re:nut-free birthday cake suggestions

,

Some years ago I saw a beautiful watermelon cake.

It was a gorgeous melon, bright pink inside. It stood up, the long

way-- a smallish/personal size melon. The bottom was sliced off. the

top was sliced off.

So it stood solidly on a cake plate. It was decorated with

overlapping slices of kiwi. And of course, there were candles.

decoration possibilities abound-- if watermelon works for your almost-

six year old. and if you want to try a really different kind of cake.

On a separate note.... my daughter turns six at the end of July. I

have always made her a special cake that is different from the one her

party guests have because of her nut allergy, but now on the SC Diet,

we're more limited. I saw the Autumn Cake recipe on Pecanbread.com

that doesn't require nuts and plan to try it. Are there any others you

recommend? Has anyone tried to make the muffin recipe as a cake?

Thank you.

Thank you Ruth! That is a fantastic idea. A few of the children in her class have multiple food allergies so I always try to accommodate them (e.g. one eats straight frosting, but only certain brands are acceptable). A fruit cake would work for not only my daughter but all the other children with egg, nut, dairy and soy allergies. My daughter adores fruit, so I love this idea.
