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!

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
