My Birthday is coming up in 2 weeks, and I want a cake that tastes like a REAL birthday cake. Can anyone suggest a gluten free bakery that ships cakes to Florida. Thanks!

This is an amazing from "scratch" cake:

One Bowl Chocolate Cake (read all the comments too!)

Open Original Shared Link

I add 3/4 cup of choc. or p.b. chips. Any gluten-free baking cocoa but if you use Hershey's Special Dark, it is a very dark cake...yummy. I tried it with Featherlite rice flour mix and Carol's sorghum flour mix. Top with chocolate frosting or make it like the one in the picture and double the recipe for a 2 layer cake. You could even put cherry pie filling on it.

I bake it in a 10x7" pan or an 8x8" with an extra 4 or 5 cupcakes on the side to freeze for a chocolate emergency ;) Be sure to bake it the full time.

You could also make it layered like a Dairy Queen cake. I like to make it the day before.

Bake cake and freeze it. Warm a jar of fudge topping and pour desired amount onto cake. Then sprinkle on some Pamela's cookie crumbs or nuts. Freeze. Soften some ice cream then spread it on the cake nice and thick (sides too if you removed it from the pan after baking/cooling and put it in a larger container) Then freeze until firm. Decorate it with piped frosting or chopped candy bars, sprinkles, nuts, etc.

Warning: M&M's will melt colors into the ice cream, not so pretty unless you eat it right up.

2nd warning: If you love chocolate, this cake is addicitve and alot cheaper than a mix.

:) HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D

I don't know of any bakeries who deliver, although I'm sure someone will have a recommendation for you.

As for baking your own, if you decide to, I'm loving the Cause Your Special Mixes. The Lemon and the Yellow are absolutely delicious with great texture and moistness. I make the Yellow into a spice cake sometimes by adding 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. ground clove.

Have a great birthday! :D

I am new to this but I make my cakes from scratch. I have four kids and we all love this cake. We use Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose gluten-free Baking Flour. It makes a great chocolate cake!

1 1/2 cups Bob's red mill all-purpose gluten-free baking flour

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder "hershey's Dark"

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp xanthan gun

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup butter

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup warm (110*) brewed coffee

Preheat oven to 350. grease11x7inch nonstick pan. set aside. place all ingedients, except coffee, in large bowl and blend with electric mixer. add coffee and mix until thoroughly blended. pour into preparedpan and bake for 30-35minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. serves 12.

I usually double this recipe myself. There is not any left by the end of the party. even the Adult and Kids cann't tell its gluten free. You can find more recipes at www.bobsredmill.com. I hope this helps.

P.S. Don't lick the spoon or the bowl. The batter taste nasty before its cooked but the cake is wonderful! That is the hardest thing for my kids to get use to. Not being able to lick the spoon or bowl. I hope you have a great birthday party!!!!!Best of luck to you!

I second the Pamela's chocolate cake mix. I made a cake out of that for a party and used cream cheese icing (my favorite). It was amazing. If you add a little vanilla and make a few layers, it also makes a mean german chocolate cake (my second favorite).

For a box mix my vote goes to Pamela's as well. I also love Annalise Roberts cakes & cupcakes in her Baking CLassics cookbook. I believe she has it posted on her site as well along with many other recipes.

Happy early Birthday.

Where are you in Florida?

There is a bakery in Sarasota that is ALL gluten-free. I have tasted some of their bread and muffins. Very good. I have not had their cake, but they do ship unfrosted:

These are pricey, but look amazing. Your birthday only comes once a year. ;)

Deerfield bakery in Deerfield illinois does wonderful gluten free cakes. deerfieldbakery.com, I believe. you can also check with bittersweet bakery in Eagan, mn. glutenfreecreations.com also sells cake blanks (cakes without the icing that you can frost/decorate yourself. (though if you are going to do that, you might as well back the cakes, I think).

Thanks for all the ideas! I am in Jacksonville, FL. I agree that the Pamela's cakes are Very Good, but I was just thinking that I wanted something that tasted close to the cakes I always used to order from The Publix Bakery. YUM!! My mouth is watering just thinking about that butter cream icing. I will try to contact some of these bakeries mentioned. Thanks again!

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
