Hi K.,

My son (now 11) had a milk allergy. For his 1st birthday cake I made a super simple cake for him. It has 2 ingredients!
1) is Nilla wafers whatever flavor and brand you like as long as it is safe for your daughter.
2) Cool whip! Which is non dairy if you can believe that (at least it was 10 years ago.)

The "cake" is great because you can be creative how you "design" it. The idea is to coat and stack or link the cookies together. And let it sit overnight to soak up the moisture in the cool whip. The cookies soften and they become cake like.

For my son, I made a caterpillar cake. It was super cute. I just made a long link of cookies-with cool whip between and on top of the cookies. Then decorated it to make it look like a caterpillar. He and my guests loved it.

One more tip to anyone who tries this--when you cut it make sure you cut it diagonally so that you are cut many layers of cookies together it looks great and cuts better.

Enjoy-

Hi K.. My daughter was also diagnosed with milk protein allergy at 5 weeks old, and we'll be celebrating her birthday next week as well! For frosting, I use the recipe on the side of the confectioner's sugar box and substitute with Earth Balance butter and either plain rice or soy milk. The consistency of the frosting is always a little off, so add the milk gradually and don't over mix or it will become glue-y. The only recipe I have for cake is for chocolate cake and I've found it makes better cupcakes - the cake tends to be tough and chewy. Otherwise, Duncan Hines cake mixes are dairy-free and make a larger cake.
Here is my recipe:

1 ½ C flour
1 C sugar
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

1 C water
6 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

2. Combine all wet ingredients and quickly stir into dry ingredients. Do not over mix.

3. Pour batter immediately into a greased 8x8 pan or muffin pan lined with paper cups.

4. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (cake) or 20 minutes (cupcakes).

I'd love to hear from you how you are managing your daughter's allergy. We've been told that our daughter will likely outgrow her allergy by the time she is two, and to try exposing her to dairy every six months or so to see if she reacts. She was still reacting at the start of this year, but I'm curious to know how others are moving forward with this issue.

I hope this helps - good luck and happy baking!
