Cariad Cakes
Approved by The Vegetarian Society

Cariad Cakes are unique, handmade, loaf-cakes that meet the strict criteria of The Vegetarian Society approval scheme, entitling them to carry the trusted ‘Seedling Symbol’.
Baked in Ludlow, under the watchful eye of husband and wife team Kay and David Fletcher, Cariad’s delicious range of cakes made from locally sourced ingredients contain no artificial additives or preservatives and are beautifully presented in gold star packaging with a ribbon tie.
Sink your teeth into a Caribbean Dream or a slice of Chocolate Heaven. Or perhaps you’d prefer the Farmhouse Apple Cake, Zingy Lemon Madeira, Rich Pineapple, or Shropshire Raspberry and Honey. The choice gets even more difficult with the prospect of No Added Sugar Orange and Apricot cake (suitable for diabetics) and the dairy-free (vegan) Chocolate and Cherry option.
The range is available through selected stockists and by mail order. Please visit www.cariadcakes.com, email info@cariadcakes.com or telephone 01584 872275 to find out more or to place an order.

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘approved trademark ‘ was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries.

The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria:

  • Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea.

  • Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fat.

  • Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.

  • Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on animals.

  • Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as these are likely to have been tested on animals.

  • The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.

    The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
