Jell-O gelatin cups - these were always a hit at my older DD's dairy/egg/nut free preschool. We'd do 'sundaes' with coconut whipped cream and freeze-dried berries...the whipped cream is out for you, but could still do sprinkles or freeze dried fruit on top.

Just go with a non edible treat. The kids will appreciate it more than whatever tasteless concoction you come up with.

Only in DCUMland is this an issue. Normal people have a regular treat with other options for allergies. Maybe try that. Not everyone wants a completely allergy free “treat”.

I have a friend who doesn't eat food that contains animal fat because often it has pork. Are you sure this child can not eat any fats?

Fruit skewers is the answer.

Looking for something that I could order from a bakery as I don't have time to prep something myself. Tall order, but interested in crowdsourcing some ideas. TIA.


I would be nut free completely, but provide and clearly identify cupcakes that were dairy free, some and some that are gluten free. Or both if a kid can’t do either. What kid needs fat free?
Okay. I see how a kid has to be fat free.

So, I would get a variety of cupcakes such that each food issue is accounted because no one will want to eat a “cupcake” that is all of them.

What about something involving jello?

Like rainbow Jell-O, or a Jell-O aquarium with Swedish fish

I was going to say this too, but why fat free, OP?


Rice Krispie treats are a good idea. One kid has dietary issues and cannot consume fat. Long story.


Rice, crispy treats are not actually gluten-free for the record. Or rather, they can be, but you have to buy only specific brands of rice crispies style cereal, and the branded rice Krispies have gluten

Gluten free muffins/mini cakes using applesauce in place of butter/oil

Meringue cookies

Fruit, berries

Gummy bears or Swedish Fish

If you don't actually have an answer that adds value, please feel free to scroll on by.


DP but how does this not add value? The obvious answer is fruit.

(Also, fat-free? Why would anyone have that as a requirement?)


For my kid it was severe gastroparesis, but gallbladder disease can cause this too.


Sorry to hear that. I have never heard of anyone needing to be totally fat-free, that must be incredibly difficult to accommodate.

I would do Sundaes with a fat free sorbet or froyo option, and include fat free toppings like sprinkles and gummy bears and jam among the options.
