sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

There’s a new book out there, using almond flour instead of all the nasty gums and starches and thickeners usually used in gluten free baking. The recipes make cake that tastes and feels like cake, not like a brick pretending to be a cake.

http://www.elanaspantry.com/

There are definitely some great cook books out there for gluten-free baking. You can buy or making all-purpose gluten-free flour mixtures that will substitute really well for most baking. Gluten-Free Baking by Rebecca Reilly has some phenomenal recipes. There are also some really good blogs around that focus on allergy-safe baking. I’ve tried a couple of recipes from http://glutenfreemommy.com/ and they were good.
But it really can be as simple as buying or mixing up an all-pupose gluten-free flour (like this: http://www.celiac.com/articles/512/1/All-Purpose-Flour-1-Gluten-Free/Page1.html) and substituting it in your favourite standard brownies, cookies or cake recipe. Breads and pastries are more challenging and the texture difference will come through a lot more. Some gluten-free flours have more distinct flavours than others that can be quite noticeable in more delicate things like shortbread, but isn’t a problem with flavoured treats like spice cake or anything chocolate.

My sister-in-law went to an office party in Baltimore and someone brought “cake balls” (aka cake pops without the sticks) and REFUSED to share the recipe! I heard the story and passed you on. Thanks for making the world happier and prettier. :-)

Loving your blog in Oakville, Ontario! (About 30 minutes west of Toronto)

Hi!!
Here direclty from new-brunswick canada, military Base engeneers!!!(id that is how it is written!)

I do not know much about gluten free food but Daring kitchen Forum do have alternative food group! just ask question!!

https://apieceocake.com/

This is a bakery in Lansing, Michigan that specializes in making DELICIOUS gluten-free treats!

All of the links that I know of have already been posted so… hello from Orlando, FL!

What a great idea, these icy cakes!

Love your blog and read it every time you post ~ here in Arizona. :o)

We have had our fair share of snow here on Cape Cod. Forget the shoveling – I want to make icy cakes!

How cute! I’m in NYC and your cake pops are a huge hit in the Big Apple!

Hi!
My sis-in-law is allergic to wheat (but not celiac) and is also an avid baker. She swears by “The Gluten-Free Gourmet” series by Bette Hagman. I was off wheat and dairy while nursing my daughter this past year and used several of her recipes to feel “back to my old self” in terms of what I could or couldn’t eat! Honestly, based on the other gluten free breads, etc. that I had found there is really NO comparison. Bette Hagman’s recipes are incredible. The 2 that I baked from and enjoyed (immensely) were “The Gluten-Free Gourmet Makes Dessert” and “The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread.” They both have a complete explanation of the flours and flour mixes to make/use and I found that most were quite accessible at my bulk food store and health-food store. I agree with a few comments previous to mine that warn about the ingredients in many pre-packaged gluten free kits…it’s a bit more work this way, but at least you know exactly what you’re eating!
(ps. I haven’t read all the comments here, so I don’t know if anyone else has already recommended these books…)
(pps. I’m from a small town in Northwestern Ontario, Canada)

What a wonderful thing! Thank you for sharing this!

And how fantastic that this mother would share this with her daughter. What a true testament to real love!

I love your blog and this post is so sweet. Reading this in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I am from Louisville Ky. There is a book called the G-Free diet. by Elizabeth Hassleback.

Bakerella,
Check out Land o’Lakes they have Gluten-Free Holiday Recipes (www.landolakes.com)
Also, check out the documentary Food Inc. (www.foodincmovie.com) It’s an eye opener and my explain why so many people need to go gluten-free.

Celiac’s is rough. I have a few friends with it. I myself have IBS and am lactose intolerant. Anyone know some dairy free recipes as well? I still cant find a good substitute for heavy cream or half and half.

