Here at L.D.H Cakes & Desserts we take allergies or lifestyle changes seriously.
We are proud to offer a wide variety of premium quality cakes & treats that are free from common allergens such as wheat, gluten, barley, rye. Our ingredients are of the highest integrity, fair-trade, organic and local whenever possible.
Our philosophy is that when you take out all the over processed, allergy triggering, immune depleting, low quality ingredients, you’re left with only the best options to choose from. Organic, unrefined, and allergen-free ingredients that are packed with so much flavour you can literally taste the difference.
