Need A gluten-free Wedding Cake In Phoenix

My sister is getting married in May or June, the date has not been set yet. She thinks she can make her own gluten free wedding cake for her own wedding. I keep telling her that she will be far too busy and stressed out to do this, even 2 weeks before the wedding. She says she can make it, then freeze it and have someone else set it up for her. Being that her wedding is going to be in Phoenix in May or June, it is going to be freakin' hot and I think it will melt even if frozen in a car. I think she should find someone to make the cake, instead of her doing it. Any ideas? Does anyone know of anyone that makes gluten free wedding cakes in the Phoenix area? I think she lives in Gilbert, which is where the reception will be. Also, since most of my side of the family has celiac disease, she doesn't want to mess with making two cakes. Besides, she doesn't want to "gluten" her own kitchen.

I made multiple recipes of Annalise Roberts carrot cake recipe and made a 3-tiered wedding cake w/ cream cheese frosting for my wedding a few years ago. I froze the layers (a 14 inch, a 12 inch and a 10 inch) and made the most beautiful cake!!

If your sister decides she doesn't want to make her own cake, there is a gluten free bakery in Phoenix. It's called Gluten Free Creations. I'm not sure if they make cakes, but I think they do. I get their english muffins, snickerdoodles and flour mix. Also have good herb baguettes. They are not in the best part of town and are hard to find. My hubby goes for me or I get my stuff at my health food store in Fountain Hills.

Here's another option. Maybe she could contract a small decorated cake for the cake table but make all the sheet cakes, the ones you serve to everyone anyway, gluten free. I am a florist and lots of weddings do this because is less expensive than to make a massive cake that feeds everyone. All guests are feed from the sheet cakes. A regular bakery could make say a two tier gluten cake then add columns and a base to seperate the top layer to be gluten-free for the BRide and groom to eat from. I'll bet they wouldn't object to you making that cake layer yourself as long as they can assemble it.

Another idea; you probably have chefs all over Phoenix who will make gluten-free meals special for dinner customers. They understand the CC issues and could either reccomend a baker for you or be contracted to bake it themselves.

You're right about her being too busy. I always tell brides that I will design their flowers any way they like with as few floral pieces or all of them. But even if Martha says they can, they will not have the time or refrigerator space to make those bouquets themselves. They will have a lot to do in those days leading up to the wedding. When I design the flowers, they don't have any flower worries; I'll take care of it for them. The same with her cake, there won't be any cake worries if she has a professional take care of it.

See if you can't talk her into buying the cake blanks, then she can just decorate them.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