My mother and both sisters have food allergies, (so I can sympathise with anyone that has these issues), and One of them is gluten. They order stuff from http://www.bobsredmill.com . Luckily they can find a lot in their local grocery stores in Texas, but for Ms. Emelie, she could order some stuff online. Here are some other brands and some of their items you can pass along:

“Gluten-Free Pantry” — french bread & pizza mix
“Naturally gluten-free” — spaghetti noodles
“DeBoles” — corn spaghetti style pasta, gluten free rice pasta & cheese (mac & cheese)
“Thai Kitchen” — rice noodle bowl soup
“Betty Crocker” — gluten free brownie mix, gluten free cake mix, gluten free cookie mix
“Annie’s Homegrown” — rice pasta & chedder (mac & cheese)
“Enjoy Life” — soft baked snickerdoodle cookies
“Ener G” — white rice bread, brown rice bread, tapioca bread, wheat free/gluten free wylde pretzels

P.S. I live in Louisiana… Love your blog! :)

http://www.tastykitchen.com
There is an entire gluten free section!

I see all the gluten free blogs on there already; which I bet have lots of links to suppliers. Love your blog, love making the treats great inspiration ~ I am in Ontario, Canada.

I’m from Colorado Springs (get that out of the way so I don’t forget)

I have a wheat allergy…not all the way to celiac (I can pull off oats and spelt), but it does lead me to find non-wheat birthday cakes for myself! This year, I opted for this recipe for Flourless Chocolate Cake (posted at my blog which has some wheat free/gluten free stuff on occasion):

http://dizzydesserts.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-my-birthday-and-ill-bake-if-i-want.html

It was so yummy (and I didn’t even make the ganache-like glaze!).

Also, someone mentioned that Betty Crocker has gluten free mixes – I’m not in a time position to check out 3 pages of comments so if I’m repeating someone, my apologies, but there is a section on Betty’s site using the mixes to make various “dressed up” goodies. http://www.bettycrocker.com/search/searchresults.aspx?terms=gluten

Love all that you do!

Hi, these are lovely!! We don´t get much snow here either!!!
I´m from way down south… Argentina!!!
Love your blog thanks for sharing your talent!!!
Happy new year!!!

I’m from Hershey, PA.

I get VERY excited when I see your email in my inbox and have printed out every recipe. The Father’s Day “burgers and fries” were like gold – you would have thought I’d just created the universe! I revised them and used them for the 4th of July, now they’re requested for all family functions!

I’m a North Georgia Gal!
that has to be the sweetest post. How precious are those little ice cakes and the little hands that made them.
I really don’t know anything about Celiac disease. I wish I could be more help.

The icy cakes are beautiful! However, we would never be able ot make them here in sunny FL

That is really cute! Talk about making memories with your kids. That will be one she remembers forever. What a great mom!
Admiring your creativity from little ole Broken Arrow, OK. Currently in a deep freeze and out of school for the next two days!

I don’t know o any baking resources either. I hope a lot of other people do though! I am currently in ITALY! We are from California, but stationed here with the Air Force.

Bakerella, you rock! You are such an inspiration!

I started a few months baking cupcakes, cakes and yumi stuff ago and Im ALWAYS looking at your website to get inspired and learn.

You are amazing! :)

Im from Mexico by the way heheh

123glutenfree.com has the most incredible choice of gluten free stuff. And its awesome, especially the biscuits-the cook up light and fluffy-something most gluten free products don’t do. The pound cake is so good and moist-my daughter who didn’t know it was gluten free loved it. The site also has recipes.

Ok, this time i could not help but post something…
Thanks for all the cute ideas you’re sharing each week! Kisses from Tel-aviv, Israel!

i like the roses, they’re so pretty!
she’s so creative, i only know how to make ice-pops and they’re not even half as pretty as these cakes!
anyways, i’m from Brunei Darussalam. (:
and i bake too, but not very well. hehe.

