Why we only make fresh cakes

This is our first blog, so we thought we would give a short brief explanation on one of our values 


WHY FRESH CAKES??????

Recently I got asked what is the difference between fresh cakes that Cake Temptations supply, cake mix that cake shops use & processed supermarket cakes? 

So at Cake Temptations we decided to do a little research on behalf of our customers. One of the biggest & worrying issues is Hydrogenated fats & trans fats that are unfortunately in non organic cake mix's & some supermarket cakes.

HYDROGENATED FATS & TRANS FATS

Trans fats are chemically altered vegetable oils. They are produced artificially in a process called hydrogenation which turns liquid oil into solid fat.
These fats are a cheap ingredient used to extend the shelf life of processed cakes & are designed not to change the taste.

They are linked to high cholesterol, heart disease & strokes.Several countries have banned trans fats - in denmark a law was passed in 2003 making it illegal for any food to contain more than 2% trans fats. In the U.K - there is no requirement for the level of trans fats to be included on food labelling.

DO YOU LOVE ANYONE ENOUGH TO GIVE THEM A TRANS FAT CAKE??
