I need to bake a cake for hubby's birthday next week. I am looking for the best box cake (have no desire to make a homemade cake). I could do chocolate or a yellow cake mix. Let me know what you like or which ones were gross so I can avoid them.

Thanks Hez

For my son's birthday I got a gluten-free Ice Cream cake from Baskin Robins' Was a HUGE success. I had ot call in a day or 2 before I wanted it, explain to them exactly what I need done (ALL Ice cream, no cake, no cookies, etc) and etc, but they were happy to do it.

The Gluten Free Pantry has some great baking mixes. I think there is a chocolate mix and a vanilla. I've had both and they're not too bad.

I am a fan of 'cause your special gluten-free mixes too. Made my hubby a cake with them last month and it turned out great: Open Original Shared Link

There are lots of brands out there--you might not have time to order via mail, so maybe some of these others brands will be in a local store: Namaste, gluten-free Pantry, 123 Gluten Free, Authentic Foods, Dietary Specialities, Dowd & Rogers... I use Duncan Hines Homestyle frosting.

I LOVE Dietary Specialties... when I bake a box, I have to be careful or I will eat the whole thing!!! :ph34r: It is THAT good! Very moist and yummy!! I love the chocolate or white. They also make yummy banana bread, apple bread and pancakes. :) Can you tell I love this brand??!!?? :) Hope your hubby has a great b-day!!

That sounds awesome!!! I will have to look into that for my daughters birthday. How was the staff? When you requested an ice cream cake with no cake in it? Do you think they thought you were from mars or something :huh:

And another strange question : Did the shape of the cake hold up, or did it turn into one big ice cream blob? Just curious, I was thinking it would be pretty easy to make one of our own, by using one of those new rubber (silicone) molds that they make now. Filling it up with somewhat melted ice cream, then refreezing it. Just a thought ;) Thankfully I still have till December till I have to attempt my daughters first gluten free birthday party.

My local grocery store bakery also makes ice cream cakes. They are becoming more and more popular. My family bought me one for Mother's Day 2 years ago. It was truly awesome!! SO yummy!! It was 1/2 vanilla, 1/2 chocolate with snikers chunks everywhere. YUM!! So, check your local bakery too ~ chances are they can help you as well. :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
