Hi, Can anyone suggest great tasting and fun cakes/decorations for a childrens birthday cake. I would also love to have some suggestions on a cookbook for cakes/cookies. I was thining of using a box cake mix and decorating with jelly beans or Necco wafers, but I would like to try to make something myself. I want to make something special for my soon to be 3 year old. Thanks! :)

Betty Crocker makes a great gluten free cake mix. I make it all the time for everyone and you can hardle tell the difference! Good Luck

I know you said you wanted homemade, but I thougth I share that we use Kinnikinnick mixes all the time and I have never had anyone know it was gluten-free. As for the "cool" factor, you can get Wilton pans for about $12 in all kinds of great shapes and they really are pretty easy to decorate. You get a very professional looking cake and all you need to know how to do is make stars with a decorator bag and tip. VERY easy. I make a soccer ball one for our son's soccer teams every year and they always get rave reviews and no one has any clue that they are eating gluten free.

For a different "cake" I've seen rice crispies types of cakes. You can mold them and decorate as desired. Open Original Shared Link

I saw a cute cake where you put bits of cake batter in a gluten-free ice-cream cone and then ice the top.

For my son's birthday we made this cake: Open Original Shared Link Casein-free-applesauce-spice-cake.html. He turned three too. It was ok. A little too ricey for me. But I really don't like rice flour.

My oldest son's birthday is coming up. He'll be five and we're going to try this cake: Open Original Shared Link

You could always go outside the box and not do a cake. Do make your own ice-cream sundaes. Or a big cookie. Or dessert bars. A pie. You get the picture. :) When I was a kid I didn't like cake so my mom always made me my request (usually a pumpkin pie or cheesecake).

(Sorry, not sure why the links aren't working - it's not highlighting the entire link.)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
