SPECIALTY CAKES - SUGAR & DAIRY FREE CAKES!

It’s amazing the amount of phone calls I get every week asking me sugar or dairy free cakes. I do feel sad when a mom calls me up asking if I am able to bake a cake without sugar because her daughter has type 2 diabetes. Or when a concerned individual is in need of a cake without dairy products because he or she is lactose intolant.

Cakes by Laura has been offering sugar and dairy free cakes for a while now. However, we are a bit limited to the choices of cakes and fillings we can offer. For example, for those clients who are not able to consume sugar due to their diabetes, we offer sugar free chocolate and vanilla cakes, with fresh strawberries and dairy free whipped cream with NO ADDED SUGAR. These cakes come in 6 and 8 inches round, serving between 12 and 16 slices. The cost is $55.

What is lactose intolerance? Lactose is the predominant sugar in milk products. An enzyme called lactase is produced in the small intestine and breaks down lactose so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. People whose bodies do not make enough lactase to fully digest lactose are unable to break down lactose and may experience mild to severe side effects within 30 minutes to two hours of eating dairy.

Cakes by Laura offers dairy free cakes for clients with this special condition. For these type of cakes, we use organic ingredients and dairy free whipped cream for our mousse fillings. This kind of specialty cake is priced per slice and can be obtained in different shapes and sizes. We are able to make an entire wedding cake in this way using fresh organic ingredients.

Have a slice of cake!