I have been eating gluten free for the last month, not because I have to, but because I feel better not having all the wheat. Sometimes we need to just take a break from certain things and give our body a rest. I have researched gluten free recipes on line and have made some wonderful things, one of the best being banana bread. I even made scones that turned out wonderful. I used a regular scone recipe and simply replaced the flour with a gluten free flour mixture.You can find all kinds of great recipes on line for a gluten free flour mix to bake with. I have been making Pamela’s brand bread mix (also Gluten Free Pantry’s) and my husband prefers it to regular gluten bread. I have not once felt deprived or limited. Most recipes use the gluten free flour mix like you would regular flour, cup for cup. I’m a baker and I have not had any problems replacing regular flour with the gluten free flour mixture. I simply used a store bought gluten free flour mixture in place of my regular flour in my standard banana bread recipe and it was amazingly light and yummy. I did add an extra egg for more moisture. Gluten Free baking tends to need a little more fat to create a moist product. Here’s a recipe for a basic gluten free flour mix:
2 cups brown rice flour
(extra finely ground)
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
Authentic Foods in California, http://www.authenticfoods.net/ sells many gluten free products and all the flours in the above recipe. (as do most health food stores). I am compiling a file full of gluten free recipes, all from my internet research. I also really enjoy the gluten free girls blog, She has some great recipes! http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/
….I’m from Sedona, Arizona.

http://www.glutenfreegirl.com
this lady is awesome!

I know Gluten-Free Girl has already been mentioned but I wanted to ++++++++ this recommendation. Not only is she a great resource for GF baking, she focuses a lot on how much deep pleasure you can find in food if you just open your mind and explore a little.

Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day also has several gluten-free bread recipes. http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com -they actually posted about one of them recently.

They are cute!

I am from Germany :)

Shouting out from Newton, MA…home of the Fig Newton.
Love this website Bakerella and all your creative ideas. I agree with someone who recently mentioned that you sould publish a calendar of all your cake pop creations…the sweet version of those calendars with all the veggie pictures. I bet it would be a best seller. Get busy so it will be ready for the Christmas 2011.

There is a great company called GLUTINO that specialises in gluten-free food. Here is their website; http://www.glutino.com/

They also have a Twitter /Facebook account and are even hosting a Twitter party with tons of interesting ppl and resources on celiac’s disease.

Hope this helps!

These are so cute!
{Hello from Olathe, Kansas!}

Awesome! I’m from Salt Lake City.

I’ve already seen the two blogs I’ve used most frequently when baking for someone with Celiac listed above. It’s hard because so many things have hidden wheat in them (and hidden cheese, etc.). I am always reading labels carefully (for the not quite as well hidden chicken and beef fats). Thankfully there are a few more gluten free products available now than there were even a couple of years ago.

A very good friend of mine is in the process of starting an online gluten free bakery. Her website is meepcakes.com

It’s pretty bare right now, but I know she will be doing farmers markets in her area this spring and I have seen many a photo of her baked goods. She is very talented!

hello – visiting from the frigid area of northwest Minnesota. Such a cute post and thanks for the call out about the celiac sites. My mom has celiac and we’re always looking for new sites and cool recipes. Love your site and can’t wait to try making your cake pops… hopefully this weekend!

http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/ is great!

Hi Bakerella,

I love your blog and am a faithful reader down here in Texas.

I have several friends dealing with Celiac and related conditions.

Celiac Disease is more common than many people think. It is estimated that 1 in 133 people have the condition. It often goes undiagnosed for years.

As a chef I am constantly looking for alternatives and evaluating recipes to be able to offer them as gluten free.

Baking is probably the toughest issue because traditional European baking relies so much on wheat. When you move outside that you will find some great recipes.

Pan de Queso is found in many South American countries. It is made with cassava flour and is to die for. The name translates as Cheese Bread. The main ingredients are cheese and cassava. You can try these recipes

http://www.asadoargentina.com/pao-de-queijo-pan-de-queso-cheese-rolls/

http://laylita.com/recipes/2008/01/14/pan-de-yuca-pan-queso/

Arepas are another South American option. Think of them as the Latin answer to English muffins. They are eaten plain or filled. Try these recipes:

http://www.whats4eats.com/breads/arepas-recipe

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/02/dining/021mrex.html

http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/everydaycooking/family/5ingredientsrecipes/recipes/food/views/Colombian-Arepas-239943

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/stuffed-cornbread-arepas-recipe/index.html

Note: Arepa flour is a precooked corn flour and should not be confused with masa harina. Arepa flour is sold as masarepa, harina precocida, or masa al instante. It can be found in Latin American groceries.

When not baking, nearly every recipe can be converted to gluten free. For instance make tabouleh with quinoa instead of bulgur wheat. The trick with quinoa is to rinse it VERY well before cooking. It is coated with a naturally occuring chemical that is bitter and discourages insects from eating the seeds. Once that is rinsed off, it has a delicious nutty flavor.

