Gluten-Free & Vegan Cakes
We're working on it, but please note we do not currently offer any cakes that are both vegan and gluten free.
Our Vegan Cakes are made with plant-based ingredients and our Gluten-Free Cakes are made entirely without wheat. Please bear in mind that although these products will not be present in your cake they are in use in our bakery so we do not recommend our Gluten-Free cakes for those with severe allergies. Please contact us with any questions.
We've put a lot of time and development into our Vegan Cakes and Cupcakes as well as our Gluten-Free Cakes, Cupcakes and Brownies, so you can be sure they'll be every bit as delicious as our regilar varieties. At Crumbs & Doilies all our cakes are freshly baked and available for collection from us in Soho or Wandsworth, or hand delivery right to your door. Our special London cake delivery service ensures that your cake arrives fresh, beautiful, and ready to impress, anywhere within the M25.
Gluten Free and Vegan CAKE FAQs
Do you do Gluten Free and Vegan Cakes?
Gluten Free: We offer a range of bakes that are made without gluten. Please note that they are suitable for those following a gluten-free diet, but because they are made in a kitchen where regular flour is used we do not recommend them if you have a severe allergy to gluten.
Vegan: We also offer Vegan Cakes and Cupcakes made using plant-based ingredients.
Vegan & Gluten Free: We do not currently offer cakes that are both Vegan and Gluten Free - watch this space!
How do I order a Gluten Free or Vegan cake?
You can order online, by email, or over the phone.
Note: We do not take orders in our Soho shop, however you pre-order online for collection or can buy cupcakes, cookies and brownies in-store on the day!
How much notice do you need when ordering a cake?
We need 1 working days' notice for our cakes but we do tend to get booked up especially at weekends so it's always worth ordering further ahead if possible.
If you've left it late give us a ring on 0208 874 8885 – we’ll do our best to help! Our Soho shop also sells a variety of bakes over the counter every day.
Can you add a message to my cake?
Absolutely! We can add a piped message to your cake (for an additional cost). This can be a simple message such as “Happy Birthday”, a number or the recipient’s name.
We do not pipe our messages directly onto the cake, instead they are hand-piped onto a sugarpaste plaque or banner.
Please note we do not currently offer piping on our Vegan Cakes because our piped icing uses egg white and our plant-based icing is unsuitable for intricate piped messages.
We also offer the option to include a gift card with your delivery - simply add the message at checkout. This won't be shown in your email confirmation so if you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to our Customer Service team who will be happy to confirm your gift message.
How far in advance can I order?
You are welcome to order 3 months in advance online, alternatively as far in advance as a year over email.
Do you offer other Vegan and Gluten Free bakes like cupcakes or brownies?

How should I store my cake?
