Based in Blackwood in the South Wales Valleys, Just Love Food Company is a family food business set up 12 years ago by husband-and-wife, Mike and Karen Wood. They noticed a gap in the market after struggling to source allergy-friendly celebration cakes for their children, two of whom have severe nut allergies.

Notably, in 2010, Just Love Food Company became the first ever UK celebration cake manufacturer to go completely “nut-free”.

Discover more about Just Love Food Company in the video below and check out my previous post to read more about how the business launched the UK’s first vegan celebration cake into supermarkets back in 2019.

Gluten-Free Madeira Celebration Cake

Launched today, Just Love Food Company’s Gluten-Free Madeira Celebration Cake is not only suitable for coeliacs but it’s also nut-free, peanut-free and milk-free, enabling those with related allergies to have their cake and eat it too.

All of Just Love Food Company’s products are produced on-site in allergen-managed environments using carefully sourced ingredients. The entire factory is completely nut-free, so you can rest assured the products are free of all kinds of nut.

Speaking about the new launch, Mike Wood said, “[It’s] great to offer a solution for gluten-free under our brand, making us even more inclusive.”

Does gluten-free cake really taste as good as regular cake?

So, is it really possible for a gluten-free cake to taste just as good as a regular cake?

Well, after polishing off a few slices myself (all in the name of taste-testing, of course!) I’m pleased to confirm that yes, it is. In fact, I’d genuinely struggle to tell the difference between Just Love Food Company’s new Gluten-Free Celebration Cake and a non gluten-free equivalent.

A moist, fluffy sponge cake sandwiched together with sweet vanilla frosting and and gooey raspberry jam, covered in a layer of soft white icing decorated with multi-coloured stars, each cake serves up to eight people. It would be ideal as a gluten-free birthday cake or as a celebration cake for any kind of special occasion.

In the unlikely event that you don’t polish off the whole cake in one sitting, it’ll keep fresh in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Having opened mine three days ago, I’m pleasantly surprised at just how well it’s kept even just inside the original box.

Served on a silver cardboard base in a recyclable cardboard box, Just Love Food Co. have designed their packaging with the environment in mind, making it a great option for the eco-conscious.

  1. I’d love to give this a try, I’d enjoy it with my Mum as she’s got a birthday coming up and she’s recently started eating gluten free. She’s also a big fan of cake!

  2. I’d love to win for my other half who has an important upcoming birthday and he has a sweet tooth, so would be very happy

  3. Would love to win this cake. My parents have a big wedding anniversary in June and my brother a birthday and a wedding anniversary too. Busy month! Half the family is gluten free so this would be a fantastic gift for our family celebration.

  4. My husband’s and daughter’s birthdays are just six days apart so they share their celebrations. They deserve the cake because of the post retirement fundraising my husband has done for SSAFA and because my daughter is a key worker who has made a huge contribution throughout the pandemic.

  5. Looks amazing! So hard to find dairy free stuff that’ll fit in my diet. I’d definitely keep it to myself ?

  24. This looks like such a tasty cake! I love that it is perfect for those who have allergies, so many things on the market aren’t suitable for them.

    • It’s great that Just Love Food Company are offering such an appealing range of allergen-friendly products.

  25. The cake still looks light and fluffy so you certainly couldn’t tell from visuals that it’s gluten-free. It’s nice that there are more choices out there for people x

    • I thought so – it was really moist and fluffy is a great way to describe it. The icing was delicious too.

  26. It would be nice to keep for when people start coming back round in May. No birthdays coming up but a celebration of seeing everyone again.

  27. I would love to share this with my family this summer. We have lots of birthdays coming up and this would be just right.

  45. I’d give it to my daughter as a treat since her hubby and children often get cakes to scoff when she doesn’t.

  46. I would share it with my mum. We both have coeliac disease and share a birthday cake because our birthdays are so close. We didn’t manage to get organised and get one this year so this would be a great treat.

  59. This would be lovely to share with my family, my birthday is coming up at the end of the month, our youngest son has a few food intolerances so cakes like these are perfect for him.
