When Planning a Wedding, It’s Easy to Make It Vegan!

Wedding cakes often contain eggs and dairy, but thanks to bakeries like these winners, couples can ensure their special day is layered with love for animals, too.

Chickens can recognize over 100 faces, do basic math, and even chirp to their babies before they hatch. Yet hens in the egg industry endure immense suffering: Workers cram these birds in cages and slaughter them when their production wanes.

Cows form close bonds with their babies. But in the dairy industry, calves are taken shortly after birth, and mothers endure repeated cycles of forced pregnancy and milking until their bodies give out.

By opting for a vegan cake, you ensure that your special day is rooted in compassion. So, let kindness be the secret ingredient at your celebration of love!
