Need a milk-free birthday cake recipe

Nichola - posted on 05/07/2009

Hey I have a baby who has the same milk allergy. All we did was use a normal recipe but use 'Pure' a dairy free sunflower oil based margarine as a substitute for normal margarine. It was delicious. For buttercream filling, again just use the dairy free spread and icing sugar. Check out kinnerton chocolate it's milk free (sold in tesco) also there is a soya based, chocolate buttons for sale in the free from range at tesco's!! Hope this helps. Other than that Cakeworks in Bangor are brill for making special cakes for allergies!! Have a special day!!