When a recipe calls for a roux of butter and flour, try using butter and a gluten free flour mix like the one from Bob’s Red Mill. I have use it to make a roux and to make crepes. The crepes can be used like flour tortillas to make quesadillas or wrap around a sausage or hot dog. Of course you can also stuff them with something sweet for a dessert.

Use cornstarch as a thickener for gravies rather than flour.

The biggest issue I have is finding gluten free ingredients. For example only Lea & Pearrins Worcestershire Sauce states that it is gluten free so that is the one I use. Soy sauce is another popular ingredient that almost always contains wheat. The San J brand does not.

The best thing someone with Celiac can do is educate themselves and read, read, read labels. It is possible to live gluten free, but our wheat based diet doesn’t make it easy or obvious.

It may have already been posted, but Betty Crocker sells a gluten-free cake mix. I was shopping in SuperTarget last week and saw it on the shelf.

My cousin made gluten-free cake pops for my bridal shower last month, using your directions. She used a Betty Crocker cake mix and they were so delicious! And beautiful! http://rebalene.blogspot.com/2009/12/bridal-shower.html

I’m in the frosty North – Canada =)
We’ve got a gluten free company based out of Edmonton that has tons of wonderful stuff.
http://www.kinnikinnick.com/

Try http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com she has many gluten free recipes. Love the cakes!

I loved this post and I just got an email yesterday on this subject from Rose Levy Beranbaum and said her new book has a whole chapter devoted to this here is the link:

http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2010/01/substituting_ingredients_and_f.html

My daugter’s name is Emelie to! I love her already and my Emelie makes lovely cakes with moon sand and whatever else she can snafoo from the kitchen.

glutenfreeclub.com is a company run out of Alberta I think and it is a great resource. It does have a nominal monthly fee. I get their news letters. I am not a member and every so often they will give you a recipe.

When it comes to gluten free baking you must mix several types of flours, ex: tapiopa ,rice, potato and maybe another one. You also have to use Xantham Gum as your levener.

She could also go to Mercola.com. He is an American mediacal doctor that has seen the light! His web site is shock full of good info. He has an Australian woman on video making gluten fee stuff.

Hope it helps,

SGreeniaus

Saludos de Monterrey, Mexico!
I am a fan of your blog and love to look at all the creative things you do!!

I have a ‘Swedish Cakes And Cookies’ (ISBN 9781602392625) published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.

It has quite a few gluten-free cookie recipes like the following:

Thumbprint Cookies (makes about 30 cookies)

350F oven
1/2 cup (125g) butter or margarine, soft
3 tbsp (1/2 dl) sugar
1 egg yolk
1 cup (2 1/2 dl) potato starch or cornstarch (I used the latter)
thick preserves

1. Beat the butter and sugar until liht and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk and starch. Roll into small balls.
2. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten lightly and make a small indentation in the center. Fill with preserves.
3. Bake on the centre oven rack for around 15 minutes.

These are very much like shortbread cookies. Stir the dough for a while because it starts out looking crumbly, but then does form into dough.

Enjoy!

Oh, and I’m in Ontario, Canada ;)

Happy new year from Minneapolis, MN! Bakerella, you are so inspiring and such a great teacher! :)

Lovely icy cakes! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Best wishes from Slovenia, Europe.

hey bakerella,
im all the way from sault ste marie ontario, and a HUGE fan.
one day i will tackle your cake pops!

anyways this post hit me to heart, im a cake decorator and have celiac. i dont get to eat my new recipes, but am always looking for new things to try, gluten free would be great.

thanks for posting this, made me happy :)

From Memphis, TN, where we have a lovely blanket of snow right now! Happy Winter!

One of the best gluten-free blogs I’ve found is Elana’s Pantry at: http://www.elanaspantry.com/

Gorgeous Icy Cakes!

Love the photos…what a sweetie! My friends and I adore you’re blog Bakerella!

Love from Rachel (A Cupcake For Moose) in Indiana!

