calling experienced parents of CMPI toddlers.


I am after a birthday cake for my sons 2nd birthday. He is allergic to cows milk protein and soya intolerant so I am after any alternatives. Any recommendations for a bakery or recepies for home making (gulp) would be very gratefully received. Many Thanks in advance.

I can help, my son is the same (now six and with 2 younger siblings, so I've done many dairy free cakes!!). I usually do a chocolate fudge cake which is pretty foolproof and can be whittled into trains/hedgehogs whatever fairly easily. Let me know if you would like the recipe.

But most recently I have discovered a vegan sponge which actually works. It's on this blog - - - the page is about a complicated mousse cake but I just used the sponge recipe. The vegan buttercream is nice too - I use pure sunflower marg as the base (sainsbury's).


Hold on I just realised you are not needing egg free - that makes things much easier! Any recipe will do fine, just substitute any butter with Pure sunflower spread, and any milk with oat milk, formula or whatever you usually have.

Hi, For the lazy Mummy option :-). My son also has a CMPI and I have used Ms Cupcake in Brixton (near the market)http://www.mscupcake.co.uk/ . The cakes are super sweet to my palate but my one year old son, his 3 year old brother and their friends definitely approved.
Another option is making an olive oil cake - no need for butter etc. Usually fruit is used to sweeten, but there are chocolate cakes that can be made. Come out moist and delicious! Easy recipe in the baby-led weaning book for an apple cake. Probably won't be popular for a birthday though!

    • These events were unforeseeable whereas the effects of Truss's reckless budget could have been foreseen despite her unshakeable and deluded beliefs and could, should have been avoided
    • I called James and he said he's now retired 😞
    • Don't forget the impact of the last banking crisis, covid, furlough and the energy price impact on the economy or aren't those factors that caused a financial black hole in your view of the world? 
    • Oh dear! The general response is that my experience of Jon Hartley is the norm. That’s bad. As an update to my issue with him, Ellie Reeves’ office advised that I contact the Southwark Labour Party Chief Whip in the first instance with my complaint. Coincidentally, the Chief Whip turns out to be Cllr Maggie Browning. She acknowledged my complaint and, in response, said that she had ‘spoken’ to Jon Hartley and appeared satisfied that he’d now responded to me. Not sure that’ s an adequate response, since it seems to been well-known that he consistently ignores constituents. Maggie will know that better than anyone as she’s paired with Jon in our Ward, and she’s having to pick up the stuff which he’s ignoring. As people have noted, Maggie does indeed respond to constituents but she’s now on maternity leave. Alas, I think that means we’re lumbered with just Jon. I’ve bypassed him in respect of my own issue, because I think he’s a waste of my time. In case anyone else should be having problems with him, especially now that Maggie Browning is away, I’d recommend emailing Ellie Reeves MP. Her office is very responsive in my experience and, if she hears from enough disgruntled constituents of Cllr Hartley, I imagine she be quietly speaking to the Southwark Constituency Labour Party about him. Ultimately, if he stands again, he won’t be getting my vote. Be annoyed people, be very annoyed ! Your vote should count for something and the candidates privileged enough to get it should do the job they were elected for!
