Every guest deserves a slice of joy—without worry.

 

Why safe & sweet celebrations matter

Every celebration should feel inclusive. Whether it’s a birthday, baby shower, wedding, or corporate event, you want a cake that everyone can enjoy. At iCakes London, we specialise in egg-free cakes, with vegan options available by pre-order.

 

With shops in Ilford (IG1 4NF) and Gants Hill (IG2 6XG), we’re here to craft beautiful, safe, and delicious cakes tailored to your needs.

Egg-free vs vegan vs free-from: what’s the difference?

  • Egg-free: No egg is used as an ingredient.
  • Vegan: No animal-derived ingredients are intentionally used (including milk and egg).
  • Free-from [allergen]: Guaranteed free from specific allergens, produced under strict controls.

It’s important to note that “vegan” doesn’t automatically mean free from allergen traces. Always check labeling and ask your baker for clear allergen information.

 

The UK’s 14 major allergens

In the UK, these are the regulated allergens:
celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soya, sulphur dioxide, and tree nuts.

 

At iCakes, we handle several of these in our bakery. That’s why we’re transparent about possible traces and use Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) such as “may contain nuts” where needed.

 

How iCakes bakes with allergy awareness

We follow strict routines to minimise risk:

  • Clear allergen communication at enquiry and confirmation
  • Cleaning and separation practices in our kitchen
  • Honest labelling on all orders
  • Staff training for safe handling

While we cannot guarantee 100% allergen-free products due to shared equipment, we take every possible step to keep your cake safe and worry-free.

 

 

The flavours & textures you love - without eggs

Our egg-free cakes are crafted to be just as light, moist, and delicious as traditional recipes. Depending on the design and flavour, we use alternatives you can enjoy indulgent flavours like chocolate truffle, mango, pistachio, or classic vanilla—all made egg-free.

FAQs

Are vegan cakes safe for dairy/egg allergies?
Not always. Vegan means no animal products are used, but there may still be traces from shared equipment. Always check allergen info.

 

Can you make a nut-free cake?
We can avoid adding nuts and reduce risk, but cannot guarantee 0% traces. Please discuss with us if you have a severe nut allergy.

 

What allergens do you handle?
Common bakery allergens such as gluten, milk, soya, nuts, and sesame. We’ll always advise case-by-case.

 

Do you offer halal-friendly cakes?
Yes, our designs are halal-friendly. Let us know your requirements when ordering.
