This cake was a challenge for me – my first ever gluten AND dairy free cake. I was worried about doing it because I’ve never even made a dairy free cake before let alone a gluten and dairy free one! But since it was my lovely friends birthday who is allergic to both gluten and dairy, I knew I had to have a go at it just so that she could eat cake on her birthday! And I’m really pleased and surprised with how it turned out… I honestly would not have known that it was free from gluten and dairy, just goes to show that even if you are on a gluten or dairy free (or both!) diet you do not have to miss out on yummy food.

As this was a birthday cake I wanted to make it that little bit special so I crystallised some edible flowers to decorate the cake with. This is such an easy and pretty thing to do – simply brush the flowers with egg white and then sprinkle sugar over them and leave to set! I’ll definitely be doing some more to decorate some of my other bakes with. Just remember to only pick edible flowers though!