There are plenty of gluten free mixes out there, as I can see many people have sent your way.
Another thought is using rice crispy treats. You can still make something similar to cake pops as far as looks go, using rice crispy treats that you shape for the centers, then dipping and decorating as usual.

Shout out from Roseville, CA (outside of Sacramento)
Love your site!

well that’s just awsome! :D tell the girl that everyone loves her cakes :D

I’m actually from Denmark, so I’m from Ella and Emelie’s neighbor country ^^ And my name is Emilie, pretty cool :D

http://www.livingwithout.com is a great web site and magazine with recipes for people who cant eat wheat and often dairy. I to cannot eat gluten or wheat so please pass on this info. to this sweet family for me and even my email if they want a couple YUMMY cookie recipes that the sweet red head cutie can eat. :) I love your blog and though i cant eat anything I make from it my friends thank you for all your cute ideas! :)

These are the yummiest peanut butter cookies ever and they are flourless. They are from Women’s Day magazine, I copied it from the Dentist’s office. But here is the link to the web site.

I have a friend with celiac’s and she uses almond flour.

I’m from Utah… although grew up for the most part in So Cal.

I think a good cookbook is: http://tinyurl.com/yggphlq it has a section that includes various flour blends and includes great baking tips.

Let her know about . . .

I can’t wait for some cold weather to try the ice cakes with my son. Looking at your blog from NC! :)

Cincinnati, OH here. Just love what you do and wish I had the time to do it at home. Btw, can I get an invite to your friends house with the nutcrackers??!! Just love the pics you took there. I think she should sell tickets!!

Those are adorable!
I’m from the “Ruhrgebiet” in Germany.

My husband was diagnosed with Celiac several years ago and you could have knocked me over with a sneeze. You see, I’m a pastry chef by profession and there is flour EVERYWHERE in my life. Needless to say, it’s taken years to adjust to this new way of life for all of us. The Gluten-Free Pantry has an entire line of amazing, good tasting products for those with Celiac. Many can be found in your well stocked grocery store. Amazon.com carries them as well as King Arthur Flour. It’s not just flour that has gluten, it’s yeast, mayonnaise, soy sauce, vanilla extract and the list goes on and on. Even many candies contain gluten (gummies, Swedish Fish, Twizzlers etc)! If you have a loved one with celiac and find them having issues, please read your labels. Modified food starch is in so many things and is nothing but gluten on steroids!

Our favorite gluten free item is Chebe Bread (mix), made with tapioca flour. Great tasty item!

By the way, I’m from New York. Love the ice cakes!

Greetings from Zambia!

Super sweet!!

KHS is a great forum for parents dealing with all kinds of kid-related issues, some of them have Celiac’s.She should come visit and ask about resources on the Allergy forum. Everyone is so supportive!.

The icy cakes are just adorable!! Good for all the New Year’s Resolutions, too!!

I’m from the Virgin Islands

I have celiac as well and I on a recent trip to IKEA I found that they now carry Gluten-Free Almond cakes. There are all kinds and they are tasty! They even have cheesecake with an almond crust. I thought that would be particularly helpful for a Swede with Celiac :D I also use Jules GF flour which is a one-for-one replacement for wheat flour and it works great! I can use all my old recipes just fine. http://www.julesglutenfree.com/

Shoutout from Singapore! Been reading your wonderful blog for about a year now. Belated Happy New Year’s and hope your 2010 is a great one. I adore your blog, and your friend’s xmas house decorations are simply brilliant. Keep up the great work! (:

Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen has a section dedicated to Gluten-free cooking and baking.

I am a US citizen living in Bamberg, Germany. My husband is an Army officer who just finished his third tour to Iraq (this one was 15 months…UGH). I am a fifth grade teacher at the elementary school here on the Army Post. Bakerella, you have many fans here!

My mom suffers from celiac, our little local coop has all sorts of gluten free sweets to indulge in. They everything from cookie mixes to mac and cheese :) If they are looking for goodies I would be happy to send a care package from NY :)

Very cute cakes. I just got The Flying Apron’s Gluten -Free and Vegan Baking Book, truly amazing recipes!

