Gluten Free Cakes

Anyone have a baker who can make a GF wedding cake?

Someone out there must have a food allergy or an FH with one....

Not at all. Ever hear of Sweet Karma? I've gotten some e-mails from them and they have gluten free cakes. They are located in East Meadow. How long have you been diagnosed?

This place was on the link that Mary posted.

However...does it matter how far your baker is from your RH?

Yea. I eat it a lot. Pretty much all of it except the bread since it can be so expensive. I just ate a gluten free brownie from Trader Joe's. Soooooo Goooood! Beats regular brownies. We make our own pizzas and I've started to bake some breads. Some things are horrible. Some stuff is really good.

I just have an idea. What if you request that the top tier be GF and the rest normal for all the guests, or maybe you already thought of that. I am sure a bakery will figure it out if you do request it.

The concern I have for that is with cross contamination. I am not sure how they put together cakes and there may be items in the middle but I would still be concerned. Also, that means the frosting/fondant which would be on all portions of the cake would have to be gluten free. I guess it's just about finding the right place.
