More Food Allergies... Maybe

Poor child!  One night for dinner we gave him pumpkin for the first time.  The next morning he woke up with a swollen left eye and red rash splotches on his left cheek.  We can only assume it was the pumpkin since he wasn't exposed to anything else out of the ordinary that day or night.  After a quick check in with the Dr. we now have a new and improved "Foods to Keep Matthew Away From" list.
Mango
Strawberries
Oranges
Eggs
Nuts & Peanuts
Chocolate
Seafood
Dairy
Carrots
Pumpkin
Yams/Sweet Potato
Potato
Turnips
Beets
Tuber/Root Veggies
Also: Fabric Softener & Detergent with dyes or fragrance as well as perfumes/colognes.

SUPER SAD PART...
Little Man doesn't get a birthday cake!  Not a real one anyway.  I was told by his Dr. that we'll be avoiding eggs and dairy until he is at least 18 months old.  Maybe even longer if new allergies keep popping up.  Anyone have a good recipe for a gluten free, vegan, cake recipe?
