Cake Pan Birthday Cake

Hi!

Thought I'd ask you folks as the experts: I am having a birthday party for my son this Saturday and would like to make a gluten free cake in a cake tin so my niece can participate. I purchased one of those Wilton cake pans and will likely make a bee for the nongluten cake and a ladybug for the gluten-free one. I'll make the gluten-free one first of course and be meticulously careful to have an immaculate kitchen, but does anyone recommend a particular mix? The gluten-free cake mixes I've tried in the past are yummy and sweet, but they trend towards a bit dense, and I'm bit concerned about how I'm going to get it out of the pan so I can frost it. I'd try Namaste as I see it has been recommended also but they don't have it in town and don't think it could be here on time. Any suggestions for what flour to dust the pan with (after using shortening) are also welcome-I have rice flour/tapioca flour/potato starch, some brown rice flour and sorghum flour, also some Wendy Wark's mixture I made up a little while ago. Thanks for any suggestions! :)

Do you have any xantham gum? If so, I have a recipe you could try, but you need xantham gum and a few other "rare" ingredients for it: xantham gum, white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch flour, buttermilk powder. Those are the only uncommon ones needed. If you have those, PM me and I'll send you the recipe.

Can you get Gluten Free Pantry in your area? They have a Cake and Cookie Mix that is really good. I have had good results with just greasing the pan--with no flour--and it came out fine. They also make a chocolate cake mix.

I used the "Cause you're special" chocolate cake mix in a Wilton pan last year and it turned out fine, I did have to add some xathan gum, but I don't remember how much :huh: someone on here told me that trick and said how much and all that, but I don't know where to begin to find it..... :(

I wasn't much help huh?

I just made my sons first birthday smash cake out of Bobs Red Mill Chocolate Cake mix. I used plain butter to grease up the Elmo pan. He came right out perfectly. I find that cake mix to be very good. I hope this helps. I also find Bobs at my local supermarket.

Wow you guys are fast! Thanks for all the suggestions, I am writing them all down and will go check out the aisles, and thanks for the recipe Guhlia! I will also take up the suggestion to just grease it, no flour. Thanks so much everyone!

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1! The reason you are seeing conflicting results when you research the length of time recommended for doing the "gluten challenge" is that the guidelines have recently been under revision. So there are two components: 1. amount of daily gluten consumption and 2. duration of that amount of daily gluten consumption Recently, the guidelines have been under revision because the medical community was sensing the previous standards were too relaxed, particularly in the daily amount of recommended gluten consumption. The more recent guidelines seem to be calling for higher amounts of daily gluten consumption over (perhaps) as shorter period of time. So, it is becoming a daily minimum of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. Personally, I would recommend that amount of consumption be extended from two weeks to four weeks to ensure valid testing. Your Immunoglobulin IgA at 1.25. Was that within normal range? If that one is low, you are IgA deficient and other IgA test results cannot be trusted. But regardless of whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same, namely, a gluten free diet. What would you do different if you had a more confident differential diagnosis? And there are other reasons for the development of osteopenia/osteoporosis that you probably should explore. Are you on any serious supplementation for D3 and magnesium?

      The results of my blood tests after 4 weeks: *Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA —->   “<0.5 NEGATIVE” *Immunoglobulin IgA —-> “1.25” *Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG —-> “<0.5 NEGATIVE”

      Hi there, I have been scouring the forums, medical journals, celiac websites, speaking to my doctor and there seems to be a contradiction in the exact amount of time one must do the gluten challenge for a blood test. Let me please express my gratitude for taking your time to help! I will try and keep this short. In a nutshell, I am positive genetically for celiac. Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet. At a very young age, I had infertility, hair loss, low iron, stomach problems, neurological symptoms, continued low bone density etc. etc. all the symptoms that line up with celiac.  I could never get an “official diagnosis” because I was not eating gluten for years.   Recently, I had a bone density scan, and was shocked at the results. I am young and my low bone density is continuously lowering. This lead me  to seriously consider doing the celiac blood test to confirm if I actually have celiac. Years ago, I had an endoscopy and they did a biopsy saying it was negative for celiac - but I had been on a gluten free diet for years. Now, I asked my doctor if I can start the gluten challenge and get this over with. My doctor said two weeks then get the blood test. I have been having 2-3 pieces of bread daily. After four weeks of doing this, I went for the bloodwork - it came back negative for celiac. I am continuing to eat bread daily, it has now been over 6 weeks. I am not able to get an endoscopy. Please, from your experience how long really must I eat bread daily to ensure I do not get a false negative blood test for celiac? I have read up to 12 weeks. One doctor advised this is foolish to even do this gluten challenge as I am damaging my body. My other doctor said 2 weeks eat it, but it showed negative. But with my recent continuous lowering of bone density I personally need to rule celiac out.   Thank you VERY much for your help, I truly appreciate it!!

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.
