Punkin is almost one! Time for birthday cake. :cake

He has both dairy and gluten sensitivities, so I would prefer something w/o them. He's not exactly eating much yet, so, it might not really matter, but I'd rather it be something that won't irritate his eczema. I did find a cake mix that isn't too bad. It's this one. http://www.glutenfree.com/Gluten-Free-Pantry-Old-Fashioned-Cake-Cookie-Mix/Item126029M Though, looking on that site I saw some other yummy ones. I wonder if my local store would have them. :think
Anyway, if you have any suggestions, I would love them. If you know of a better mix, or even a recipe from scratch, that would be great. I also need some sort of frosting. I would rather use natural sweeteners. But, I can't really seem to find something that is dairy free, and not chocolate.

Here's another good one from Gluten-free mommy (my fav gf blogger :heart) http://glutenfreemommy.com/hummingbird-cupcakes/ She uses butter but says a non-dairy substitute works too.

And if you need an ice cream recipe, this one looks yummy :yum and can be made dairy-free.

Thanks for all the replies!

I will see what I can find in the Namaste brand. I did find some really yummy looking things on those blogs, though. It's gonna be a tough decision. :)
