1. our story
Our mixes were created
at a kitchen table, inspired
by a passion for high
quality ingredients to
create a truly home
baked taste. We have
built our reputation on
these simple principles.
We are now stocked in
Holland Barrett, Jamie
Oliver, Harvey Nichols,
John Lewis and Booths.
2. We have become
experts in creating
exceptional gluten
and dairy free cakes.
The Free From Market
is worth £365 million
and is set to grow £550
million in the next three
years. No longer a niche
marketplace this is now
a mainstream shopping
option for all.
