Can You Make a Gluten-Free or Dairy-Free Custom Cake?

Dietary needs should not mean a worse cake. Because everything is made from scratch, there is real room to adapt, and to be honest about what is and is not possible. Here is how dietary cakes work at Cakes by Steph.

Scratch baking gives you options

From-scratch means controlling every ingredient, so flavors and recipes can be adjusted rather than pulled off a shelf. Many dietary requests can be accommodated when planned ahead.

How to plan it

Share your dietary needs when you reach out and again at the tasting, so flavors and design are planned around them from the start. The earlier we know, the more we can do.

A note on serious allergies

For severe allergies, please tell us directly so we can talk honestly about what is safe. A small-batch kitchen handles many ingredients, so we will be clear about what we can and cannot guarantee for cross-contact.
