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!!!

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
