Coeliac Accreditation

Here at Sponge Cakes UK, we've hit a baking milestone that has us feeling pretty chuffed—we've received Coeliac UK's accreditation! 🎉

What does that mean? Well, it means our gluten-free cakes and gluten-free Brownies are officially top-notch, and we've got a separate bakery to prove it. Innovation and inclusivity are our jam, and we're thrilled to share our gluten-free goodies with you.

Behind the Scenes

Getting accredited wasn't a walk in the park. We set up a separate bakery to keep things gluten-free (no wheaty infiltrators allowed!), and our team of bakers worked tirelessly to create cakes that are as safe as they are scrumptious. Let's just say a few cake crumbs were sacrificed in the name of gluten-free perfection.

The journey started with rigorous assessments to ensure our facility met the strict standards for gluten-free certification. This included thorough inspections of our ingredients, equipment, and overall cleanliness to prevent any risk of cross-contamination.

To keep tabs on every ingredient, we whipped up a custom software system. This bad boy tracks everything from supplier to final product, giving us full transparency and control over our gluten-free supply chain.

Finally, after numerous tests, tweaks, and a hefty dose of patience, we nailed the Coeliac UK Accreditation. An accreditation we are so proud of and proves our team's dedication and relentless pursuit of gluten-free excellence.

Why It's a Big Deal

Sure, we love cake as much as the next person (probably more), but receiving this accreditation means a lot more than just having a reason to eat more cake (though that's a pretty good reason). It means people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance can enjoy our cakes worry-free. Everyone deserves a piece of cake, and we're here to ensure everyone gets one.

Innovation, It's How We Roll (Cake)

Innovation is our middle name (okay, it's not, but it should be). We're always dreaming up new flavours and baking techniques to keep your taste buds on their toes. Whether it's a classic Victoria sponge or a daring new flavour combo, we're all about pushing the cake boundaries (and maybe sneaking a few tastes along the way).

Cake for All

Cake is for sharing, and we believe everyone should be able to join the party. That's why we're committed to making cakes that everyone can enjoy, no matter their dietary needs. Gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free—we've got a cake for that. Because happiness is a slice of cake that everyone can eat.

What's Next?

With our accreditation in hand, we're not stopping anytime soon. We've got our eyes on the oven and our hearts set on baking up more gluten-free goodness. New flavours, new ideas, and maybe even a few surprises (but mostly cake).

So, whether you're gluten-free or just cake-curious, we invite you to join us on this delicious journey. Follow us on social media for cake updates, baking tips, and maybe even a cake pun or two (we can't resist). Let's make the world a sweeter place, one slice at a time.

You will now start seeing the Crossed Grain symbol on all of our Gluten-Free products.
