Every flavour vegan, nine of the twelve gluten-free, baked on Mondays in the clean kitchen before the flour comes out, at the same price
Vegan and gluten-free
Vegan cakes in all twelve flavours (Swiss meringue made with aquafaba, butter replaced with a plant block, the same sponges) and gluten-free cakes in nine, baked on Mondays when the kitchen has been cleaned down and before any wheat flour is opened, in their own tins, and boxed before the week starts. The same price as every other cake, and they appear on the estimate page the same way.
A vegan cake should not be the sad one on the side, and a gluten-free cake should not be a risk. So both are baked on a Monday, when the shop is closed and the kitchen has been cleaned down from the week, before a single bag of wheat flour is opened, in tins that are used for nothing else, and boxed and labelled before Tuesday.
Vegan: all twelve flavours, with a plant butter block in the sponge, aquafaba for the Swiss meringue buttercream, and a dark chocolate ganache for fondant that is vegan anyway. The bara brith loaf has a vegan version with flax. Vegan cakes taste like our cakes; at tastings people pick the vegan lemon without knowing. Gluten-free: nine of the twelve flavours (not the red velvet, the carrot and walnut or the bara brith cake, which do not work), with a rice and almond flour blend milled for us; the shop still handles wheat, so we say "baked separately", not "coeliac-safe kitchen", and the allergen sheet goes with every cake.
Both are the same price as everything else, and both can be one tier of a wedding cake while the others are not, which is common: a vegan bottom tier for the guests who need it and the cutting tier for the photograph. Nuts: the carrot and walnut and the bara brith cake have nuts, the almond flour is in the gluten-free blend, and the kitchen handles nuts every day; for a nut allergy, talk to us before ordering.

Questions about vegan and gluten-free
Is the gluten-free safe for coeliacs?
It is baked separately on a cleaned-down Monday with its own tins and a flour blend that contains no gluten, and many coeliac customers eat it. We do not claim a gluten-free kitchen because the shop handles wheat the rest of the week.
Can one tier be vegan and the others not?
Yes, and we label it on the stand so the caterer cuts it for the right guests. It is a common request and costs nothing extra.
