Gluten Free Wedding Cakes
We’ve done lots of research when it comes to gluten free cakes; viewing them, tasting them (it’s a difficult job but somebody’s got to do it!) and we always felt a little bit disappointed. The cakes were usually quite dry and not very tasty, which is something we wanted to change. Gluten free cakes should be just as delicious as standard cakes, so we set out to create something just as yummy.
If you’re sick of settling for dry and crumbly gluten free cakes, and are looking for a gluten free wedding cake that is light and fluffy and taste just like a standard sponge, then look no further! You won't be able to tell the difference between our gluten free wedding cakes or gluten free celebration cakes and our standard sponge cakes.
All of our packages are available with a choice of gluten free flavours, from gluten free whole wedding cakes to gluten free tiered wedding cakes. So if you are looking for a beautiful naked cake that is also gluten free, visit Sponge.
Please note; all of our cakes are baked in the same kitchen and although we do all we can to minimise the risk of cross-contamination we cannot 100% guarantee this.
Vegan Wedding Cakes by Sponge
When you are on a vegan diet, it can sometimes be tricky to find products that suit your requirements. As planning a wedding is already stressful, we wanted to take the stress out of finding the perfect vegan wedding cake, making your special day easy to organise. Our Vegan Wedding Cakes are now available for you to order.
At Sponge we have taken a special interest in perfecting our vegan recipe. We have tasted and tested a range of vegan cakes to create our vegan products. The ones we tried were either dry or stodgy and that just wasn’t good enough for us! Our range of vegan cakes are just as delicious as our standard sponges and most people can't tell the difference. We have received great feedback on both our vegan chocolate cake and our vegan carrot cake recipe, because we worked hard to get our vegan cake recipes right.
We have two options for you to choose from for your wedding cake flavours, each one has its own set of ingredients to make it perfectly flavourful. Here’s more about your choice of vegan cake flavour:
Vegan Chocolate Cake - Soya milk, chocolate and vegan butter create our delicious and indulgent vegan chocolate sponge. Our secret ingredient is coffee which really brings out the chocolate flavour! Nibbed cocoa pieces are sprinkled on top give some added crunch. Filled with our vegan buttercream that is wonderfully smooth, thick and creamy. Made from delicious chocolate, vegan butter and sugar. Yum!
Vegan Carrot Cake - Grated carrots, soya milk, walnuts, sultanas and cinnamon make a deliciously moist vegan sponge. Complemented with creamy vegan buttercream made from vegan butter and a dash of natural lemon flavouring and crunched walnuts on top.
Our wedding cake packages allow you to choose our vegan cake flavours, so whether you’re looking for a vegan tiered wedding cake, vegan wedding cake tower, whole vegan wedding cakes or vegan baby sponge wedding favours, we’re sure you’ll be able to find a wedding cake package to suit your requirements.
How do I order a wedding cake package?
It’s really easy to order your wedding cake, let’s take the example that you want to order a tiered cake. Head over to our wedding cake page you’ll see our range of wedding cake packages, so once you’ve decided which one you want click the buy button. You’ll be taken to the information page for the wedding package where you can choose your product from the drop-down menu and click buy to go through to select your cake flavour; starting with the base layer of your tiered cake. You’ll see a list of flavours that are in alphabetically order which will be the flavour of your base layer. Next you’ll need to choose your middle layer - you don’t need to pick the same flavour; you can mix and match!
To top it all off you’ll get to choose your baby cake flavours, you can have all the same or mix and match here too! Then if you’re happy with your choice, you can either continue to add more products to your order or go through to the checkout where you can enter all of your details and select a delivery date. For our vegan wedding cakes, you’ll be able to select these from the standard wedding cake sections. Our gluten free wedding cakes have their own sections, apart from the baby sponges; there is a selection of gluten free baby sponges in the standard section. Simple and stress-free.
Do Sponge offer wedding cake accessories?
We have two choices of stylish wedding cake toppers you can choose to go with your three tiered naked wedding cake - our simple and elegant wooden Just Married topper or our vintage style just married bunting topper.

Our beautiful tiered wedding cakes and wedding cake towers both come with stands for displaying your cakes at your reception. These can be adorned with fresh flowers and fruit to suit your theme and create a gorgeous display that is sure to blow your wedding guests away in awe.

Wedding Cake Facts
It is thought that eating the crumbs of the wedding cake would symbolise happiness and good life to the newlywed couple. Cutting the cake is known to represent the first activity done as a couple, along with the first dance and bouquet toss. Then the bride and groom feed each other a small bite of cake, as a symbol of a commitment to provide for one another and a show of love and affection. In the past it was tradition for the bride and groom to freeze the top layer of their wedding cake and save it for their first child’s christening.
By the 17th century, wedding cakes were made in pairs; the bride and groom each had a cake which would have been a small fruit cake. However, the groom’s cake was not served at the reception, instead it was cut up and packaged, then given to guests as a wedding favour.
In other countries, the wedding cake would be broken over the bride’s head to ensure fertility and bring good fortune to the couple. In ancient Rome, the groom would smash the wedding cake on the bride’s head. This tradition was done to symbolise male dominance and encourage fertility (we’re glad this tradition has long since faded away). The guests would even rush in to scoop up the crumbs of the smashed cake for their good luck and fertility.
This is one of our favourite traditions. In Peruvian weddings, the cake typically has ribbons attached to charms which are hidden in the cake, one of the charms is a fake wedding ring. During the reception celebrations, all of the single women at the party join in with the “cake pull”. Each woman grabs a ribbon and whoever pulls out the fake wedding ring, per tradition, is said to be the next one to get married.
