Gluten free Unicorn Cake!
This one is for Mary, a sweet and kind sister in our branch who has been a good friend to me and to our family. She's gluten-free, which made this into a fun challenge!
(For example, I now had to consider whether a gluten-free cake would hold together in a spherical pan (it did), and if it would still taste like cake after twelve hours. This was a lot of fun to experiment with).
I tried a couple different gluten-free cake mixes and was actually really impressed with the quality.
The one we used was a King Arthur-brand chocolate cake mix, and it was REALLY GOOD. I found myself snacking on the extra cake bits without even adding frosting-- it was that tasty.
Gluten-free friends, do not go out and buy a fancy, super-expensive gluten-free birthday cake! Just go to Target and buy this cake mix instead. It's utterly fantastic.
(We also tried a Pillsbury Funfetti mix which was quite good, but the King Arthur cake was definitely my favorite.)
Here's more pictures and a video of the final product!
Happy Birthday, Mary!
