Next Article Let them eat (vegan) cake!

April 10, 2009

It's the little things in life that bring me joy. Like telling a vegan naysayer

that the cake they have been going on and on about for the last half hour is in

fact . . . vegan. I love the look on their face. Priceless.

Being a lacto-vegetarian (I don't eat eggs) finding a bakery that will make an

egg-free cake is a challenge. A couple of years ago, I decided I wanted a pretty

birthday cake for the party my husband was planning, and I didn't want to make

it myself. I was surprised to find that many bakeries couldn't fill the order.

It wasn't until I called Spiral Diner that my dreams of an egg-free birthday

cake came true.

My request was simple; a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I left the

decorating ideas up to them. When I arrived to pick up the cake I wasn't really

sure what to expect, but it was beautiful! The cake was three thick layers tall

and decorated in swirls and dots of milk chocolate colored frosting and not a

bit of animal cruelty in sight. I could hardly wait.

Everyone at the party commented on how pretty the cake looked and how they

couldn't wait to taste it. I never said a word about it being vegan. When the

cake was finally cut people rushed for forks and it seemed that everyone in

unison said, " Mmm, this is SO good where did you get this cake? " Ah, the joy.

Thanks Spiral Diner!

Spiral Diner is one of my favorite spots and the only place I'll ever buy a

birthday cake again. Try them for yourselves. They have two locations – in

Dallas at Beckley & Zang and in Fort Worth at 6th & Magnolia. Visit their

website for details www.spiraldiner.com.
