My four year old daughter is allergic to wheat, eggs and milk and I am having a difficult time trying to find a suitable birthday cake for her, and I don’t have time to bake one.<\/p>\nOne of the things I enjoy about writing this blog is that I get a lot of questions in my inbox about living gluten free. <\/p>\n
I do try to reply to all of these—and it occurred to me that if one person is asking, probably there are others out there who’d also like to know.<\/p>\n
So I thought I’d start occasionally putting some of the answers up here, for you all to see. Obviously I’ll keep personal details confidential, but I hope this will be useful.<\/p>\n

She has never eaten any type of cake but is desperate to eat cake on her birthday, ideally a princess or mermaid cake. It breaks my heart to see her looking at the birthday cake she can’t eat… <\/p>\n
This question pulled at my heartstrings too: I remember those birthday parties! So I was keen to find as many options for this little girl as possible. <\/p>\n
As well as looking for wheat free, egg free, dairy free cake, I decided to look for gluten free vegan cakes (which would also be free from eggs and milk). Do bear in mind that not all vegan cakes will be gluten free.<\/p>\n
The princess\/mermaid thing was a little more difficult…<\/p>\n
I replied:<\/p>\n
I do have some suggestions, but I haven’t tried any of these egg-free cakes, so I can’t tell you what they are like. But here’s what I’ve found from around the UK… <\/p>\n
If you fancy any of these (and Rebecca’s Cakes look good) the best plan is probably to contact the baker and see what they can do to help.<\/p>\n
Over to you: do you know of any others you’d recommend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
