Student Love
I don’t usually make vegan or gluten-free cakes, but I wanted to try some of the new recipes. OMG, the gf + vegan vanilla cake ( I added some lemon zest) with the vegan lemon curd and vanilla Swiss meringue was so delicious, you would never know it was gf+ vegan.

I’m a private chef for guests who travel up to Royal Deeside! I’m just back from 2 weeks of cooking, where 4 of the guests were vegan. I decided to make the vanilla vegan and the raspberry curd - I didn’t actually tell all the guests that it was vegan! They absolutely devoured it and couldn’t believe it was vegan!
Thank you so much for this course and expanding my repertoire of vegan baking! xx
– Emily ferriesGluten-Free & Vegan Cake Course
I have finally got around to baking from the first cake school recipes and boy was it delicious - that wasn’t just my opinion, everyone enjoyed it. White chocolate and lime cake with coconut and lime buttercream. I didn’t have time to make the lime curd, so I added a lime sugar syrup to the sponge and also some toasted desiccated coconut. It was so good! Thank you ladies for sharing your delicious recipes!– Linda Hatcher, Gluten-Free & Vegan Cake Course

Ladies you’ve done it again… smashed it out of the park with another fabulous selection of bakes . This weekend I tried a couple of the gf recipes as a test run on my family for Father’s Day.
