It’s your birthday? Here’s where to buy vegan birthday cakes in UK supermarkets
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.
