Bellingham, Wash. –

Top-tier cakes for soy-mates! In time for peak wedding season, PETA is naming its picks for the nation’s ten best “Bakeries That Take the Cake”—and Bellingham’s own James Street Cakes nabbed a spot for creating captivating and craveable wedding cakes that are egg- and dairy-free and perfect for compassionate couples planning plant-powered nuptials.

Established by Caitlyn Klein in 2022, James Street Cakes offers a wide assortment of vegan cakes, fillings, and buttercream icings in big flavors for the Big Day, including luscious lemon, indulgent chocolate chip, and festive confetti.

“James Street Cakes is baking up beautiful wedding cakes without a crumb of cruelty to chickens or cows,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “Every winner on PETA’s list is a perfect match for couples committed to helping all animals live happily ever after.”

Other winners on PETA’s list include (in no particular order) Hazel & Jade in San Diego; cake.vegan bakery in Dover, New Hampshire; Plant Baked by Sarah in Baltimore; Happy Chicks Bakery in Cincinnati; P.S. & Co. in Philadelphia; The Cake Bar in Denver; Botanical Bakeshop in Milan, Michigan; Flour + Time in Atlanta; and Valhalla Bakery, with locations in Orlando and St. Petersburg, Florida.

Each winner will receive a framed certificate from PETA along with bragging rights.

PETA notes that studies show that Gen Z prioritizes conscientious menus and sustainability in their wedding planning. Every person who goes vegan saves the lives of nearly 200 animals each year. PETA’s free vegan starter kit can help those looking to make the switch.

James Street Cakes is a permitted home bakery that offers custom orders through its online storefront.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out thatEvery Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
