Ever wish you could walk right into the grocery store and pick up a dairy-free cake without having to make a special order? Enter Abe’s Celebration Cakes. These vegan, two-layer cakes are also egg-free, nut-free, and soy-free, and come in three pre-frosted flavors – complete with sprinkles on top!
We like that each cake has straight-from-the-bakery appeal, but is six-inch in size, and perfect for smaller gatherings. If it’s just a party of one or two, you can freeze leftover slices of Abe’s Celebration Cakes, frosting and all.
Abe’s Celebration Cakes are Frosted, Decorated, and Vegan-Friendly
Make no mistake, these are straight-up desserts. Each tender cake is layered with dairy-free cream cheese-style frosting and adorned with allergy-friendly sprinkles. But Abe’s family simply couldn’t resist sneaking some sweet potatoes into the Chocolate Cake, packing carrots and applesauce into the Carrot Cake, and spiking all three with 25% of the RDA for calcium. Just a few more things to feel good about as you savor a sweet dairy-free slice.

Frozen Surprise
I was in Whole Foods searching for a vegan birthday cake last minute hoping they had a fresh cake in the dessert case. Nope only vegan cake was the frozen Abes Celebration cakes: chocolate or vanilla. Asked my daughter if we dare try one. She said sure lets try vanilla! Let it sit out uncovered out of the box for 2 hours We were really impressed. It was delicious. I only wish Whole Foods carried the Carrot Cake one. I will be back next celebration!
You won't be disappointed
I bought the vanilla cake, frozen, for my husband’s birthday since I didn’t have time to drive to a vegan bakery. I wasn’t hoping for much, just hoping it wasn’t awful. Big surprise, it was amazing. Okay, so the appearance is never gonna rival the incredible vegan bakeries around here but the taste totally does! So glad I found this.
Best Cakes ever!!!
No one believes me when I serve one of these cakes that they are Dairy Free! Also a success, everyone loves them!!
Finally--dairy-free store-bought cakes!
My family had so much fun trying these cakes. My kids were especially excited that they were only dairy free, not gluten free.
Obviously the chocolate cake was voted the favorite. Interestingly the carrot cake came in second place before the vanilla. Everyone enjoyed all three cakes, though. They are quite sweet and kid friendly. With their pretty sprinkles and simple flavors, I think they are perfect for children’s parties. It’s so exciting to be able to purchase dairy-free cakes at the store!
