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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
