Jackson LOVES to cook, his very favorite channel on T.V is the food network and his all time favorite show is Cake Boss on TLC. Since he has several eating issues, Its been fun to include him in my cooking over the last two years. He comes up with the most random ideas for creating " new dishes". last night is a perfect example- we ate pizza; now obviously with a no wheat/ no dairy diet that makes pizza hard thing to eat. The crust is no good and either is the cheese ( my favorite parts) so we bought a gluten free crust and put sauce and pepperoni and pineapple...it was missing something, so he decided the finishing touch would be sprinkles...yes sprinkles. It wasn't my first choice but since he had his own pizza, it didn't matter, after one slice ( I put the sprinkles on slice by slice) he decided he needed more toppings next time...and no sprinkles.Tomorrow Jack has a preschool v-day party. I knew there was a good chance he would be handed something he couldn't eat..by accident. I have great friends who all try very hard to give his preschool things he can eat, but with such a limiting diet, accidents are bound to happen. Jack and I talked about it and decided we would not do valentine cards but make a yummy gluten free/ dairy free cake for every one! since we spend every day watching pervessionals deal with fondant, we also decided this would be a great cake to try it on! It was fun designing it and putting the pieces together....the recipe was awesome! I have tasted the cake and frosting already. we were going to stick to pink red and white..but last minute jack had to add blue. He did almost the whole cake himself..not bad for 4!
