Who doesn’t love cake? A gorgeous, delicious dessert is an essential part of a great wedding, and having the newly wedded couple feed each other cake is always a fun tradition. Whether you like chocolate, coconut, carrot, red velvet, or vanilla, there are plenty of great vegan cake options.

Big cities usually have a few vegan bakeries or at least bakeries with vegan options. Check with vegan restaurants in your area to see if they make cakes or can refer you to someone who does. You can also call nonvegan bakeries or caterers in your area and see if they’d be willing to bake you a vegan wedding cake. You might be surprised by how many say yes.
