A Vegan Wedding Cake Later...

As my title implies yes I did it. I made a 100% vegan, organic wedding cake for two wonderful friends. Yep, it was a doozy in experience but I had a great time and surprised myself on how easy it is these days to bake vegan and get great results.

To start off I did a lot of research, as I am an omni not a vegan, I never thought about replacing my eggs and dairy in my baking. Now that I am equipped with the knowledge and the how to from countless bloggers, websites, chefs and cookbooks I feel that if you can bake a vegan wedding cake then you can bake anything vegan! I am telling you it is easy and it tastes wonderful! Seriously if you haven’t tried it don’t be scared! Everyone taste tester had no idea it was vegan…oh sugar and flour what a wonderful thing ;)

To be honest, I was daunted at first but the more I read the more excited I became. Once I got started I realized how much simpler some of the tasks are and how much less fat and cholesterol there was in the modified cakes. From the outbursts at the wedding of folks saying “Are you sure this is vegan?”.. “This can’t be vegan?” And countless positive remarks I know it was a hit!


After paring down the recipes I decided to get started on testing. And testing I did, until I found the spongy, moist, and delicate cake I was looking for. That done I made the testers with input of the flavors from the bride and groom.

Vegan Vanilla Cake with Fresh Strawberries and Vegan Vanilla "Buttercream"..
Vegan Chocolate Cake layered with Vegan Chocolate Mousse and Vegan Fudgy wonderment, covered in Vegan Vanilla "Buttercream"
Vegan Lemon Cake with Fresh Rasperbbies, Vegan Raspberry "buttercream" covered in Vegan Vanilla "Buttercream"
and last but not least
Vegan Coconut Cake with Vegan Coconut Cream, Fresh Pureed Mango, Covered in Vegan Vanilla "Buttercream"

The winners.... the vanilla strawberry, chocolate wonderment, and coconut mango
I wish I took fotos of the insides and their tiered yumminess. But alas the dj was playing my song and I was hitting the dance floor with the last shred of energy I had, and that was probably from the greygoose cocktails;)
Here is the final product..
