Need Help With Baking Ingredients

Hello ~ my name is Rebecca and I have a nephew who has Celiac Disease. My sister typically just bakes a gluten-free cake mix but I wanted to do something more homecooked for my daughter's birthday celebration at my house.

We are having a birthday party for my daughter and I wanted to make a flourless chocolate cake pops. I want to make 100% certain that the ingredients I will be using are safe. Can you all help me?

the recipe is as follows:

butter

*semisweet chcolate chips (for this I was wondering if I can use Hershey's Special Dark chcolate bar instead as I know regular choc chips from a standard store is not safe)

eggs whites and yolks

regular sugar

confectioners sugar

*Frosting - this one I definitely need assistance in which brand is safe.

I would appreciate any input or advice so I don't get my nephew sick and we are able to have a festive birthday party for my daughter.

Are all of these ingredients safe?

I use Nestle dark chocolate chips . I am unaware that they are unsafe but if you want to you can use their bar and break it up.

egg,,,sugar...confectioners sugars are fine I use any brand for these.

frosting = Betty Crocker has many gluten-free flavors it says Gluten free on back if safe , Pillsbury has a couple gluten-free flavors mainly vanilla and choc, again it says gluten-free on back

Since you are not a gluten-free house a few cooking safety tips. Bake the cake in a disposable pan (just to be sure) and mix ingredients in a very clean glass/steel bowl using non-wood, non-plastic utensils. If using butter make sure its from a new stick untouched . Do not use your hand mixer because it is contaminated with gluten, borrow a gluten-free one or use your bicep power.

I am sure your nephew will really appreciate your effort.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
