My Daughter Made Me A Gluten Free Cake

My 13 year old daughter made me this 3 layer lemon cake with vanilla lemon zest frosting. It is as delicious as it it beautiful! She made it from scratch and she is only 13 years old!!! She used the artisan flour mix that we put together and keep on hand (from the artisan gluten free cookbook), she loosly followed the yellow cake recipe, but winged it and turned it into lemon cake. I'm so proud of her. Our local Gluten free bakery wants $80 for a cake. She asked if she could make it instead. I'll bet it was better than the bakeries cakes!!

Thank you, it was delicious! And my DD is so sweet and very talented. I was looking at the pictures again and thought that this cake really does look professional, and to fancy for $80 at a gluten-free bakery. I think your right, it would cost more. I don't know where this kid gets it. She was already talented with baking wheat stuff, then after I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy, she simply transitioned to gluten-free without blinking an eye. One of our gluten-free friends told her that she could make any wheat recipe by switching the flour for gluten-free flour and adding a Tsp of Xanthan gum. She took that advice and ran away with it.

Most of all, I feel so loved and supported. A cake is one thing, but the fact that she worked so hard to make sure sure I had a delicious birthday cake that I could eat, just makes me want to cry.....I feel so important and special.

If she were smart, it would be time to hit me up for stuff she wants at the store.....LOL.....cuz Mama is a puddle of goo right now! She could ask me for anything, yet she hasn't!

Wow. Look at all that counter space!

I love my house, but the kitchen was built in the Golden Era of TV Dinners. By the time you set the countertop appliances out, there isn't much room for actual cooking. Most apartments we've lived in have had bigger kitchens. Alas the tiled counters are so nice and it's otherwise laid out so efficiently, it's not getting torn up. But... I plot to maybe put one of those freestanding little tabletops up somehow, even 4 sq feet more would be great, like where your daughter is standing and zesting the lemons for that beautiful cake. There is a narrow breakfast bar, but the kitchen is so little I have the coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blender, etc all lined up on it, to leave a little counter space to cook on.

In the last house we had before this, the previous people did the nuttiest job of remodeling, and put a new kitchen on a very old farm house. It had counter space. Except that the refrigerator ended up back in the pantry in the next room, because they put a giant "breakfast bar" in the middle of the traffic pattern. To say this was an ugly breakfast bar would be an understatement. It was shaped like a giant tongue. So now there is a big "country" kitchen with no dishwasher, no refrigerator, a lousy sink, and if you sat down at the breakfast bar after making upteen kabillion trips around it for the food in the pantry, refrigerator, to get to the oven, or to the sink, you were facing a blank wall while eating, looking towards said pantry. The newer windows leak like a colander, too.

I really don't get this. We figured they must have done it based on plans out of a magazine article, or something.

After a short time I got sick of navigating around the intrusive counter bar to get to anywhere else one would use something in a kitchen, and we tore out the the Giant Tongue breakfast bar, (gleefully !) and put the refrigerator back in the kitchen, and replaced the tiny oven which died, with a bigger stovetop and oven, placed where the breakfast bar was originally attached to the wall and jutting into the room. And then we had room for the kitchen table, with real chairs, with a more attractive view when one ate or did food prep. My husband chainsawed part of the breakfast bar in half, to make a bit smaller counter piece fill - in to go in next to the stove. (years later we replaced the leaky windows and redid the Rube Goldberg style plumbing to get a dishwasher in, put in a decent sink and faucet, and put the washing machine up in the pantry where the fridge used to be, but that's another long story. ;) )

Yes, you would like having a rolling island. The one you see in the picture actually folds down on both sides making it pretty small if we want it out of way. It's a handy piece of furniture. I like how I can roll it to wherever I want to work, plus, theres storage underneath of it.

It sure sounds like you did a lot of work in that one kitchen!!!

      Ibuprofen

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
