New! Iced Gem Bakes & Cakes
Your guide to Cake Decorating for Special Diets

Gluten free - Dairy free - Vegan - Wedding Cake Decorating Book.

Many cake makers are reluctant to make cakes for special diets as they don't know enough about ingredients or what people can or can't eat.

In this guide I will be offering over 200 pages of advice on diets, cross contamination, wheat and gluten free, dairy free, egg free and vegan cake recipes and tips / techniques for decorating celebration cakes.

About me

My name is Gemma Mcfarlane and I've been catering for special diets for more than ten years. A professional pastry chef, I set up Iced Gem Cakes, making celebration and wedding cakes. I specialised in gluten, wheat and dairy free baking.

Many people think having special dietary requirements means they have to give up their favourite foods, but that needn't be the case. I've spent years researching ingredients and creating gluten free recipes that anyone can follow to make their own delicious cakes, pastries and treats.

By putting my dairy and gluten free recipes together in this website I hope to introduce you to the joys of gluten-free and dairy-free baking.
