Dendara

Gluten free heaven

My family have ordered regularly from Denara and love their special diet cakes so I decided to order from here for my wedding this weekend. I bought 2x 10" cakes: one seasonal Black Forest and cherry flavour and one Elderflower Chiffon). The cakes were much bigger than we thought (more like double-height cakes) (we had 50 people coming and each cake is supposed to serve 38 but could easily serve many more). Throughout the evening all our guests commented on how amazing the cakes tasted. Light, flavourful, low (no?) additional sugar, Gluten-free, Soya-Free, and vegan. Made us and our guests very happy and we have so much cake left over! The only area of improvement I would suggest would be to consider working with a delivery company specifically for non-local larger orders (and especially for weddings if nothing else) as the shop team is small and although they were going to deliver themselves in a taxi, it sounded like they couldn't really spare anyone. We didn't have fridges big enough to collect the cakes ourselves as we were not local, and it took a lot of extra stress and back and fourth communication to work out a solution at a time that was already stressful for me trying to organise the rest of my wedding- luckily our caterers were nearby so we ended up arranging a delivery to them - but considering the large spend, I would have thought the shop would already have a special cake courier or similar in mind to help. This may be an idea for the future :) The day of the delivery, everything went smoothly and we will remember these incredible cakes for the rest of our lives!

The ube / taro cheese cake was so good! All the desserts are gluten free and vegan and sugar free (I believe) so you can have them without having to feel guilty if you’re into good diet. Yes the prices are a bit high compared to the other dessert shops but it’s the quality that makes it worth!
