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. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
