My niece is having her first birthday in December. She suffers from severe food allergies that cause gastric bleeding, projectile vomiting, and hives. She is on a very restricted diet. My sister wants to make her a smash cake for her party but it needs to be free from all major allergens.
We desperately need help finding a recipe for a wheat, gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free cake.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We make gluten/dairy/egg/soy-free cakes all the time. Our recipe is proprietary, but it is based on our gluten-free flour mix (rice, sorghum, tapioca, and xanthan gum) and ground flax seeds, with palm oil as the base for the frosting.

We're working on putting together a recipe book, but in the meantime you might want to check out this one by Elizabeth Gordon:

I just happen to come across this. I would think it could easily be turned into a cake instead of cupcakes. Hope this helps!
