FRESH CAKE FAQ’s
Can you cater to Celiacs
YES - everything that comes from our kitchen is completely gluten free. We work in a kitchen that doesn’t not have gluten on the premises so this is a safe space for you. This includes our Cake Kits as they are hand filled in our kitchen.
What dietary requirements can you cater to?
At Sage and Grace a main focus for us is to make sure those with dietary requirements are included. Every. Single. Bite is dietary inclusive because we are organic, gluten free, we have dairy free, vegan and refined sugar free options. On request we also have some cakes that do not contain nuts. Please just ask when you order a cake, give us a call, text or email to ask for any requests.
How long do the freshly made cakes last?
Our cakes will last up to 4 days from pick up if they are kept in an air tight container in the fridge. Remember to bring the cake out a few hours before you want to eat it. No one likes cold cake.
Why do your cakes last so well?
We use whole ingredients meaning they have all the parts of the grain. When you are able to hold onto the bran and the germ within the grain you get to maintain the fibre, minerals and vitamins. All of these extra goodies help to hold on to moisture
In a refined flour everything has been stripped out and you only have the endosperm which is the starch. This is the carbohydrate/food for the embryo.
CAKE KIT FAQ’s
How big are the Cake Kits?
This is a question lots of people get surprised by. Our cake kits are filled into a 1L glass jar. When the cake kit is made up to bake it can be made into a classic Sage and Grace double layer 8” cake. This is our most popular size from our freshly made cakes. They cake kits also have the option to be made into multiple smaller cakes, or one 8” layer and the rest into muffin size. The muffins can they be placed into the freezer for a rainy day that you feel like a delish cake.
The cake kit will also make 12-14 smaller muffins.
This make the cake kits the best value oil the market as well as using organic ingredients, being GF, refined sugar free and having the options for DF, and Vegan.
What dietary requirements are covered?
All of the cake kits are organic gluten free, made using our organic gluten free blend and they all have the option to be dairy free. The Strawberries and Cream cake kit is also vegan. If you want to know how to make the chocolate raspberry cake vegan please send an email. All of the cake kits are refined sugar free excluding the gingerbread cake kit.
Why have you chosen glass jars?
In our effort as a brand to be more environmentally conscious we chose to package our cake kits in glass jars as they have so many wonderful uses once the cake kit has been used. You can re-gift something in it, you can fill them with pantry staples, if you are local we love receiving the empty cake kits back as we sterilise and reuse them.
Using glass eliminates single use packaging whether it is compostable or recyclable. It allows us to use and use and use again. The energy that goes in to making any of these resources is so large.
It is certainly not the easy choice, as we have to hand fill and sterilise every jar before use, but this is a choice we made to be kinder to our earth.
