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.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
