FAQs — Gluten Free Cake Decorating

Is fondant gluten free?

Bakels Pettinice fondant, stocked at Baking Pleasures, is gluten free. Not all fondant brands are gluten free — some formulations use glucose syrup derived from wheat, which may contain trace gluten. Pettinice uses glucose syrup from non-wheat sources and is confirmed gluten free by Bakels. Always check the label if you are using a different fondant brand.

Are sprinkles gluten free?

It depends on the brand and product. Many sprinkles are gluten free, but some contain wheat starch as a coating or anti-caking agent, and others may be manufactured alongside gluten-containing products. The sprinkles included in this collection are confirmed as gluten free by their manufacturers. For people with coeliac disease, always check the product label for facility statements.

Is food colouring gluten free?

Yes — most food colouring is gluten free. Synthetic gel, oil-based, and liquid food dyes use chemical compounds, not grain-based ingredients, and do not naturally contain gluten. The main exception to be aware of is caramel colour (E150) derived from barley, which can contain trace gluten — this applies to some brown food colourings, not to the synthetic gel and oil-based products in this collection. For more detail, visit the gluten free food colouring collection.

Is edible glitter gluten free?

Most edible glitter is gluten free. Edible glitters and lustre dusts are typically made from sugar, maltodextrin (usually corn-derived), or mica-based colouring — none of which contain gluten. However, products vary by brand, and some may be manufactured in facilities that handle gluten. Always check the product label if you have coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Are candy melts gluten free?

Bakette Colourmelts are gluten free. Standard candy melts are compound chocolate products made from sugar, vegetable fats, and flavourings — not grain-based ingredients. Bakette Colourmelts are confirmed as gluten free by the manufacturer. As with all products, check the label for facility allergen statements if you have coeliac disease.

Do you also stock halal and vegan cake decorating supplies?

Yes — for halal baking supplies including halal fondant, sprinkles, and food colouring, visit the halal cake decorating supplies collection. For vegan food colouring, visit the vegan food colouring collection.
