Every birthday in my household, we have a tradition that you MUST have a birthday cake with candles. A popular choice is Cadbury's chocolate. Well this year was the first that I wouldn't be able to have a regular cake :(
My boyfriend's mum is literally a master of cakes. She bakes them and decorates them perfectly. Why she isn't running her own little cake decorating business as her full-time job, I'll never know! As a surprise for me this year, my boyfriend and his mum made me a gluten-free birthday cake beautifully decorated and it was amazing.
It was chocolate layered sponge with chocolatey butter-creamy goodness in the middle. She cut out the butterflies herself out of icing and sprinkled it with stars. I think it's really beautiful. The sponge tasted and felt just like regular sponge, thanks to slow cooking and Xanthan gum. Homemade gluten free cakes for any occasion are a perfect substitute to regular cakes for people with allergies, just remember to make sure the baking powder is gluten free too! :)
