Celebrating Our Gluten-Free Journey

From Home Studio to National Spotlight

As the owner and sole cake artist behind Celebrity Cakes Ltd, I’ve always believed that gluten-free shouldn’t mean “second best.” Every cake, from our award-winning wedding centrepieces to our playful cupcake bouquets, is crafted with the same artistry, premium ingredients, and allergy-aware care that I’d want for my own family. That’s why being included in a Guardian article feels extra special.

The article highlighted our cake slice gift box that we sell through Etsy, with our unique approach: personalised gluten-free cake slices through the post.

What This Feature Means for Gluten-Free Baking

For years, gluten-free options were an afterthought in the baking world. But things are changing, and I’m so proud that Celebrity Cakes Ltd is part of this movement. Being featured in The Guardian is more than just a lovely headline—it’s a chance to reach new people who might be searching for safe, specialist bakes. It’s an opportunity to help more people celebrate special moments, even from afar. Whether it’s a birthday, a thank you, or a “just because,” our cakes can continue to brighten tables nationwide.

Celebrating Our Achievements

Celebrity Cakes Ltd has been crowned ‘Confectioner Extraordinaire’ at the North Notts Food and Drink Awards and named a Star Seller on Etsy. We’ve also been the exclusive Nottinghamshire wedding cake designer for Weddings and Honeymoons Magazine and a finalist in The Wedding Industry Awards—proof that gluten-free can be the gold standard for taste and artistry.

Let’s not forget our beloved mascot, Thomas the Gluten-Free Squirrel™. Thomas brings a sprinkle of woodland charm and a dash of fun for limited edition product runs, from printable gifts to our Instagram stories. He’s a cheeky reminder that safe baking can be joyful and creative. He'll be stepping into the limelight once more with our products for Christmas.
