A vegan wedding cake appeals to many for a myriad of reasons; you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy it. It’s a great choice for the lactose intolerant, as well as anyone wanting pure, fresh, and possibly organic ingredients in their food. It has an unmistakably powerful appeal.
Of course, wedding cakes of any variety do not come cheap and it’s fair to say that vegan wedding cakes weigh in at the top end. There is no question that the cost of a vegan wedding cake is going to be higher than your more traditional varieties. In fact it is almost twice as much, with the average wedding cake running about £ 3-4($4-$7) per slice and the average vegan cake about £4-£5 ($8.50 to $10) per slice. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for, and quality ingredients and intricacy of cake design all factor into the final price.
A bakery run from home may well prove to be the most economical solution if you plan to buy your cake, but the price alone should not entirely determine your selection. The good news is that there is also another way to serve your guests delicious, pure, vegan-friendly wedding cake without breaking the bank – you can make it yourself.
There’s a lot of pressure on wedding cakes but there are a host of easy-to-follow vegan wedding cake recipes on the internet. Indulge here if you can because your wedding cake, vegan or otherwise, remains the most memorable food at the nuptial festivities.

Vegans typically avoid the following ingredients when making cakes: honey, eggs, gelatine, which is a by-product of slaughterhouses, dairy, butter, milk and cheese. There are ways to get around using these ingredients and some proper substitutes include but are not limited to: vegan powdered sugar (home-made or Wholesome Foods, which is found at most health stores), agar-agar, Emes, Kojel or Hain instead of gelatine and Spectrum Spread non-hydrogenated margarine in place of butter.
