BIRTHDAY CAKE IDEAS

If you can do wheat – try Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Butter Recipe Cake mix. It has wheat and you add egg (egg replacer) and acceptable margarine. This holds together so well and is good for cupcakes when other mixes fall apart. Very moist! Duncan Hines also makes a Dark Chocolate Fudge mix too.

If you can’t do wheat, Duncan Hines now makes a gluten-free cake mix.

For icing, Pillsbury makes a variety with just soy. Whipped Fluffy White, Chocolate, Vanilla, etc. Just make sure you double check the label.

Use sprinkles or Betty Crocker Icing spray (found in King Soopers) or make flags to put in cupcakes.
