Do you use regular icing sugar or a gluten free kind?? and if so what is it called. Also can you buy the regular whipping cream in the carton or just cool whip??

Thanks.

Hi 'goldyjlox',

Yes using icing/confectioners sugar and whipping cream is ok.

.

Here is a few recipes for frosting.

MAPLE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup of butter

JennyC Enthusiast

I usually buy Walmart brand powdered sugar, it says gluten free on the label. I also buy the whipping cream in the carton to whip myself.

Here is a quick and easy frosting. It tastes great.

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa

16 oz heavy whipping cream

Place dry ingredients in chilled bowl. Add whipping cream, blend with mixer until right consistency. This is a recipe kids are sure to love. The only downfall is that it needs to be refrigerated.

Thank you for the recipes!

Here's another great frosting recipe

Duncan Heinz Frosting

1/2 cup margarine

2 3/4 cups icing sugar

1/4 cup regular sugar

1 medium egg

1 tsp vanilla or 2 Tbsp cocoa (for chocolate)

Beat all ingredients together. If the batch is larger than you need, the remainder can be stored in the refrigerator for a month.

This is my family's favourite frosting now. It works great on the celamix cakes.

Enjoy! :D

David, those buttercream frosting recipes were making me drool! That is my absolute favorite icing - I can even eat it without the cake :)

I either buy Pillsbury or make my own. Depends on what I'm making.

I buy Domino's Confectoners Sugar and use the Buttercream Frosting recipe on the box. I substitute Spectrum Shortening and 1/2 teaspoon McCormicks Butter Flavoring for the butter and either vanilla almond milk or water for the milk to make it dairy free.

I've used the Wilton Snow White Icing Recipe before and it was good.

I am in the process of baking my son's birthday cake for his party tomorrow. I bought Pillsbury icing this time (I called them and they did confirm glutenfree status for me). I'll let ya know!

I do like home made - I've made a whipped ganache before too. I'll post my recipe, gotta dig it out. :D

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
