So, who says that birthday vegans CAN'T have birthday cakes like everyone else? Not me!
Last year, for my (23rd) birthday, I made myself a birthday cake. It has always been a "thing" in our family, to make fun cakes for everyone on their birthday, I guess mum just likes going to work with colourful-food-dyed fingers on Mondays, because we have been doing it since I was born (and that's a LOT of Mondays with rainbow hands!), but we are getting to the point where, despite owning several party cake books, we are running out of cake ideas! So, since I was sharing my birthday with my Dad (who happens to be a bit of a train buff), we made a train cake.
It was constructed out of lamingtons (an altered plain cake recipe, which cocoa powder icing and coconut toppings) and various lollies, and was completely vegan (with the exception of course being the driver..).
And the best part? It looked so good that everyone tried some and (wait for it..) enjoyed it! And birthday traditions live on!
