Can cakes change the world? We believe it can! I've had a challenging day, so I am determined to end the day on a positive, right here! Making the world a better place is a challenge for us all, from global leaders to making-small-changers. Cake is fab, we all know that, but bear with me while I tell you why our cakes are making the world just that little bit better. 60% of our cakes are vegan  Vegan diets are not everyone's cup of (non dairy milk) tea. Sure, animal rights may not be everyone's priority, but a plant-based diet has deeper implications than that: There's the wider environmental issues like soil erosion, climate change, and deforestation that a heavily meat based diet can exacerbate. Having a healthy planet should be top of our lists. We, and our grandchildren, will have no other home! Enjoying a more plant-based diet can have a significant impact on our footprint on the planet, from creating less greenhouse gases, to the amount of pressure we're putting on our natural water resources. Vegan cakes can help here, as, among other animal product ingredients, they don't contain dairy milk or butter. Intensive dairy production is known to be environmentally detrimental, so the more vegetable based alternatives we can find here, the better. Have you tried our vegan carrot cake? Our plant powered Victoria Sponge? Find out more here about our popular vegan cakes. With hundreds of recipes, you'd be in safe hands if you order a vegan cake, like 60% of our customers do. Our banana cakes are Fairtrade The Fairtrade movement ensures a fair price is paid to farmers in developing countries. From coffee to chocolate, cotton to tea, so many Fairtrade products are out there... Including our very own award winning banana cake! Right now, you can get 15% off banana cakes for Fairtrade Fortnight, so drop us a line quoting FAIR18 and we'll deliver right to your door.  Cake brings happiness  Happy faces: Two customers enjoying cake in the sunshine There's no denying, a good cake shared with a friend can make your day. We have hundreds of recipes, all wanting to be tasted by you, so why not share a smile with someone today, over a piece of home baked cake? After all, changing the world needn't be only about the big campaigns and movements. Bringing some happiness to someone's day is all part of being human and making the world a better place. Have you tried our Sweet Temptation range yet, inspired by your favourite sweets? How about our low fat / low sugar '280 Skinny' range? You know, we even run a 'guilt free' baking workshop showing you how to make some of these 'healthier' cakes! Have I missed anything? Are there other ways that cake makes the world a better place?

It may be July, with no Bank Holidays and the days are getting (minutely) shorter, but there's reason to kick back and relax, enjoying the taste of our Moor Beer Company cake launch!  We've teamed up with the brewers at Moor Beer Company and have created a delicious chocolate ale cake with their stout. We all love a boozy bake, and especially one as moist as this! The stout has berry and coffee scents, and tastes a little chocolate, which, coupled with our rich cocoa recipe, makes for a perfect chocolate cake. Our gluten free and vegan customers won't miss out, either. Moor's stout is 100% animal product free, and our team have never been baking better gluten free cakes than we are right now. Order a Moor Beer cake before Saturday 15th July and receive 10% off!!! The Moor Brewery was established in 1996 and they're now regarded as leaders in natural beer making. The brewery in Bristol is a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads, and it's well worth taking one of their factory tours. There's more than just stout to this company! We're looking forward to bringing some chocolatey smiles to Bristol and Portishead - just drop us an email at 280bakes@gmail.com or send us a message via our contact page and we'll deliver! The Team @ 280 Bakes and Moor Beer Company |
