My life is so hard. Today I had to go to 2 different bakeries and try over 20 different flavors of cake for my rehearsal dinner and wedding! Delicious! My selections? Rehearsal dinner will be a cookies and cream frosting with vanilla cake and wedding cake will have 2 tiers with a cannoli cream and vanilla cake and 2 tiers with a vanilla custard, strawberries, and vanilla cake! 4 tiers total. All amazing! I decided not even to look into vegan cake. My wedding cake is included in my venue's package and I have to get it from 1 specific Italian bakery. Besides the fact that Italian bakeries aren't known for their vegan cakes, that would most likely have been an extra fee. The rehearsal dinner cake is from a French bakery that also does not advertise vegan cake. Honestly, it's hard to find quality vegan cake! Have you ever had vegan cake from WholeFoods? It's not that good! It tends to be dry and the frosting can be hard. I've on rare occasion found yummy vegan cake (for cupcakes BabyCakes in NYC is awesome!) but for a big beautiful wedding cake that tastes AND looks amazing....it's a rare breed! What we need is a vegan bakery to really start specializing in wedding cakes!!!!.....On Long Island!!!!!
All that being said....yes I cheated today on my 30 day challenge....but this will be the last time I cheat. Only a couple days left! I don't regret cheating. This is the only wedding cake I will ever have and I wanted to make sure it tasted good. I apologize to all the unborn chickens that sacrificed themselves for my wedding....but honestly, I saved them from a life on the factory farm! I also apologized to all the cows that were milked for the butter in my cake!!!! I really appreciate it and am grateful!
