sarah99 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Does anyone know of anywhere that makes celebration cakes (or any cake to be honest) that are suitable for allergy sufferers? I need a nut free and egg free cake for my sons baptism. I've found a company called heavenly cakes in London but not much else! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiggs Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Steel City Cakes on Abbeydale Road (near The Broadfield / Sheldon Road crossroads) may be able to help. They certainly do egg-free vegan cakes, and gluten free - maybe they could help with a nut-free too? https://www.facebook.com/SteelCityCakes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Steel City Cakes on London Road are happy to do all sorts of gluten free, vegan and nut free cakes, and I can testify that you'd never know that their vegan cakes were vegan unless they told you (and missing the nuts out can't be that hard if you're careful, can it?).

Mayfly182 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 +1 vote for Steel City Cakes! They do the best vegan and gluten free cakes I've tasted. I'm sure they'd do nut free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah99 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thank you guys. Will give them a call. It's a bit tricker than just not using nuts in the recipe because of cross contamination in the cooking area but hopefully they can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyd Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm a Gluten Free Cake Decorater home based, no CC here as we only have GF in the House, can cater for most other Allergies too, however l couldn't 100% guarantee Nut Free x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoffive Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Nut allergy is not to be taken lightly, it isn't just a dietary fad- it can be life or death to a sufferer. Cross-contamination has to be 100% avoided, by sourcing and checking ingredients that are guaranteed not to have been produced in a factory that uses nuts. And by prepping and cooking in a separate area that has not been used for anything containing nuts. Better safe than sorry. New legislation has been brought in recently putting the onus on producers of cooked food (cafes, restaurants etc), and a restauranteur has been charged with manslaughter for causing the death of a diner by using the wrong ingredients.

That's why l won't risk Nut Allergy Baking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoffive Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You are very wise not to, if you are at all unsure. Sometimes, people don't realise how serious the problem is, it can be fatal. And there are so many hidden ways in which traces of nuts can be present. So well done to you for recognising the pitfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
