Wheat Free Bakery Direct Review Series - Part I

Regular readers will know the general euphoria I feel at the discovery of a new product, and while the Wheat Free Bakery Direct is not exactly new to me, I still feel a great deal of excitement. Why? First of all, it's been over a year since I ordered from them. Secondly, in that year they've been busily working away on their products, so they've improved since my previous experiences.

I should explain why it has been over a year since my previous order. Although I have never stopped being a fan of the WFBD, I had previously been VERY eager to try their caramel fudge doughnuts, but I'd been disappointed. The icing had slid off the top and what there was of it had a very peculiar, synthetic taste. The doughnut itself was like a rock and not really the squishy, squashy, doughy texture I'd been missing since I was diagnosed.

But when a friend said she wanted to order something and she wondered if I'd be interested in placing an order too, I jumped at the chance. Delivery is quite expensive, at just under £6, so we've always done orders en masse to make it really worthwhile. My order arrived today and what a lovely array of goodies it was!

So, what you see above is (starting from bottom left and working clockwise) parisienne demi-baguettes, tiger demi-baguettes, sandwich rolls, jam doughnuts, crusty bloomer (let the jokes commence!), apple and caramel flans, and iced ring doughnuts.

All the products are best eaten on the day of delivery, but clearly attempting that would be ridiculous, however tempting it might be to try! So for convenience, everything can be frozen. Lactose intolerant coeliacs will also be pleased to learn that much of the range is also dairy free. Happy days all round!

So from this point forward, I'll be doing a review of each product as and when I eat them, so you'll know what products you can really trust and look forward to!
