Being diagnosed with Coeliac disease doesn't have to mean missing out on your favourite sweet treats – Squires Kitchen has many gluten-free products that make baking and cake decorating fun and enjoyable for all.

With Coeliac Awareness Week coming up on 9–15 May, Squires Kitchen is highlighting the many choices available to those with special dietary requirements including the Phil Vickery Seriously Good!™ range of gluten- and dairy-free mixes and toppings.

These delicious mixes make it really easy to achieve great results when baking gluten-free birthday cakes, wedding cakes and other celebration cakes thanks to one of Britain's favourite chefs, Phil Vickery, and the experts at Squires Kitchen. New additions to the range include Natural Vanilla Sponge Cake Mix to make classic light and fluffy sponge cakes, and the Extremely Chocolaty Loaf Cake Mix for a rich, indulgent chocolate cake.

All products in the Phil Vickery Seriously Good!™ Gluten Free range are certified gluten free by Coeliac UK, giving you true peace of mind. You can also rest assured that the entire range is wheat free, dairy free, suitable for vegetarians and contains no artificial colours, preservatives or flavourings.

And if you're looking for cake decorations, Squires Kitchen's ready-to-roll Fairtrade Sugarpaste, Sugar Florist Paste (SFP), Fairtrade Sugar Modelling Paste, Chocolate Ganache Mix and Art-Ice 2-in-1 Cookie Icing Mix are all gluten-free so you can create free-from bakes that are as tasty as traditional recipes for everyone to enjoy together.

For those wanting to get to grips with gluten-free baking by increasing their own baking repertoire, you can come and learn everything about coeliac-friendly baking with the expert tutors at Squires Kitchen International School. Choose from three new classes coming up in 2016 – Gluten-Free Baking: Bread & Pastries, Gluten-Free Baking: Cakes, and Bake and Decorate Cupcakes Gluten-Free. All classes are held at The Grange, a stunning Georgian style building in Farnham, Surrey. These classes are taught by Squires Kitchen's resident baking experts, Marianne Stewart and Bea Harling, who each have a wealth of experience and knowledge in all things gluten-free. Gluten-Free Kitchen Sunday Workshops are also available as a great introduction to baking delicious free-from goodies with ease.

Further advice for baking and decorating for those with special dietary requirements can be found in Gluten-, Nut-, Egg-, & Dairy-Free Celebration Cakes by Gemma McFarlane – a book packed with recipes and tips on how to successfully decorate cakes with allergen-free icings and coverings such as sugarpaste and chocolate ganache.
