I have Celiac Disease and so have to be on a gluten free diet. Even on my wedding day, no real cake or I will be sick, sick, sick and in the bathroom! With that said, anyone else have this same thing? We are going to go to the local gluten free bakery (thank goodness it's HERE!) to taste some of their wedding cakes. I am worried my fiance won't like it, and therefore want a regular cake for everyone, and a small one for me (and the couple others who have the same problem as me), which will cost extra money. Anyone ever taste a gluten free wedding cake? Anyone ever HAVE a gluten free wedding cake? What are some opinions on them? Obviously every place will be different, and I will have to try them myself...just seeing if anyone else has had this issue???
Re: Long shot....gluten free wedding cake!
The issue I am having is with the caterer. I had meetings and discussions with the caterer since september and they claimed they do gluten-free. Shockingly, after we paid the deposit in November, I phone them in January to check up on the linens and the manager suddenly wont accomodate me and my food was to be mixed with the gluten food! Outrageous! I am now scrabbling to find a new caterer and they breached our contract!!!
Gluten-Free wedding will make it more stressful but it will be worth it to not have a microwave lunch for the reception. What did you do for the meal?
moon, that's ridiculous about your caterer! I know it was hard for Mom to cut out wheat, but, really, there are so many options. When I attend catered meals, usually only the bread basket contains gluten or at least needs to contain gluten.
So I totally get the whole "peole will go eww without even trying it" sentiment. Yeah, just don't tell them. The only reason to tell guests the precise details of the ingredients of the food is allergy concerns. If those are an issue, they can ask you or the baker or caterer. You don't need to volunteer the info.
Moon, that's horrible but unsurprising. We had a simmilar issue,there was only a single caterer who has said that she would do gluten free. She has now backed out. Since we live in a small town I am now forced to do my own food. Ugh.
I am going for cupcakes--I'll have a dozen made gluten free and vegan (as I also cannot have eggs and dairy) and the rest regular.
Wow - RNMOMTO3, Glad to hear she didn't get a gluten attack from that tiny bit of cake!
