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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
