What can I give a 5 year old party guest who's allergic to eggs and nuts ...

[Snowstorm]

I was going to do mergingues and fairy cakes for the sweet part of the party tea but both have egg in. What would be a treat for someone who has both these allergies? Poor girl.

Thank you for the tips 'Tatt'!

Thank you for the thank yous, that's really nice of you, but prior to this thread I kind of assumed that most mums would make an effort IF they knew in advance that they were having guests to their houses who had to avoid certain foods. Depending on what I find in Sainsburys I will either buy something in or I'm happy to make a second cake or something for the 3 kids involved, if I can find a recipe which covers dairy, eggs and nuts. I'm a stay at home mum and both the DD's are at school and so I have time to be able to think these things through (and I like baking), so I'm very fortunate.

I want all the children to have a happy time with us (particularly as their parents won't be there and some of them don't know me so well) and a nice plateful of tasty food - I'd feel like I'd failed a child if it could only eat the crisps while everyone else was tucking in to party food.

PS. They won't appreciate the effort as they are only 4 and 5 year olds ... but I'll know I did my best for them, and that's what counts

... believe me you would be surprised. Once when I handed DD over at a party with her own cake and EpiPens the mother looked scared witless and said 'errrr, well, she knows what to do with these things doesn't she' .... DD was 7 at the time.... suffice to say I stayed!

Just wanted to add to what others have said re you making the effort. It's so nice and I know that I would certainly appreciate it. I don't expect people to just cater for DD so normally I give her stuff to bring to parties and she's very nervous about food anyway and might not trust to eat something that I haven't okayed. A couple of times, people have made DD's 'special cake' for their own children's parties and I just thought it was so nice that people were trying to include her and not make her feeling different - it's so much appreciated!
