I just wanted to say that I’m very sorry you’re having a hard time finding an accomodating place. Growing up with allergies in an allergy-unfriendly world was difficult for me as I would always be the kid at the party who had to watch the other kids eat their cake. Even now that the world is slowly catching up with us allergy-laden much hasn’t really changed. I went to a gathering for my and another’s birthday, and there was a cake made. I was told, if I wanted I could bring something I could eat too.

I think that things are getting better, slowly. There are more bakeries and restaurants with conciousness popping up all over the place. Babycakes, which is based in NYC and will soon be publishing a cookbook, serves all sorts of treats mostly gluten, soy, nut and refined sugar free. I can’t wait till that book comes out!

I hope your daughter has/had an amazing birthday and that you find/found somewhere to have it!! Recipezaar has a wealth of gluten free recipes. Here’s a link to my favorite bundt cake I’ve come up with. It cheers everyone up! http://www.recipezaar.com/Glut.....ake-311455
