Hi, Can anyone suggest great tasting and fun cakes/decorations for a childrens birthday cake. I would also love to have some suggestions on a cookbook for cakes/cookies. I was thining of using a box cake mix and decorating with jelly beans or Necco wafers, but I would like to try to make something myself. I want to make something special for my soon to be 3 year old. Thanks! :)

Betty Crocker makes a great gluten free cake mix. I make it all the time for everyone and you can hardle tell the difference! Good Luck

I know you said you wanted homemade, but I thougth I share that we use Kinnikinnick mixes all the time and I have never had anyone know it was gluten-free. As for the "cool" factor, you can get Wilton pans for about $12 in all kinds of great shapes and they really are pretty easy to decorate. You get a very professional looking cake and all you need to know how to do is make stars with a decorator bag and tip. VERY easy. I make a soccer ball one for our son's soccer teams every year and they always get rave reviews and no one has any clue that they are eating gluten free.

For a different "cake" I've seen rice crispies types of cakes. You can mold them and decorate as desired. Open Original Shared Link

I saw a cute cake where you put bits of cake batter in a gluten-free ice-cream cone and then ice the top.

For my son's birthday we made this cake: Open Original Shared Link Casein-free-applesauce-spice-cake.html. He turned three too. It was ok. A little too ricey for me. But I really don't like rice flour.

My oldest son's birthday is coming up. He'll be five and we're going to try this cake: Open Original Shared Link

You could always go outside the box and not do a cake. Do make your own ice-cream sundaes. Or a big cookie. Or dessert bars. A pie. You get the picture. :) When I was a kid I didn't like cake so my mom always made me my request (usually a pumpkin pie or cheesecake).

(Sorry, not sure why the links aren't working - it's not highlighting the entire link.)

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.
