Birthday Party suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am about to have a children's Birthday Party, and need some suggestions. I

know the subject have been discussed a zillion times, but bare with me if I

ask again.

#1 What candies can I buy in regular grocery stores, that are gfcf (and

with the minimum amount of dies as possible)? that includes chewing gums,

lollipops and such? I am trying to have pignattas done, but I need the right

stuff, so my son won't get into the forbidden foods.

#2 I need a foolproof recipe for a bread-type focaccia or something like

that, that I can cut up into pieces and use as bread, for the " buffet " . Good

if done with sorghum and/or rice flour (yeast not a problem).

There will be adults, so I am having a pork roast and a chicken, with potato

salad and raw veggies or fruits plate. What kind of dipping do you suggest?

of course gfcf but for little kids (age ranges from 2 to 5 yo). So nothing

spicy, you know?

#3 CAKE: I was thinking of a nice fruit tart. I use to make excellent tarts

before gfcf; now it is all different, so I would like a nice crust tart

recipe (the sweet ones with eggs, sugar and butter-of course, I will sub for

the butter). Or maybe a cake that I can make thin and in one layer so I can

use as a tart base.

How about the icing things that are used to write on cakes: are there any

gfcf ones or a recipe to make some so I can write on the cake? how about

sugar sparkles? are there any that are ok, and of fast access? I have no time

to order online and need to find things in regular stores, so I don't have to

drive too far, and can concentrate on the guests arrival from Italy (YAY!!)

Is that gfcf wipping cream found in HFS (forgot the name of it), okay? Will

it stay whipped also in the fridge after piping it?

Ok I think I coverd up all the bases. )

Thanks in advance to all.

I have same questions, except I want to make a

birthday cake, not tart. My sons 7th birthday is

coming up and I would like to make a birthday cake

with frosting (any recipes for both?) and snacks that

are easy or a light take along meal, since we will

probably be having the party at a science center.
