How to Bake Your Own Vegan Wedding Cake

If you fancy yourself as a bit of baker, why not make your own vegan wedding cake? Wedding cakes are very expensive (and who wishes to celebrate their love with factory-farmed milk and eggs, refined sugar and food dyes from dead insects?)

This pretty cake is from the book Simply Vegan Baking.

If you want to colour a cake to match your wedding theme, use natural vegan food dyes. Before baking, read up on food safety for people & pets.

Vegan Vanilla Wedding Cake Recipe

This Vanilla Wedding Cake (The Vegan 8) is an extremely detailed recipe, if you want to make, bake and decorate your own wedding cake. This is also free from gluten, nuts, oats and oil.

The recipe took a lot of work to fathom, so Brandi says not to sub even one ingredient (especially the cornstarch and white rice flour). If you do it right, it tastes just like conventional wedding cake, and also slices well.

Where to Buy Luxury Vegan Wedding Cakes

If you have some cash to splash and prefer ready-made, checkout the luxury vegan wedding cakes from Rubys of London (all made from organic ingredients and free from palm oil). Delivered locally, there is also now a shop in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

No ‘silly cakes’ as they don’t work with sugar paste, just natural ingredients. Fresh and dried flower decorations are boxes separately (keep in the fridge before use). Keep unsafe flowers away from pets.

Everything is made-to-order, with gluten-options available. This bakery specialises in tiered cakes and cupcake towers, plus beautiful floral cake toppers and decorations.

There are also cupcake favours for the table and a sample box to try out which flavour you like best:

Classic Carrot
Vanilla Strawberry
Pistachio Rose
Lemon Poppy Seed
Red Velvet (choc/beetroot)
Choc Salted Caramel

Serve with biodegradable plates and cutlery. Read inspiring stories of vegan weddings (couples marrying at farm sanctuaries, with guests donating to help the animals).
