    Hey there,

    Im trying to source a gluten and dairy free cake for a friends party...any ideas on somewhere in South Dublin or even.....one that I could do myself?

    I'd really like to get something that looks like a "real" cake, and not just some banana bread type of thing...want her to have a "normal" dessert for a change!

    Thanks!

    For gluten free, meringue is your safest bet. If you are going to bake an actual cake yourself I recommend you bake one as a practice piece first, then taste it and decide whether it would work or not. A lot of GF cakes don't taste as nice as ordinary ones. Also GF cakes go stale very quickly.

    I make gluten free cakes all the time- just with gluten free flour and baking soda- and they're delicious! No one ever notices the difference. For dairy free, just use a butter sub, and lacto free milk if the recipe requires.

    If you're buying a cake, check out http://coeliacpages.ie/antoinettes-bakery/. The place gets good reviews..
