This blog is primarily meant to be a sewing blog, but cooking and baking gluten free and allergen free is very dear to my heart and necessary in my household. I have been doing it for almost 8 years now, because my son has multiple food allergies, not the least being a severe wheat allergy. He turned nine last week and this is the first time his birthday cake has included eggs (he is starting to tolerate a couple of eggs in baked goods).
Thanks to the recipe from here. I have made this bundt cake a few times as well as the cinnamon bundt cake. Both come out excellent. I made half a dozen cupcakes and used a 6" springform pan to make a bigger cake. I decorated them to look like a basketball and soccer balls..my son plays both sports. A couple of his (non gluten-free) friends dropped by and ate the cake and really loved it!
Notes:
I used Baker's semi-sweet chocolate squares and broke them up into chunks and used Pillsbury frosting (this has been safe for my son, so I use it).
I frosted the cupcakes with vanilla frosting and used a #3 tip with dark chocolate frosting to draw the pentagons. I put on a layer of dark chocolate frosting on the cake and smoothed it out. Then I drew some curves with the same #3 tip and dark chocolate frosting, then filled in with #18 star tip and orange colored vanilla frosting. After filling in completely, I drew over the curved lines again with #5 tip to make them stand out.
