Chef Stephen McCarty has created a range of vegan cakes that will make anyone want to spurn animal products for the rest of their lives. Inspired by traditional Mandalas, the surface of the vegan cakes are full of vibrant colors and intricate patterns. These bright hues come in the form of natural plant and fruit extracts, which ensures the integrity of the desserts.
Although the designs of the vegan cakes are incredibly impressive, so too are the flavors. These include banana jungle nut butter chocolate cheesecake, coconut lime raw vegan cheesecake and acai blueberry mango cheesecake. Mouthwatering to say the least, this range of vegan cakes show that people don't have to feel as though they're missing out when opting for such diet restricting dishes.
