I loved making the Gluten free, Allergen free mini wedding cake for my sister’s wedding.
See my original posts here and here. The Pro-photos are in, and they look fabulous. Congratulations again to my beautiful sister and brother in law!

Namaste Foods are among my very favorite brands, and probably always will be.
All of their products are free of wheat, gluten, corn, soy, potato, dairy, casein, tree nuts and peanuts–
most, if not all, are free of yeast as well.
I made their Spice Cake which was fabulous. I added a bit more cinnamon and replaced the call for water with coconut milk, which kept it really moist. The things I like the most about Namaste Foods products is that they are actually reasonably priced and you get way more bang for your buck. Each of the cake mixes (and other products too) contains enough mix for two cakes or one very large cake. I have to say, all the mixes from them are way better than anything Betty Crocker Gluten free makes and they are much more allergy friendly. Don’t buy Betty Crocker if you’re avoiding soy, as most of their gluten free products are chock full of the stuff. Too bad.
I know this is a major plug for Namaste, but rest assured I am not receiving any sort of compensation for promotion. I just really support smaller companies that are on such a great track. They’ve never disappointed.
Spice cake hangs out with red pepper flake mashed sweet potatoes and pear-cranberry sauce in the midst of pre-Thanksgiving cooking.
My sister’s wedding is coming up in just a few days and I’ve been commissioned to do the soy free, gluten free cake! And in fact, it is a top 8 allergen-free cake! So stay tuned for some great recipes for allergen free wedding cake, rolling fondant frosting, and creamy filler frosting. Great baking product recommendations and of course, pictures to come!
Take care, and enjoy this beautiful sweet autumn day (it is here at least!)
Sending good energies,

Here’s a photo from my sister’s bridal shower this summer. I made two orange and chocolate glazed cakes. The only allergen they contained was eggs, (which I later had a reaction to because they were commercial and the hens were fed soy). Since then, I’ve found a great egg replacement that I’ll write about in the next post!
