Is it easy to find ready-made vegan cakes?
Myth: “Vegans must find it so hard to go without cakes and things for special occasions!”
I realised that this was a myth within a couple of years of becoming vegan. Here’s the proof…
Back in 2010, we had moved home, and to celebrate the fact that it was ‘over,’ I purchased a number of cakes from Blue Lotus. Unfortunately, this business is now permanently closed.
For a surprise birthday party back in 2012, we ordered a range of cakes from The Heavenly Cake Company, and I was happy to hear that the range wowed everyone who could make it.
A few years ago, we got a variety of sweet treats from The Vegan Cakery, for about ten of us to share
My sister-in-law ordered a Peppa Pig chocolate orange birthday cake for her kids from Cake Rani
A couple of years ago, we ordered a birthday cake from Deb’s Pantry - I’m not sure if they’re still in business, but I’m trying to find out.
So is it hard to be vegan and celebrate with vegan cakes without anyone feeling as if they have been deprived of a ‘good dessert’? I would wholeheartedly say yes!
Please do drop me a line and share any experiences you’ve had around ordering vegan cakes.
“I made the choice to be vegan because I will not eat (or wear, or use) anything that could have an emotional response to its death or captivity. I can well imagine what that must feel like for our non-human friends - the fear, the terror, the pain - and I will not cause such suffering to a fellow living being.”
