Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi, I am getting married in late August and I haven't been able to find a cake yet. I need something to serve about 80 people, simple, delicious, and of course, vegan. I live on the North Shore in Massachusetts but I'm willing to travel for the right cake (and right price.) I'm having the Organic Garden in Beverly cater my reception but they haven't found any leads for the cake either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I haven't actually tried it, but I hear Sticky Fingers Bakery in DC is great. It has a website, and I think they ship things, but I'm not sure on pricing etc. They're all vegan, and I'm sure if they can't do it, they'd have some more suggestions for you. HTH!!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Are there any cooking/chef schools near you? When I got married, I went to the local college which did have a cooking school and hired a gal who did cakes, etc... while she was going a student. She had a portfolio which was pretty impressive and was willing to learn how to do a vegan cake. She wasn't vegan, however I told her about egg replacers and gave her recipes she practiced on until she was comfortable with one of them. She actually liked learning about this because then she was able to expand her knowledge as well as her clientele.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Have you tried local vegetarian restaurants? They might be able to work with you or they may have a chef that will make it on the side. You might also want to inquire at places that make non-vegan cakes and ask if they can make a vegan cake for you. Good luck. If you find a site on line post it, I'd love to know where to find cakes too. Mandy <starpopple67 wrote:Hi, I am getting married in late August and I haven't been able to find a cake yet.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Mandy, I don't know if a recipe would be of any help for your wedding cake, but the carrot cake recipe in The Peaceful Palate, Jennifer Raymond's vegan cookbook, is outstandingly exceptional. The recipe makes a normal sized cake but could probably be adapted easily by your caterer. Let me know if you would like the recipe.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Why can't the caterer just make it following a normal wedding cake recipe and just use EnerG egg replacer and a vegan icing (I'm told several icings are vegan).
