Gluten Free Wedding Cake

[jen71]

I'm planning my wedding in Oahu and am looking for a bakery that makes Gluten free cakes (it is my wedding day and I'd like to be able to enjoy at least a little). I thought I would have just the top made Gluten free at least.

Anyone have any ideas for bakeries over there? Haven't been able to locate one yet.

Thanks,

Jen

if you cannot find a bakery you might be able to make a cake and find folks to decorate it -- or another deal you could make is offering them mixes they could use and the basics of cross-contamination -- most bakeries would be willing to make your cake in a safe manner -- but you may have to pay them more or just sell them well -- you know, expanding clientele, etc.

Might I also suggest cupcakes. You could get regular cupcakes for all your guests (should be cheaper than doing all gluten free) and then a few gluten free ones for you for that day and the next. That's what I plan on doing at my wedding in April. Good Luck!

It might depend on where your having the wedding. The first thing would be to talk to the pastry chef if its at hotel.

Many of them are aware of celiac and what we can and cant do. It also depends on how high end you want to go.

I would write to Wanda Adams the food editor of the honolulu advertiser. I'm sure she would help you find someone. She did a story on a few of us Hawaiian celiacs including one chef working for a food service equipment company who may be able to help.

Now, If you change to the Big Island, My son was a pastry chef and now a chef at Mauna Kea Hotel. He makes wedding cakes on the side and has made a few gluten free cakes. So has Christope, the pastry chef at the Four Seasons here.

I know of what used to be a great bakery on Oahu -- used to be, because they had no idea what I was talkling about when I asked about gluten-free items.

Hope this helps
