A special request for this cake. It had to be dairy free so that Layla could actually have a piece of her own cake.
Vitalite was used in the sponge and Lactofree spread in the buttercream icing between the cake and the fondant.
Layla's a very keen (and very good) gymnast who practices alongside Tia, which is the other gymnastic cake I made that week. So she just HAD to have a cake to celebrate her achievements in gymnastics.
Her mum told me she loved the cake and was excited to be able to eat a slice as it was specially made dairy free just for her. Every little girl deserves a birthday cake that she can have a slice of, don't you think?

Your cake is fabulous and I think there is a whole other market in 'free from' decorated cakes. Yes, every child deserves a birthday cake they can eat safely. Well done you!
