Vegan Wedding Cakes - North West UK?

[CEH]

Does anyone know anyone who makes vegan wedding cakes? I have failed miserably so far in my search and my local bakery can only offer a very dull sponge as a vegan alternative. I live in Manchester but will travel! I've found a bakery in North Wales but its a bit wholesome for what I'm looking for - I definitely don't want a sugar free cake for this one. Any suggestions gratefully received

Thanks Akita - unfortunately they are the no sugar ones I found too - shame though 'cos they look great otherwise.

I'm sending you a PM about this.

Have you tried Blue Lotus? They're based in Leicester but they'll post cakes out - this looks like it might be suitable, as 2 of the flavours are rich fruit cake and sugar free fruit cake (suggesting the rich one does have sugar in)

Thanks Twinkle - these are my back up plan if I can't find anyone to do a "proper" wedding cake - they do look yummy

Here's another vegan cake company baby cakes
Can't an ordinary bakery come up with a vegan fruitcake with vegan icing if you provide them with a recipe?

[twinkle]

Or, I expect Blue Lotus would be open to special requests, either to do a plain fruit cake that you could have iced in a wedding stylee by a cake decorator, or they may be able to do it themselves.

Thanks for everyone's replies. A very kind person from the forum has offered to make me one. Hurrah!
