Ever had an instance at a creche, party, play-gym where someone has given your child something that made them ill? How do you keep your child safe? That's where Allergy Buddies comes in. It is a brand of products to help others easily identify your child's allergy/intolerance.

Helping children with food allergies live safe, happy and healthy lives... filled with fun and adventure! Created by an auntie to help her niece manage her food allergy and the adventures grew from there... There's no doubt food allergies are serious, but I thought why can't learning how to manage them be seriously good fun? Using my graphic design skills I created a world of loveable characters with food allergies. During their adventures they learn how to manage their allergies, keep themselves safe and still have lots of fun, in a new series of educational storybooks full of fun rhymes and activities.

UK- 24hr Delivery service "At The Heavenly Cake Company we feel that cakes are supposed to be for everyone. So, we make cakes for everyone. Our company has a husband and wife team behind it with a passion for food and a desire for indulgent treats to fit into a healthy and aware lifestyle. Taste is first and foremost for us when we are creating our recipes. So many people are deterred from eating free-from or vegan foods because of an unfounded pre-conception or previous bad experience with the taste or texture of a product. We want to re-introduce more and more people to great tasting, premium and indulgent treats. At The Heavenly Cake Company we make permissible indulgent foods. They are premium products that offer luxury and convenience. The BBC Food website states: "Making a good dairy-free sponge cake without eggs is one of the most difficult vegan cakes to master. The role of the egg in a sponge recipe is to bind the ingredients together, and it needs to be replaced to stop your sponge from turning into a tough inedible disaster." We have mastered the art without relying on artificial egg replacer - and are happy to create cakes for the universe. We love our jobs. We also love our customers, thats why there are no additives or preservatives. These cakes are baked in a happy environment by happy people, with the intention of making you a happy customer!"
