FAQs
Allergies & Dietary Requirements
Are your cakes, bakes and dessert table allergen-free?
Lone Wolf Bakery is a small bakery set up. Although we try our best to reduce cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any of our products are 100% allergen-free. For vegan/dairy-free products, we wash and clean down utensils and areas to avoid contact with any animal-contained products such as eggs and gelatin.
Do you make and sell Vegan Cakes?
We try to offer a varied selection of cakes and bakes for all to enjoy. We try to ensure we offer at least 3 Vegan products on our counter. As aforementioned in the Allergen Notice, Vegan products, we wash and clean down utensils and areas to avoid contact with any animal-contained products such as eggs and gelatin.
Do you make and sell gluten-free cakes?
We do try to offer gluten-free where we can. We have a strict clean down and storage procedure at the bakery, however, due to the small size of our bakery, we cannot guarantee our products be 100% gluten-free due to cross-contamination.
Are your products Halal?
The majority of our cakes and bakes are Halal, however, we do recommend that you ask us before purchasing. We occasionally use ingredients which contain gelatin.
Wedding and Special Event Custom Orders
I would like a custom cake; how far in advance do I need to order this?
Our cakes are very popular! We operate a block booking system when we intermittently open our custom/wedding cake diary, and allocate custom orders in such a manner. For wedding cakes, we recommend booking as far as 6 months in advance of your event. For special occasion cakes and dessert tables, we recommend 3 months in advance.
To book a custom order, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure the booking. Once a deposit is received, your customer order will be confirmed and we will be in touch for a consultation with you about your options. We regret that we cannot take on short notice custom orders with less than 4 weeks' notice.
Do you make themed cakes for weddings and special occasions?
Our Signature cakes have become a speciality with our customers. Our rustic, minimalist style has become our identity which we are very proud of. For themed cakes which require sugar-crafted elements, and custom bake shapes, which are not in keeping with our Signature Style, we can point you in the direction of who we recommend locally, who may be best at fulfilling your request.
What are your prices for wedding and custom cakes?
Prices purely depend on what kind/size of cake you require. To request a price menu, please reach out to us at lonewolfbakery@hotmail.com.

Do you deliver and set up wedding cakes and dessert tables?
We do offer a delivery and set up of our wedding cakes and dessert tables. There is an additional charge based on the distance we need to travel from the bakery and the time which is required to set up your order. This will be stipulated in your custom order quote.

Our Waste Protocol
What happens to the leftover product at the end of the day?
Luckily, we very rarely have leftover products at the end of the day. When we do, we offer these to the Too Good To Go service.
What do you do with your bakery waste?
We’re very proud to run a minimal waste operation.
All recyclable items are either reused or recycled by the local council. Compostable waste such as coffee grounds and egg shells are taken home for home composting, and surplus fresh batter and dough from our bakes are made into something delicious which might not feature on our menu for that day.
The use of plastic and non-biodegradable materials we use is kept to a very minimum and substituted for a greener alternative where possible.
