The following post is a guest post by PETA Living author and PETA staff member Mylie.
This past weekend, my good friend and coworker Amy, who writes this blog, got married in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
The early evening ceremony was beautiful—illuminated by countless white candles and the fading end-of-day sunlight that was fleeting from the large vintage windows above. When Amy appeared, locked arm-in-arm with her dad, looking all stunning in her gown and birdcage veil, I was happy to have the small pack of tissues emblazoned with my hotel's logo in my bag.
For all you Veg Cooking Blog fans, it will come as no surprise that the food was also stunning. I will post the menu and more food photos soon, but in the meantime I wanted to talk about the cake.

The cake was a luscious three-tier vegan chocolate cake with amaretto frosting made by Southern Sweets Bakery of Decatur, Georgia. The cake was so intensely decedent that it essentially melted in your mouth.
I really hope Amy won't be too disappointed on her one-year anniversary when she goes to get the cake top out of her freezer and instead finds a box weighted with about 10,000 "I Am Not a Nugget" stickers that Joel and I left as a decoy while we stole the top of the cake to eat on the way home...
Congratulations Amy!

Oh my goodness.
That cake is absolutely beautiful.
I sure do hope that there is a bakery around my area that will create a vegan cake for my wedding.
Congrats, girl! ^_^

I too got married recently - and had not one, but three vegan cakes - chocolate (of course), lemon drizzle cake, and carrot cake. I also had lots of decorated cup cakes. The cakes were delicious and proved that you don't need animal products whatsoever to enjoy yummy food.

Hi there. I am trying to put together a database of vegan wedding cake bakeries and pictures for brides who are planning their weddings. The idea is to give them some information and creative ideas to make the process a little easier. We all know how tough it can be to get great vegan desserts. If anyone has a great vegan wedding cake photo or tips they would like to share, here is the link: http://www.vegan-nutritionista.com/vegan-weddings-cakes.html#INV
Thanks!
