The nice thing about your birthday is that you typically don't need to worry about feeding yourself. Either your friends and family take you out or they cook for you. In my case, tradition is Mom having the family over for your favorite foods. In my case, my favorite dishes that I order every year are Baked Ziti and some type of chocolate cake (Carvel ice cream cakes are a particular favorite). So, for my first annual gluten-free birthday, Mom once again made the extra effort to fulfill my birthday wishes...without making me sick.
Although I can't say that I had a Carvel cake, I had a Betty Crocker chocolate devil's food cake that was damn good. General Mills is a company that has definitely stepped up to the plate in terms of gluten-free products and information. Believe it or not, they actually have a microsite for it www.liveglutenfreely.com. I was excited to see some cereal and soup options to try...because really, you can't cook or bake for every meal!
That cake does look good. Did anybody put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it?