Really cute…
I’m from Denmark, and I love your site…

HANDS DOWN, Shauna over at http://www.gluteunfreegirl.com is THE BEST on this subject! She married a chef (Danny) and he has made it his mission to help her and their daughter (Little Bean) eat incredible well, including baked goodies! She has written a couple of books on the subject, too … she is absolutely incredible, and her written skills are inciting!

I read your blog from a small town in Canada called Midland. It’s a few hours north of Toronto, Ontario.

What a sweet post a magical lil’ ice princess baking is what came to my mind..Made me *smile* here in Colorado!!

I have a child diagnosed with autism so we are on a gluten free, dairy free and soy free diet. Baking this way has been a life change, but we are learning to make some really good stuff. I made chocolate chip cookies the other day that tasted like the real thing. They were GOOD.

I’m reading you from Argentina. Love your style, your photos…
It’s hard for celiac people here because gluten free products are So SO much expensive than regular ones, and besides, we don’t have so many variety of flours and products , so the best way is cooking! and the magical internet is very very helpful for that!

OMG Bakerella — I have celiac and would LOVE for you to take on a gluten free project. It’s all the rage, you know.

Lovely icy cakes you´ve made, Ella and Emelie!

It sure is cold here in Sweden right now! Where I live it´s -17 C this evening. We have had so many green and mild winters over the years, so it´s nice to finally have loads of snow.

I have a sister that is gluten intolerant (and diabetic too, all her life) so I know how hard it is to find good recipes and good foods. Unfortunately, allergies like celiaki, lactose and diabetes has increased in Sweden.

I love your blog, Bakerella!

Past what’s already been mentioned, I also refer to these sites for GF cooking:

http://www.heythattastesgood.com/
http://thebakingbeauties.blogspot.com/

Using Bob’s Red Mill overpowers a lot of baked goods with not-so-good bean flour tastes, so I try and stay away from it. Bean flour smells and tastes are a dead give-away to the people I’m trying to hide the gluten-free-ness from. I order my flours and other supplies from http://www.barryfarm.com/.

I’m baking in Jersey City, NJ.

From NE Oklahoma… my daughter has an autistic boy in her class who is gluten-intolerant. His mom has to make his lunch and provide his snacks every day. I feel bad, especially since I’m the homeroom mom this year and it’s my job to coordinate the parties (which typically come with cupcakes or cookies brought in that he can’t eat). I’m thinking that here for Valentine’s Day, I’ll make some gluten-free cookies and some icing that’s safe for him to eat and let the kids decorate their own snacks. Love the pictures!

Auckland, New Zealand :D and love your blog

That’s a sweet post and cute pictures! I love how you include your readers into posts sometimes – like the proposal and now this. Thanks for showing us the love. I’m from ATL – not too exciting, but I’m a big fan.

I REMEMBER MAKING THESE! AWW

This is a great post, thank you do much! I have a cake decorating business and we are often getting inquiries about gluten free cakes. I didn’t realize there were so many options! I’ll have to do some gluten free baking now :)

p.s. I am in ON, Canada….looooots of snow and ice here!

Here is a link with lots of baking ideas and tips for gluten free food. http://www.celiac.com/categories/Gluten%252dFree-Recipes/

Coming to you from Pasadena, CA! :)

I so admire your site and the inspiration you give. And am doubly impressed by the ice cakes. Here’s a site that may be of interest for her: http://www.elanaspantry.com/.

hi from Tallinn, Estonia, EU. i am not much of a baker but like reading about it. your pics are amazing

That is simply beautiful. I’d be honored to be offered those icy cakes!

Thank you to everyone who recommended my site. I’m happy to help guide anyone I can. Gluten-free baking is different than traditional baking, with much to learn (or un-learn, actually). When you feel comfortable, however, it’s still baking. And as everyone who reads this site knows, that’s a fine way to be.

Hi, Bakerella, I’m from Brazil and I love your blog.
I come to visit every day to know the news!!!
About this desease, I know a blog in portugues (www.delishvillesemgluten.blogspot.com) that show recipes without gluten and there, have some links to another blogs in english: glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com ; gfgoodness.com and glutenfreemommy.com.
I hope that this blogs can help Ella and another people.
Big kiss!!!
