Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 There are many recipes for keto-friendly cakes BUT--they are not really " normal " -per my 10 yr old Keto-Kid and her siblings!! cheesecake triple layer cake hazlenut cake Atkins cheesecake If you can use Atkins ice cream--check the ingredients-- A meal can be calculated to " make-your own sundaes " ice-cream--and my other kids even like the taste--or the party kids can have regular ice cream--already put in the cups and no one will know your son is eating a different kind of ice cream Atkins ice cream-- " whipped heavy cream--with sweetener " " walden farms " -chocolate fudge--no carbs fruit Layer in a birthday cup top with a candle snacks: nuts --especially macadamia nuts for the keto-kid We always opted to skip the food portion of the party Even if you do hotdogs--your son could still feel " left-out " when his is not on a real hotdog bun (there are low carb breads) At 10, my daughter will not even eat at school with her classmates, she always did before, for the first 2 years, but this year, she " feels it " -the difference and says she is embarrassed--even if meals are similar At others parties we always asked the family what they were serving and I would bring her very similar meal-now she would rather not eat at the parties SOOOO=what do we do?? A fun-filled food-less party Bowling, golfing, swimming, paint-ball, ice skating, roller-blading, movies, arcades, --and make sure all the kids families know they need to eat before the party My daughter also gets an extra present--for no " food-bill " And have better " favors " -- the money spent on the food goes into entertainment and " gifts " for everyone All nine year olds like presents and to have an " active-fun " party Guess I am out to change the American way of thinking--even at school--WHY all the food parties-- Most of the keto meals can be prepared to " somewhat resemble-real kids foods " --but sometimes this is not enough for our kids This worked when she was 7 and 8 but at 10--we are seeing her show her independance and " stubborness " --yes that is what the keto diet is designed to do--give us back our kids She was always in a " fog " and so drugged--nothing or everything bothered her She is now making decisions for herself ASK your son what he thinks about his party--of course with the keto limitations My daughter's new saying is: " IT IS NOT FAIR!! " our new saying is: " LIFE IS NOT FAIR!! " She laughs! Sorry there is no easy answer Everyone on this site can give you lots of ideas Have fun and HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY Sandi Mom to Zara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well, my solution is not the most creative but most if not all kids will eat it. I make a sugar free jello pie...just make and pour into a pie plate. We stick candles in it and sing and then everyone gets a slice of jello pie with real whipped cream on top....it's nice because everyone gets the same thing - including the keto kid, for once. Barb Swoyer, Jake's mom Birthday cake Hi everyone What does everyone do for a Birthday cake. My son will be nine this month. Although he is doing great on his diet he is not doing well emotionly the pass few weeks. and his brithday is coming soon. I think that his birthday coming is part of the reason that he is not doing very well Lately and I would love to suprise him with something " Normal " that his friends could eat too. Thanks for your ideas! Ramona Keto April 2003 no meds " The Ketogenic Diet....a realistic treatment option, NOT just a last resort! " List is for parent to parent support only.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Ramona --- The best thing to do is ...do things differently....... Don't focus on the food. Focus on balloons and games. Make it the most fun birthday ever (especially if he's having an emotionally hard time right now). Invite a clown, a man with a monkey, etc. (I'd spend a little extra $$), have it at the local gymnastics place. I would make a few snacks. Some may have a cheese cake recipe you could use. But buy a " 9 " candle and put it in a little candle holder (it fits like a long candle). Make your table festive, with nuts and keto type snacks. Do you have the cookies recipe? Do some fun shapes with SF jello. Bottom line..... be creative & move the focus away from the food.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Cookie recipe (this is from memory) 2 egg whites - whipped with mixer stir in 1/4 cream of tarter stir in ~1/4 small box of sugar free jello place drops (quarter size) onto a greased pan and cook at about 250 degrees for about 13 minutes (until they are getting a little brown on top). You can touch them -- to test, pick one up to make sure they aren't still spongy. I use a baking stone - works good, but any pan will work. We use green jello. They are light & crispy. I give about 5 in one setting (when he's had a meal).

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Two weeks ago I made a coconut cake for my daughter's 11th birthday. I think it was a variation of an Atkins type recipe: 70g ground almonds 71g dessicated coconut 200g coconut milk (per 100g = Pr 1g Fat 9.9g Carb 1.65g) 158g egg (approximation) 59g Double Cream (47.5% fat) Basically mix everything together and cook on a medium heat in the oven until the centre is cooked (test with a skewer or something similar) We put candles on and then after my daughter had blown them out I weighed out her piece. I had already calculated her peice of cake into a birthday meal which also had " pizza " (slice of aubergine base, slowly fried to soak up as much oil as possible then removed from the oil. Some mushrooms sliced (free food for my daughter) and fried slowly then a tiny amount of double cream and ordinary flour added in with some cheddar cheese and some pure tomato paste (also free). This was then poured over the aubergine and some oregano added, thinly sliced tomato (free) and an olive. Obviously these ingredients were all calculated (Stanford meal planner) to a 4:1 ratio. She loved it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Jody, I *love* this idea!! It's fantastic! KimS ------------------------ This may sound odd, but what about making a large amount of banana pancakes, then stack them and cut them the exact same size, making a rectangle. Put frosting in between each layer and then frost the outside too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
