please note they are unable to accept cakes that are not labelled with allergen info. So please please collect all relevant labels when collection boxes.
No fresh cream/buttercream/fondant please.
The elderly have modest appetites and prefer traditional flavours such as:- fruit inc apple/pear/rhubarb/apricot- elderflower- victoria sponge- lemon drizzle
We have received requests for gluten free treats, so if you can these would be welcomed. If baking biscuits/flapjacks please keep on the soft side.
