gluten-free Cake Mixes

The choices that I have are Whole Foods 365 White, 1-2-3 Gluten-free Yellow, or Glutano(white or yellow?). Pamela's is available but out of the running due to nuts. Namaste, we like alot but it is a bit heavy and alternative tasting for these kids I think. Any comments on the 3 choices? Thank you! Kiddo's B'day is Saturday and we had a plan for the cake but it didn't work out. :( so we're all bummed and I'm just not up to making one from scratch. Is there any hope that one of these mixes is good and good enough for gluten eating kids? I will be making homemade chocolate frosting that should be yummy and serving icecream so hopefully that will cover any minor differences.

I just made cupcakes this weekend for a friend's birthday with Cherrybrook Farms chocolate cake mix and their vanilla icing. They were very good (and I think their stuff is free of all allergens, so that may be another option for you!) One of my gluten eating friends said that it reminded her of a "yankee doodle" snack cake, in that it's a little more dense than a regular cake.

However, I've heard wonderful things about 1-2-3 Gluten Free... some here have said that it is far and away the best cake mix, but I have yet to try. I just don't make cake that often!

Good luck to ya!

Our fav would be Pamela's for a mix! WholeFoods is actually Gluten Free Pantry with a Whole Foods label.....

Betty Crocker mixes may well be very good but I'm guessing it has loads of trans fats.....

123 is good but again not as light as Pamela's.....

Annalise Roberts cookbook has wonderful moist, tender cakes & cupcakes.....very easy as well.

if wholefoods brand really is equivalent of gluten fre pantry then it would easily win my vote. i LOVE gluten free pantry cakes. they are SO good. i baked the white cake for our wedding and my husband ate half of it! and the chocolate is always in my cabinet because i just love cake. its not dense, and i cant tell you there's much of a difference between this and regular cake except mine have turned out a bit drier than is typcal for gluten cake. but its still yummy!

i recommend gluten free pantry with creamy fudge pillsbury frosting (if i remember rigt they are good about labeling allergens but always check it out for yourself)

good luck with the birthday!

Thank you all for your input. Kiddo had a great 11th(1st gluten-free) birthday! I used the Pamela's after seeing several recommend it and double checking the ingredients on the website to find that it didn't contain almond meal as I thought it would. Silly me. Should have checked first. The kids didn't even know it was gluten-free and one kid had two pieces. Dh even said it was good and he doesn't like cake much! I was glad that I bought two packages though as the first one sank in the middle after baking :o It warned not to overbake so I baked for the shortest time listed and it looked fine and toothpick came out clean but minutes later it was not looking so good. So I baked the second for the full time listed and didn't mix as much and it was perfect.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
