SIL's 40th birthday and she's currently on a very restricted diet whilst breastfeeding my nephew who is allergic to lactose, gluten, eggs, soya and nuts

Aw muddy - you are so kind and caring. How's your nephew doing? It must be super-exhausting for them both, new(ish) baby and all the worry about his ecxzema. Has the condition stabilised?

Are you going to trial the cake, or is it going to be a surprise? Choco-avo cakes are supposed to be super lush.

:T Bravo for being so thoughful

Poor things. But bravo to sil for continuing the bf journey

What about a pavlova?
I think homemade meringue should be fine from the list you've given.
Use an alternative for the cream almond or oat cream and fruit.

Forget that, just seen eggs are on the list too.

There is a website called https://www.piginthekitchen.co.uk that does lots of varieties of 'free from' baking recipes. It's no longer updated so lot's of the pics are missing but the recipes and blog are still there.

I find a lot of vegan/grain free recipes contain ground almonds but you can replace ground almond in most recipes with ground sunflower seeds. Whizz them in a blender until they are in crumbs, too much and they turn into butter.

The above cake looks nice.

Thank Greying

The eczema seems to be under control *touch wood* He's still itchy but no longer on the strongest ointments/creams.

Not sure if I'll have time for a trial run as the next couple of weeks are going to be a bit hectic.

Not sure if it's the yolks or the whites (or both) that he's allergic to but if I avoid eggs altogether then my vegan brother can eat it as well!
