Recipe – Vegan Chocolate Cake

Many wedding guests, parents and even couples have a strict vegetarian diet, which includes not eating eggs. For cake lovers this is a hard one as there are not many wedding cakes made without eggs. We were so excited to find out that Southern California baker Sweet Cheeks Baking Co makes wedding cakes with no eggs YAY!  They were kind enough to share with us their recipe for an egg free cake.
