"This is vegan?!"

I just celebrated my sweet sixteen. I was just going to settle with making myself a little cake and letting my family and my boyfriend's family indulge in a yummy rum torte cake from a little parasian bakery called Glauce's. Instead, my mom was talking to one of her co-workers(who is a vegetarian) who had a friend in her office who owned a vegan bakery. This is where my mom got my super delicious chocolate choclate cake with raspberry filling. the bakery is called Cakewalk and is behind one of my favorite chinese restraunts, Joy Luck.

I have made cakes like this, but I was happy to have one custom made for me. After dinner, we all went back to my house for cake. The adults were turning up their noses up at the thought of a cake made without eggs or milk. It was amazing! After a few nibles, the adults were digging in and asking for seconds. I heard mutterings of "This is vegan?!" and "I can't believe how sweet this frosting is without butter!" And my favorite(and least favorite) part, the cake was gone within 24 hours! When does that ever happen between 7 finicky non-vegans?

A few nights later, my boyfriend took me out to on an all day date. We went to Joy Luck and got a box of vegan cupcakes before we went in. The people(all 2 of them who work them) were super nice to us. We got 2 chocolate, 1 vanilla, and one black forest(the best by far) cupcakes.
