Crafting Our Cakes
At Starseed Bakery, our vegan cakes are made using only the finest ingredients:
- Flours: Our cake flour is always 100% gluten free to cater to all dietary needs without compromising texture.
- Milk Alternatives: Coconut milk and almond milk provide the creamy, moist base for our cake batters.
- Oils: We sometimes use coconut oil in place of traditional butter, which means our cakes are 100% vegan without compromising texture or flavor.
- Natural Sweeteners: We use organic granulated sugar and powdered sugar that do not use animal byproducts in their processing.
- Leavening Agents: Baking soda and aluminum-free baking powder ensure our cakes rise beautifully every time.
- Flavorings: Pure vanilla extract and rich cocoa powder add depth and warmth to our flavors.
Our Commitment to Quality
We avoid artificial dyes and use natural colorings derived from fruits and vegetables. Our cakes are decorated with vegan-friendly icings made with organic powdered sugar, ensuring a finish that’s not just visually stunning but also deliciously ethical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vegan alternatives do you use in your cake recipes?
We use house-made organic coconut milk instead of dairy milk, apple cider vinegar to react with baking soda or baking powder for rise, and organic coconut oil in place of traditional butter. These substitutions ensure our cakes are 100% vegan without sacrificing flavor or texture. We also sometimes use organic applesauce or flaxseed meal as an egg replacer, such as in our vegan vanilla cake recipe.
Are all your vegan cakes gluten free?
Yes, all our vegan cakes are 100% gluten free. Starseed Bakery is a Certified Gluten Free Facility, ensuring that every cake we bake meets strict gluten free standards. This commitment allows us to safely serve our customers who have celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or prefer to avoid gluten for other health reasons. Enjoy our delicious cakes with the assurance that they are completely gluten free.
Can I order a custom vegan birthday cake?
Absolutely! We can always customize your cake to suit your celebration needs. Just let us know your preferences, and we'll bake a vegan cake that’s as unique as your occasion.
Are your vegan cakes suitable for those with allergies?
While our vegan cakes are dairy-free and egg-free, they are made in a kitchen that handles almonds. When it comes to our nut-free options, we are always very meticulous in our production to ensure cross-contamination does not occur.
How should I store my vegan cake?
To maintain freshness, store your cake in an airtight container. Our cakes are best enjoyed within a few days of purchase, though they can be refrigerated to extend shelf life. Always allow the cake to cool completely before storing to preserve its moisture and texture.
Do you offer vegan cake recipes for home bakers?
Yes, we share delicious vegan cake recipes on our website, including our popular vegan chocolate cake and vegan vanilla cake recipes. These recipes use simple ingredients and are perfect for baking at home.
