Read This First
Our gluten-free cakes are built from ingredients that contain no gluten, with dedicated flour blends, separate tins and a full clean-down before the bake. We cannot call them gluten free in the regulated sense. That claim needs verified testing below 20ppm, which no home kitchen can produce. These cakes are not suitable for coeliac disease.
If you avoid gluten by choice, or have a mild intolerance and accept a small trace risk, we’d love to bake for you. Same flavours, same finishes, same decoration.
Being Straight With You
The same policy applies to every free-from order we take.
What we can do
Dedicated free-from ingredients, separate equipment, clean-down before every free-from bake. We make vegan cakes the same way, and the two recipes combine on one cake.
What we can’t do
No. We are a home bakery, not a segregated commercial kitchen, and cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.
We do not take orders for coeliac disease, anaphylaxis, or any allergy where a trace could cause serious harm. Someone’s health would be resting on a guarantee we cannot honestly make.
Ordering a free-from cake means accepting that trace risk. Full ingredient lists come with every order. Read the full allergen policy.
Case by case
Most of this is easier to answer on a case by case basis. Tell us what you need and you will get a straight answer, including when the answer is no.
That covers preferences, mild intolerances and anything in between. Coeliac disease and severe allergies are the exception, and the answer there is no.
Flavours
Our full flavour list works on a gluten-free sponge. Two of them need one ingredient swapped, and we confirm that with you before we bake.
Gluten-free sponge is more tender than wheat sponge, so we bake and dowel tiered cakes a little differently. It does not change how the cake looks.
Finishes are unaffected. Buttercream, fondant, drips, fresh flowers and modelled toppers all work on a gluten-free sponge, and every decoration is checked for gluten.
Pricing
A gluten-free cake costs the same as any other cake of that size, finish and design. The flour costs us more, and we don’t pass that on.
Themed, character and milestone cakes from £45, priced by size and finish.

See wedding cake pricing →Tell us at enquiry stage that you need a gluten-free recipe. It changes how we schedule the bake, so we can’t add it late.
Questions
What people ask us most, answered straight.
No. We are a home bakery, not a segregated commercial kitchen. Our cakes are made to a gluten-free recipe with no gluten-containing ingredients, but the same kitchen handles wheat flour every week, so traces cannot be ruled out. We do not accept orders for anyone with coeliac disease.
In the UK, 'gluten free' is a regulated claim: the food has to be verified at under 20 parts per million of gluten. That is a laboratory test we cannot run on a home kitchen, so we say our cakes are made to a gluten-free recipe instead.
The cake is built from ingredients that contain no gluten - gluten-free flour blends, with fillings and decorations checked for wheat, barley, rye and oats. We bake it with separate tins and utensils after a full clean-down. It suits a preference or a mild intolerance, not a medical requirement.
People who avoid gluten by choice, and people with a mild intolerance who accept a residual trace risk. If a trace of gluten would make you seriously unwell, please do not order from us.
Cream Tea, Lemon Dream, Chocolate Fudge, Marble, French Toast and Tiramisu all work on a gluten-free sponge. Rocky Road and After Eight need their biscuit or sweet element swapped, and we confirm that with you before baking.
The same as any other cake of that size and design. Birthday cakes start from £45 and wedding cakes are quoted individually. Gluten-free flour costs us more, but there is no free-from surcharge.
Yes, we bake both together regularly. Tell us at enquiry stage so we can plan the sponge and the buttercream as a pair, because the two recipes affect one another.
Yes. We deliver across South Wales including Cardiff, Newport, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Brecon and Hereford, and cakes can be collected from our home bakery in Ebbw Vale.
