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. :)

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
