My grand daughter Joscelyn has been to several birthday parties this year. She’s very used to telling the hostess that she can’t have the birthday cake because it has gluten. For her birthday I have looked forward to making birthday cake the she CAN eat! She didn’t want chocolate, and so we made a yellow cake.
Joscelyn helped me make the cake last night. She was excited, since three of us, including her mommy Kayli eat gluten-free, and she knew we would be putting the recipe on this website today, to help others like us. Kayli did the princess cake decorating today.
For Joscelyn’s birthday lunch we enjoyed spaghetti made with our favorite pasta – De Boles brand, made with Jerusalem Artichoke Flour. When time for cake, we were happy to find the cake met our expectations – it tasted great! Grandpa, or as Joscelyn calls him, “Crappa” even asked for seconds!

I have a few questions. Do you think you can use a substitute for the mayo b/c my child can’t have soy or corn either and I think mayo has that. Also are those gems edible or did you just take them off. And lastly…sorry for all the questions, but what did you use as the filling in the pictured cake? And what is your frosting recipe?

I realize this is an older post. I cannot locate the link to the recipe. There is a very special little boy having a birthday this weekend. I’d love to make him smile.
This week was his first week adjusting to his new gluten free, milk free diet. Thank you, in advance.

The easiest thing is to buy a Betty Crocker Gluten Free cake mix at your local grocery store, then make frosting using 1/3 cup shortening, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 2-3 Tbsp soy or rice milk and some drops of food coloring. =)

How do I get the recipe for the glutenand caesin free birthday cake
Larraine @ 10:08 am
This is done with a Betty Crocker gluten-free cake, found in the section with the other cake mixes. If you want a two layer cake you’ll need to buy two mixes. I substitute the butter with shortening. The frosting recipe is in a comment above.
