I'm pressed for time and not the best at baking.

Thanks!

Gluten-free Pantry makes a chocolate chip cookie mix that has instructions to make a really good cookie cake. Everyone in my family loves it!

You could also just bake regular size cookies & then place them together on a tray & icing the top. Geez, that sounds good !!!!

You can stack the cut brownies in a pile and place those tall, extra thin candles in the top.

We like the Namaste choc. cake mix for cupcakes. Some gluten-free baked goods work better in a couple of smaller pans rather than one big one. If you make the Namaste mix in a large rectangle, you may need to add more baking time than the package says to get it done in the middle. The Namaste is softer than other mixes. Pamela's is good too- just a little denser, if I remember right.

Thanks you guys! I knew you'd have some great ideas! I love the creative solutions of putting the brownies or cookies in stacks or put together with icing, etc. I got to the health food store today and bought 2 brands based on your recommendations. We will see how it goes next weekend!

I was at Whole foods today & saw the cutest cupcakes!!!.... The best one was two cupcakes put together then with green icing they made a dragon. The icing started with a tail, curved around & completely covered the cupcakes then continued down to form the head of the dragon. White icing or candy was used for the eyes. It was super awesome. They also had single cupcakes that were gorgeous, one was decorated with a rose on the top covering the whole cupcake. The rose was piped on icing. I cannot remember all the other decorations, I was so fascinated with the dragon!!!

I've seen the same concept but caterpillar instead and using more cupcakes.

you can actually buy cupcake pans that are made to make shapes with separate cakes at Target, etc. they are really cute.

Pamela's baking mix has the chocolate chip cookie recipe on the bag. Gluten eaters ask me to bake cookies for them, and they sold out at the bake sale. People (gluten eaters) even asked me for the recipe.

I like to make a double batch with walnuts, semi- sweet and sweet chocolate chips. (get half of the chip as chunks if possible). I don't flatten the cookies like the directions say.

Cherrybrook Kitchen cookie, cup cake mixes are the best we make cupcakes every year instead of Birthday cake. My sister makes a gluten-free ice cream cake which is fantastic I can get the recipe

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
