A while ago I posted that Baskin Robins told me they would make me a gluten-free cake if I gave them 24 hours notice. Welp I called thier bluff this weekend, hey it WAS Father's day, and I ordered a one it was great! :D Cant wait till I get home tonight for leftovers :D (ordered a 1/3rd of a sheet for just me LOL )

NOT Cheap though. :(

EDIT I should note here they did not know what gluten-free was, but they were very good aboutlistening to me, and they even took notes. At one point they even called me and check the indgredents of thier iceing to make sure it was okay!!

That sounds good is it just ice cream or cake too!

My dh got me a clown cone from them once and he brought a gluten-free cone to them and explained that I couldn't have wheat. Well, they put a cookie on the bottom I didn't realize it until I took a bite. :rolleyes:

That's great they were listening. Did they know of ways they could contaminate it while making it though? If they didn't know about gluten I would be very skeptical because where they prepare these cakes there is alot of ways it can be contaminated. If you do order it talk to a manager and then request a manager makes it...I know I worked at TCBY and the manager was very accomodating to special needs of people but the employees were a bit careless. TCBY will also do these cakes if you talk to them in advance(at least the one near us does)

Can we eat the icing? Is it gluten-free? Did you have them put any toppings on it? What exactly was the cake that you got? My b-day is tomorrow and the TCBY near us is closing so my Mom wanted to know where else to get a cake. This is great news, but i need to know more details please!!!

They read the list of ingredents on the Iceing and it was fine, but they were not sure about the "confetti" that they use... so I told them leave it off. It was just pure icecream+icing+decorations. I kept it simple for safty. Just call and talk to them, they need at least a full days notice becuase it takes that long for the icrecream to "set".

And I would double check the iceing at the one local to you since its a franchise, there could be some regional differences

The owner of the TCBY I worked at would call whoever made where they got the icing from to verify if it was gluten free. If not, if you bring some in that you can have they will make it with that....not sure if other TCBY's do this but I know this one did

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
