My gluten free wedding flavours

All my wedding cakes are made with the finest gluten free ingredients, organic wherever possible.

You'll get two layers of sponge in each cake – or three, if you want tall cakes – made with gluten-free, organic ingredients, with buttercream filling. Choose a flavour! Favourites include Madagascar Vanilla, Lemon Drizzle, Chocolate & Olive Oil, Orange & Almond, Coconut & Lime, Lemon & Vanilla, Chocolate & Orange, Raspberry & Vanilla, White chocolate & Raspberry, White Chocolate & Passionfruit, Red Velvet, and Carrot Cake.

It really is up to you. So if you have a favourite flavour that you'd like to share with family and friends on your special day, I'll work with you to match that flavour in your wedding cake.

If you love fruit cake, I have three fabulous rich fruit cake recipes I'd recommend for a wedding. They're all made with organic fruit soaked in Appleton Jamaica Rum, so you get a fabulously moist, rummy cake. And gluten-free ingredients; my Luxury Jamaica Fruit Cake, a Great Taste Award winner, is dairy-free too. And my Luxury Vegan Fruit Cake is gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free.

Need a dairy free wedding cake?

If you need a dairy-free cake, you could go for a luscious, dark Chocolate & Olive Oil Cake, which won a Great Taste award in 2018. My award-winning Orange & Almond Cake is moist and aromatic, and a popular choice for weddings. Or you could go for a sweet, damp Ginger Cake.

All are made with gluten-free, dairy-free ingredients.

And many of my other cakes can be adapted to make them dairy-free.

Fancy a gluten free chocolate wedding cake?

If you love white chocolate, you could opt for a White Chocolate & Madagascar Vanilla Cake – a gorgeous, soft and sweet cake.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is my Reine de Saba. This dark chocolate cake is made with ground almonds and a splash of Appleton Jamaica Rum (or coffee). It's lightly sweetened, deeply chocolatey, and covered with a luscious dark chocolate ganache. And it's a Great Taste award winner!

If you prefer a layered chocolate cake, I can make you a layered Reine de Saba, filled with chocolate ganache – a popular choice with dark chocolate lovers!

My award-winning Chocolate & Olive Oil Cake has proved a big hit with my wedding customers. This is really luscious, and dairy-free. Layered with buttercream, it's a fabulous cake.

And if you need a vegan wedding cake ...

Love chocolate? I recommend my sweetly soft and scrumptious vegan Mocha Chocolate Cake, made with gluten-free, organic ingredients, and filled with vegan chocolate & 'cream cheese' buttercream. This gorgeous cake won Gold at this year's FreeFrom Food Awards.

Or if you'd prefer something more intense, my dark, rich vegan Dark Chocolate Cake, is made with organic cold pressed virgin coconut oil and Fairtrade cocoa powder, with just a hint of espresso, and frosted with sumptuous dark ganache made with organic 73% couverture and coconut butter.

Very popular with vegan brides last year was my vegan Carrot & Coconut Cake, made with coconut and pineapple, with chopped walnuts, and filled with dairy-free coconut cream-cheese buttercream.

And I've developed a gorgeous new recipe for a gluten-free vegan Orange & Almond Cake, which has been a big success at vegan weddings over the past couple of years.

If you love moist fruit cake, try my Luxury Vegan Fruit Cake. It contains ground almonds, and it's gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free. I can make this cake for you with or without Appleton Jamaica Rum.

Of course, you could always have a cupcake wedding! Click here for some flavour ideas.

How will your cake look?

The simplest finish is a naked cake, with no frosting on the outside. But I prefer the semi-nude look. The skim coat of frosting will protect the cake while it sits out in the open all afternoon on your wedding day.

Buttercream cakes are the most popular choice. A full frosting will provide the best protection. Swiss meringue buttercream is my favourite – it's smooth and silky. And less sweet, because much of the volume is made with egg whites.

If you love a really sweet icing, American buttercream is the frosting to go for. It's made with icing sugar and butter and a little milk, plus your chosen flavouring.

Prefer a smooth,sugarpaste finish? I use the best sugarpaste icing around: Massa Ticino. Lovely and smooth, and excellent taste too.

To decorate your summer wedding cake, the safest and most beautiful option is to use organic edible flowers. Jan Billington started the whole edible flowers thing, at Maddocks Farm in Devon. Her flowers were not only beautiful, and good for you – they were delicious too! Sadly, Jan had to give up the farm in July 2022. But happily, she recommended Aweside Farm, who grow organically in Sussex, and I now get my organic edibles from them. Read more about Aweside Farm here.

Or if you want your cake to echo your floral arrangements, your florist can provide some blooms for the cake. However, florists' flowers have been treated with fungicides to make them last longer, so they're not food safe, and need to be used with care.

The range of fresh, organic flowers is more limited outside of the summer months. If you're getting married later in the year, meringue kisses are a great way to decorate your cake. And luckily, fresh berries, redcurrants and cherries, figs & physalis are also available all year round.

Planning your budget

Your price will take into account the flavours you choose and how lavish you want your cake to look. Prices currently start at £8.00 per wedding portion for a Vanilla sponge with plain American buttercream filling and frosting.

A wedding portion measures approx 1-inch x 2-inch x height of cake; an 8-inch round sponge cake will provide 24 portions.

Or 50 finger portions (measure approx 1-inch x 1-inch x height of cake – basically, a wedding portion cut in half).

If you're paying more than £500.00 for your wedding cake, you'll benefit from my full wedding service. This includes a tasting session (4 flavours), design consultation and delivery and assembly at your London venue.

Tasting

You can't possibly decide on your cake flavours until you've had a taste!

I'll make you a small tasting cake for each of your flavours, to help you choose.

Depending on Covid restrictions, you can either:

- come and share tea and cake with me in SW9;

- or come and pick up your tasters from me and take them home to share

- or I can post them out to you.

Tasters are £25.00 per flavour for sponge cakes, plus p+p.

All my wedding cakes are made with gluten-free ingredients.

Many couples like a different flavour in each tier: most of the tiered cakes in my photos are made up of a variety of flavours.

Click here to see more dairy-free cakes, and here for other vegan and egg-free flavours.

So if you're looking for personal service, and a truly scrumptious 'free-from' Wedding Cake made and delivered with love and care, get in touch so we can talk about what you need.

Ideally I need at least four weeks' notice (more if you need a rich fruit cake), but I can sometimes squeeze in orders at short notice.

I look forward to hearing from you.
