The Skinny Bakery has designed bespoke Baby biscuits to celebrate the long awaited birth of the Royal Baby.

At only 33kcals each, Kate needn't worry about how many of these baby biscuits she enjoys whilst shifting the baby weight.

Perfect for the health-conscious these gingerbread 'biccies' contain no butter, are low in fat, low in calories and super soft.

The perfect gift for baby showers, new mums, christenings, and patriots.

Specialising in low-calorie cakes, biscuits and savoury baked goods, The Skinny Bakery has had great success since trading began in 2012 and is now stocked across the capital.

Founder Mariella Crosthwait left her job in the music industry where she discovered the idea for her low calorie online bakery.

The girls in the office loved her delicious cakes and joked that she needed to make some without all the calories - so she did just that.

Like Mariella and her colleagues, most of us enjoy sweet things and want to stay slim but this can be tricky when a slice of cake often contains nearly a quarter of our recommended daily calorie intake.

Central to the skinny philosophy is the idea that eating cake should not be a guilt-inducing experience. Indulging in a slice of Skinny cake, as part of a balanced diet, helps you to maintain a healthy weight without depriving yourself - so you needn't think twice about it.

Skinny Brownie, Lemon Drizzle and Double Chocolate Meringue Cookies are just part of her guilt-free range of classic baked favourites all astonishingly under 200 calories. These sweet treats steer clear from artificial sweeteners often found in low calorie foods - leaving you with the sweet taste you want from a cake.

What's the Skinny Secret? Baking can be very temperamental. Ingredients have to be in precise proportion, the size of the equipment and oven temperatures all play vital roles - if any element isn't quite right, results can be disastrous.

With a penchant for baking for over ten years Mariella had done a lot of experimenting with healthier baking before setting up her bakery. The main trick is to keep fat ingredients to a minimum.

Skinny cake has been a huge hit amongst models and moguls across the capital who choose the light option over calorie crammed alternatives. These popular treats are available to order online, delivered London-wide to parties, events and offices.

Stockists include the UK's largest corporate caterer Baxter Storey, The Wimpole Pub off Oxford Street, The Hogarth Health Club in Chiswick, and the online Shop at www.SkinnyBakery.co.uk.
