Many people assume that going vegan means waving goodbye to delicious cakes and other baked treats, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Vegan options are becoming more mainstream by the day, which means you can celebrate your birthday with an indulgent, cruelty-free cake.

As well as vegan birthday cakes in supermarkets, you have a few options when it comes to vegan birthday treats – you could contact a vegan bakery for a bespoke cake, or get creative in the kitchen and make your own.

Independent Vegan Bakeries

If you’re looking for an extra special vegan birthday cake, you may wish to check out an independent vegan bakery.

Some vegan bakeries can deliver all over the UK, so don’t worry if there’s nothing available near you. The Vegan Cakery posts out cakes of all sizes if ordered in advance, Hummingbird Bakery offer amazing cupcakes and Vegan Antics can deliver delicious cookies and traybakes.

Many vegan bakeries will create personalised cakes just for you – ideal if you’re looking for a unique gift.
