Re: Birthday Party suggestions

[Guest guest]

Go into Familyfun.com or Birthdayexpress.com and look up birthday cakes. I

made my son a snorkel man cake for his birthday from familyfun.com and it was

adorable. I just substituted for what my son could have. If you need some

help e-mail me privately.

Duncan Heinz (sp?) Homestyle Frostings are ok as well as some of the

grocery store write on icing. Look at www.gfcfdiet.com for the exact

brands.

Phyllis,

If it were me I would buy the chocolate cake mix from Miss Robens - it is

awesome, and I never made any bad cake mixes of hers. 1 -

call for a catalog or go online at www.missroben.com I buy MANY of their

products. It is a very easy to understand catalog, has tips and recipes

in it.

Here are some frosting recipes- try them ahead of time if you want, I

have not made any of them yet:

***************

I like this recipe.1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 egg white 1/4 tsp cream of

tarter 1 tsp vanilla, in saucepan bring syrup to a boil over med heat. In

a

sm mixing bowl beat egg white and creamof tarter untill soft peaks form

beat

in vanilla gradually beat in hot syrup and continue beating for three

minutes untill stiff and shiny makes two cups. Comes out firm just make

sure

the cake is cool. F

*****************

Frosting

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup

2 tablespoons shortening

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

dash salt

To make the chocolate frosting, combine all the

frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well

with an electric mixer until smooth.

***********************

gfcf cooked frosting (whipped topping)

1 cup gfcf " milk " (I used a combo of Mocha Mix and Pacific Rice Milk)

6 Tbs. gfcf flour (I used rice flour)

1 cup Crisco (I used a blend of regular and butter flavored

Crisco...1/2 cup of each)

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. gfcf vanilla extract

Pour flour into a medium sized sauce pan. Using a wire wisk slowly

add " milk " , wisking as you add it.

Make sure you wisk out any lumps.

Put pan on medium heat. Constantly wisk while mixture thickens(this

only takes a minute or two). Once it is really thick take it off the

heat and cover it with a lid (this is important, otherwise it will

lump up). After it has cooled a bit, whip it with wire wisk once more

(to get out any lumps) cover with lid again, and then put it in the

fridge to finish cooling.

With an electric mixer, cream together the Crisco, sugar, and

vanilla. Beat until fluffy (scraping sides of bowl often)

Once it's fluffy, add the cooled flour and " milk " mixture. Beat with

electric blender until desired consistency. The longer you whip it,

the fluffier and more whip cream like it gets (remember to scrape

sides of bowl often while whipping it)

You can use it right away if you're using it as a whip topping. You

need to refrigerate it for about a half hour if you're using it as

frosting.

Pamela's Ultra Chocolate Brownie Mix has a recipe for chocolate cake also.

We buy it at our hfs. We just used it for ' birthday party and it was

pretty good. It says something about a cross-contam risk, but I've used the

mix for brownies before and didn't see a reaction. I use a " normal "

chocolate icing recipe and just substituted soy milk and soy marg. It was a

real hit.
