Dire straits!!! CAKE IDEAS
We can't eat the same grains you listed -- my birthday cake ideas are -- Can your son have amaranth flour or quinoa? I make a good amaranth carob cake from The Allergy Self Help Cookbook (Marjorie Hurt Jones). I've also made a good pineapple coconut quinoa flour cake - the recipe has eggs but I've successfully used egg replacer with it. My new favorite is the Basic Yellow Cake (there is a version with and without eggs) in Carol Fenster's Special Diet Solutions Cookbook -- I substitute garfava flour for the rice. It was a big hit even with non allergy people. I made a carob buttercream frosting using carob, corn free confectioners sugar, and margarine. Yummy. If potato is ok Miss Robens does have a chocolate and a yellow cake mix that are rice and corn free -- but they have potato flour which one of my son's cant have. Kelly
