I'm planning a joint birthday party for my son (7), my brother and my mom. They all have birthdays within 6 days of each other in March. My sister and nephew are coming and her family is on an exclusion diet for allergies. They are on a wheat free/gluten free/dairy free diet. I am planning on having a couple of soups with cheese and such on the side for lunch but am baffled what to serve as a birthday cake substitute.

Would Jello with fruit work? Or try some Rice Dream, availb. at even walmart it's like ice cream
Merinque shells filled with raspberry preserves.
You could make rice krispie treats and instead of cutting them in small squares you could make several patches in various size and shaped cake pans and stack them for a tiered cake. Use wheat free cocoa krispies for a chocolate look alike cake. Decorate with plastic figures, etc. for an age appropriate theme
How about a Jello cake?
Make your son's favorite flavor of Jello, and add his favorite fruit according to the Jello directions. Put in round cake pans and refrigerate until firm. To remove from pan, dip pan into warm water (up to rim). Use warm knife to loosen Jello from pan, and turn over into plate.
Can they eat spelt flour? I use both white and whole spelt to make cakes, sweet breads, muffins, pizza, etc. No one can tell the difference. Whole spelt flour in banana bread gives a nutty texture.
We also eat soy delicious, which I like so much more than regular ice cream. There is a rice frozen dessert too. Check them out at a health food store. They're a little expensive, but we don't buy them too often.
Try cooking with soy milk instead of regular milk. You can't tell the difference in taste and it's so much easier than making two of everything.
It's really nice of you to be so considerate of their diets. Good luck.
Also, what is caster sugar? What is golden syrup? Thanks. J
I am going to try this recipe. I have a friend who has a very limited diet. Does anyone know of a great recipe book, or guidelines for creating dishes and baked goods without dairy, corn, soy, eggs, or wheat? Hm? J
