Anybody got a celebration coming up?
If you do, you should definitely have a look at the most amazing celebration cakes available from Bewitching Elegance. Diane is a cake artisan specialising in lavish designs using innovative techniques and creates traditional cakes – but also vegan and gluten free ones. Yay, Diane!
I’m always impressed by people who can produce such beautiful creations. I can bake and ice cakes (I’ve just volunteered to make this year’s Christmas cake for our family gathering of about 25) but I don’t have the skill (or patience, creativity, dexterity …) to come up with anything even half so impressive. My cakes always look homemade!
Do go and look. I particularly like the one with seahorses on, because my fish-mad son would so enjoy it – but they are all astonishing.
Sadly, because cake doesn’t ship well across the Atlantic, we’ll probably never see them. But some of you could …
I have found these wedding cake artists here in the UK, who can provide gluten free cakes, and seem to be working with the same kind of artistry as Diane: Rainbow Sugarcraft and Maisie Fantaisie.

Now, who do you know who deserves a really special gluten free cake?
  |
I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle… |
WOW!! These cakes are beautiful. And they are gluten-free?!?! What could be better!
Lucy, This post inspired me. I went to look at the “Ace of Cakes” website from Food TV. They had a link to a Gluten Free Bakery near where my husband was staying with his parents. So, he stopped by and picked me up some stuff.
Brownies were really good. Sugar cookies…not so good. Chocolate chip cookies were average. I guess it’s give and take.
I did just put in the oven though, a recipe from Food TV, for scalloped potatoes. They had gluten free adjustments in parenthesis!! For example recommending rice flour as a subsitute in the roux where they call for all purpose flour. I used Carol’s blend because I didn’t feel like opening my bag of rice flour.
They also recommend omitting the bread crumb topping.
I’ll let you know how it tastes. I’m excited that Food TV might be catching on. I have written to both Emeril and Alton Brown about how easy it would be to adjust their recipies in most cases. (Corn starch as a thickener etc). I look forward to more recipes. One big mistake though, it called for 1/2c flour in the roux….I’m thinking they were going for 1/2 tbsp???? or 1tbsp????? That’s about all I used before I got the consistency I’ve seen on Iron Chef : )

Whose inlaws will be eating this. Perhaps I shouldn’t mention it’s gluten free until after dinner…revenge for all the torture my MIL put my hubby through with her healthy substitutions over the years.
Erin – Hi, and thanks for visiting.
Laney – Food TV should be congratulated for putting gluten free adjustments in! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone did that? Did you email them to thank them?
Hey Lucy,
I reviewed the recipe and gave it high marks specifically for the gluten free aspect!!!! I was so happy. It was delicious and everyone asked me to make it again! It was yummy but I think next time I’ll put some bacon in it.

I have had celiac for about 4 years now and I am a Pastry Extern from a Le Cordon Bleu Program at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute. I have been very interested in learning from someone with experience about baking gluten free products. I have spent a lot of time and money to learn this trade but i am not getting any satisfaction out of working because I can’t try anything that I make. If you or anyone that you know is looking to hire a dedicated pastry cook for gluten free products please send me some information. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter have a nice day.
I am gluten free and getting married. MS help needed
