Eleven months ago, my friend asked me to make her wedding cake. Honored and excited to be asked I said yes!
Then she told me it would be vegan.
It felt like a a fool's errand, making a dairy-free wedding cake. Cakes are so good because they have milk and butter, right?!
I was the biggest skeptic. How was I going to pull this off?
The recipe search kicked into gear in January. Vegan cookbooks were purchased (thanks, Aunt B!) and countless vegan blogs were read. After a cake tasting to narrow down a cake in April and a practice wedding cake and subsequent eating party in early June, I felt ready for the late June ceremony.
I'm happy to say the cake impressed this skeptic.

| It was all hands on deck during the setup. |

| I made an extra sheet cake for easy slicing. |

| The final product! |
The recipe is the same chocolate cake I published in the Vegan Cake Tasting post from April, found here.
If you need any cake recipes, vegan or otherwise, you know I'm your girl.

Stephanie, thank you for asking me to make this cake. You pushed me to do something challenging and new. I'm so happy I was able to share in your special day. xo
