National Cream Tea Day was Friday 27th Jun.- If you missed it - don't panic!
Now is the perfect time to stick the kettle on and pile your plate high.
We’re proud Devon folk here at Baked, and if there’s one thing we know inside-out (besides our epic pies and pasties)... it’s how to build the perfect Devon cream tea 💁
Yes, you heard us right – DEVON cream tea. Not Cornish! Not London-fancy, either. Just proper, gluten free deliciousness from the South West.
So, if you're craving a gluten free cream tea or looking to treat someone who is, here’s how to do it the Baked way…
with tips, tricks, and treats straight from the gluten free aficionados 🙌
Let’s be real: no cream tea is complete without a cracking gluten free scone!
And we’ve got options...
Plain Scones – soft and ready to be slathered with your favourite jam🍓
Sultana Scones - packed with juicy raisins, just sweet enough 👌
Cheese Scones – for the those of you who prefer the savoury. A little rebel in your cream tea line-up 🧀
All made 100% gluten free, with no cross-contamination and no compromise on flavour! Perfectly golden, soft and crumbly... these scones are the real deal.
This isn’t just a debate. It’s a way of life.
In Devon, we go cream first – thick, golden clotted cream from our pals at Langage Farm – and THEN jam. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry... go wild!
Cornwall might disagree, but would you put your butter on your toast first? Nope of course not! Always cream first then jam...thank you very much 😇
Go all in and build a proper gluten free afternoon tea by adding a few sweet slices on the side:
Lemon Drizzle Cake Slice – zingy and moist 🍋
Bakewell Slice – almondy, jammy perfection
Carrot Cake Slice – full of spice and topped with dairy free icing 🥕
Brownie Slice – rich, fudgy, totally indulgent
Farmhouse Fruit Cake – slice it up and serve with butter or (yes!) a dollop of clotted cream
All of them are gluten free, and some are even dairy free, too!
Whether you’re a classic Earl Grey lover or you’ve got a soft spot for peppermint, get the pot brewing and pour it proper.
None of that teabag-left-in-the-mug nonsense. This is a proper national food, after all!
Here’s your Baked-approved checklist for the ultimate gluten free cream tea:
✅ Gluten free scones (plain, sultana, cheese if you're feeling rogue)
✅ Clotted cream (Devon style: cream first, always)
✅ A hefty spoon of your favourite jam
✅ A slice or two (or five) of cake
✅ A pot of tea
✅ A bit of sunshine, and maybe even a gingham tablecloth if you’re feeling fancy
National Cream Tea Day can be any day here in Devon! - so treat yourself (or your nan, or your mates, or your whole street) to a gluten free Devon cream tea that actually tastes like the real thing.
No gluten. No wheat. No compromises. Just flavour-packed, flaky, soft, crumbly, buttery joy!!
Order your gluten free scones and cakes now and get the clotted cream ready… Devon’s calling.
