Demand for gluten free birthday cakes is growing


Gluten intolerance is on the increase, which is commonly thought to be due to the changes in the way food is processed as well as our eating habits.  This has caused a rise in the demand for free from foods, such as gluten free cakes , gluten free birthday cakes and gluten free muffins.  

Children are more susceptible to being allergic to gluten, which is a type of protein that is commonly found in wheat based products.  This specific food allergy is usually inherited and develops within the first 6-24 months of infancy, or when the child begins to eat foods containing gluten.

It commonly causes symptoms such as an upset stomach, weight loss and appetite loss. This can damage the lining of the small intestine, which can cause problems when it comes to absorbing nutrients from food- in some cases this can lead to malabsorbtion.

Gluten intolerance happens because the immune system responds abnormally to the gluten protein found in foods such as wheat, rye and barley as well as other processed foods.  Though this condition cannot be cured there are preventable measures which can help to reduce the sufferer’s risk of experiencing an allergic reaction, such as choosing free from foods.

So if you’re hosting a children’s birthday tea party this summer, to make sure no child misses out on the sugary goodness of the birthday cake, gluten free birthday cakes are the ideal solution.  These birthday cakes look and taste just like regular birthday cakes, so no one will need to know that they have been made with special dietary requirements in mind.

Try free from cakes this National Vegetarian Awareness Month


The beginning of March was the start of National Vegetarian Awareness Month. There are many reasons why people give up meat and other animal products. The main ones are in a peaceful protest against poor animal welfare, to help protect the environment and the beneficial effect it has on their health.

Thanks to new developments in the food industry it’s now easier than even to eat a vegetarian and vegan diet.  Until recently a vegan diet prohibited cake, and other baked goods because they contain eggs.  However, The Healthy Cake Company is a specialist bakery making vegan cakes, dairy free cakes, as well as other free from cakes allowing vegans to eat a very similar diet to a traditional one.

If you are concerned about any of the issues relating to the non-vegetarian, non-vegan diet why not take the opportunity this month to try cooking some vegetarian meals, and try some free-from foods.  You’ll be surprised at the very small difference it will make to the taste of your food and your overall diet- yet it will make a big difference to your health and the planet!

A well balanced vegetarian and vegan diet is made up of lots of fruits and vegetables, which are essential for the vitamins and nutrients they provide the body with. Non-vegetarian, non-vegan diets contain higher amounts of saturated fat, which endangers your body’s health.  They also contain more chemicals as the animals are pumped with hormones and other chemicals, in the process of being reared. 

Vegetarians and vegans usually eat healthier diets, and consequently have a lower risk of being obese, as well as having lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure levels.  Even just switching from a carnivore to a vegetarian diet for just a few days a week can make a real difference, and with all the free from foods on offer you probably won’t even miss meat and animal products!

Spoil your mum with healthy cakes this Mothers Day!


Women are three times as likely to be intolerant to gluten, making treats such as cake and bread strictly off limits. However, thanks to The Healthy Cake Company and their organic cakes you can spoil your mum with a sweet treat in the form of The Healthy Cake Company’s healthy cakes this Mother’s Day!

Studies have shown that women are three times as likely to suffer from coeliac disease, which also known as celiac disease. This is a type of digestive condition which causes its suffers to experience adverse reactions to gluten.  Gluten is commonly found in wheat, barley and rye, and is also used in foods such as pasta, cake, most cereals and bread products. 

When someone who is intolerant to gluten eats these foods, they suffer with the following symptoms; diarrhoea, bloating and stomach pains.   This is because the body’s immune system mistakes gluten for a hostile organism. Then immune system then attacks the gluten protein, which causes damage to the small intestine.

Until recently, a gluten free diet was fairly restricted. However, the market has now caught up with the demand for free from foods, and The Healthy Cake Company is certainly no exception.

This specialist free-from bakery produces a variety of tasty goodies such as dairy free cakes and even customised vegan birthday cakes along with their gluten free varieties. Unlike other bakery goods, The Healthy Cake Company can bake cakes made to order, allowing you to customise your cakes.
So why not spoil your mum this Mothers Day with gluten free celebratory cupcakes or muffins? You can personalise your order to make sure the cakes are tailored to your mum’s dietary requirements and tickles her taste buds too!
