Peanut, Nut and Egg-free Birthday Cake?

I've also been looking for a peanut-free bakery because I'm a room parent for a peanut-free classroom, so I look forward to seeing all the responses.

Whole Foods sells baked goods and I believe cake mixes from Enjoy Life, which also has a website (www.enjoylifefoods.com) where you can order things. All of their stuff is all-allergens free.

There's also a recipe called Depression Cake that doesn't have eggs. Here's one version of it that I found by googling:

INGREDIENTS:

* 3 cups flour
* 2 cups sugar
* pinch salt
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 10 level tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 3/4 cup salad oil
* 2 tablespoons vinegar
* 2 cups cold water

PREPARATION:
Sift dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix with a large spoon until smooth. Spoon into a greased and floured 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Frost with your favorite frosting.

Good luck! I'm sure the party will be great no matter what!

I recently attended a birthday for my friend's son who has serious allergies similar to your son's, plus dairy. She had such a creative idea. Her son is really into trains, so she made a train cake with a couple train cars. The first was the cake that had allergy-free ingredients and the next few cars were store-bought pound cakes. She iced all cakes so that the "special" cake was indestinguisable to her son. She also sort of carved out part of the pound cakes and filled them with gummy worms, sprinkles, etc. The whole thing was really cutely decorated. Also, instead of ice cream she served sorbet. I was so impressed at how she managed to deal with her son's allergies without making him feel any different from the other kids.

You might try the cake mixes from Cherrybrook Kitchens - they are sold at Whole Foods - They have chocolate and vanilla cake mixes and icing mixes as well. My daughter (also allergic to milk and soy) loves their pancake mix...we replace the soy milk with water and the pancakes turn out fine:) I just bought my first Cherrybrook cake mix to make tonight (for her birthday party tomorrow)the only ingredients that you have to add are marjarine and water. Smart Balance LIGHT spread has been approved for my daughter as it does not have milk proteins or soy. The best part: The Cherrybrook Kitchen mixes are made on dedicated equipment (no dairy or eggs) in a nut free facility. So, hopefully, no worries. Good luck!

Diana,

My sister is also allergic to eggs. She makes her cakes with mayonnaise instead of eggs and oil. I guess the small amount of eggs in mayonnaise isn't enough to bother her.

Also, on www.cooks.com, if you type in "no egg cakes" there are dozens of recipes. Perhaps, a bakery would use one of these recipes to bake you a cake.

Good luck,

This is the only thing I could find on it.

My husbands godson has a bad peanut allergy, and they always make the cakes for both of their kids. I know they have looked everywhere, and no commercial baker they could find could guarantee no nuts. Maybe you could buy(or make) an ice cream cake? Although, that would work for his egg allergy :(>

Good luck!
