Am making cakes for DS birthday party. One guest is gluten free and one is egg free. I have gluten free flour and am hoping to find egg re[placer in a health shop this afternoon so I can have cake everyone can eat.
My questio is - will these both together make the cakes taste very different/unusual?? Would it be ok for everyone taste wise to make all the cakes gluten and egg free olr shall I make some as normal and then a few egg and gluten free so there is an option?
Any ideas??

sadly - it won't work. It is impossible.
It will be a birthday biscuit

DS2 has gluten and dairy allergy. I also was advised to avoid eggs and spent ages looking for a combination recipe but it is impossible.
To make a cake you need either gluten or egg.But you have to have one or the other

If it is any consolation I do two every birthday too....

Gluten free - I always use ground almond instead of flour, you can buy GF baking powder to help it rise.

Egg free - very hard to find a replacement for eggs which tastes as good.

If i was you i would make chocolate rice crispy cakes, decorate with smarties/sweets.

Thank you for your help. That has saved me disastrous cake attempts!
Will make one batch with egg and gluten free flour I think and then go for some crispy cakes too. Great idea.
Thank you both!
