Wow, was I surprised when my son, who just turned 24 yesterday, asked me to make him a gluten-free birthday cake. I have been gluten-free since 2001 and everything that I make has been gluten-free for the last 7 years. The only exception has been, when I make a birthday cake for someone besides myself. Michael usually wants a German chocolate cake or a white cake with white frosting for his birthday. Lately he has been saying that whatever he ate gave him a stomach ache and he has indigestion but when he eats here with us, he feels fine. Especially, pizza, I remember about a year ago when he moved back in with us, I was making pizza, he said he couldn't eat pizza because it gave him heartburn, or indigestion. He said it was the pepperoni, I said it was the crust. I told him, just try mine, I bet it doesn't make your stomach hurt because it's gluten-free. He ate it and didn't feel bad, imagine that. So yesterday, when he asked me to make him a gluten-free cheesecake I was surprised and happy to see that he finally gets it. Celiac disease is hereditary and I've been trying to get him to understand that he probably has it too. So, I made the gluten-free cheesecake with my awesome pecan crust for his birthday, my birthday is on Saturday, what kind of cake am I going to make myself now that I made the cheesecake for him. That's what I was going to make for me! Guess I'll have chocolate cherry, it's my second favorite gluten-free cake. I have all of my cake recipes in my new book called Should I Be Gluten-Free? America's Silent Epidemic - Celiac Disease. If anyone is looking for an awesome baking recipe, my book will be out very soon.
