At the end of this summer, my young son was diagnosed with Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS). People with this tick-born disease exhibit of range of symptoms and allergies, and because we are at the beginning of figuring out what he can safely eat, we’re proceeding with caution. Even though he hasn’t shown reactions to dairy, this ingredient is still being limited. What we know for sure is that he reacts to mammal meat and by products (which seem to be in everything). On the heels of drastically changing his regular diet, and with the holiday season fast approaching, I was thrilled to find an allergy-safe alternative to the classic holiday tradition of decorating gingerbread houses: The Tomte Cake set.

With a young son recently diagnosed with the disease, Jackie Richardson makes an Alpha Gal friendly cake, using safe ingredients, in her new The Tomte Cake pan.
