Birthday cake?
My birthday is Thursday and I need dessert ideas. I'm in the worst flare I've ever had, so I need to stick with the Usually Bladder Friendly foods. I can't afford or have time to buy Oetker's mix online and because I have CFS/fibro, I need something quick and easy. Any ideas? Thanks!

how about a homemade cake? you could do a simple butter cake recipe with a homemade frosting with stuff you probably have in your pantry. add some fresh blueberries and yum. if you have a mixer, even a hand mixer, you can take heavy cream and make fresh whipped cream for the frosting. I use an immersion blender to make mine and it is to die for.
This is a great yellow cake recipe and super easy: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-diy-yell-1-14637

Re: Birthday cake?
How about an ice cream cake. If you are okay with graham crackers, you could make that your crust and then put the ice cream on the top. Sprinkle some of the graham crackers on top and then whipped cream.
If you are okay with caramel, you could warm some up for the top of the ice cream.
You could make a crust out of any cookie you are okay eating.Comment
