Ahimsa Custom Cakes

I first discovered Ahmisa at Axis Natural Foods in Auburn, ME ‘lo some years ago. I was trying to eat more vegan; the most difficult adjustment for me was trying to find egg and dairy-​free sweets that both tasted good and didn’t break the bank. Axis began carrying little two-​bite cakes from Ahimsa (a local company), and everyone seemed to love them (read: they were so popular that Axis frequently ran out!). When I finally got to try one, I believe it was chocolate-​peanut butter. And: IT. WAS. DELICIOUS. Unlike so many other vegan baked goods I had tried, it wasn’t cardboard-​y in either taste or texture; it was perfectly moist, unbelievably flavorful, and melt-​in-​your-​mouth good. I had never thought something vegan could taste so sinfully delicious (Ahimsa is super proud of the fact that 90% of their returning customers aren’t veg or veeg)!
Since then, I had the privilege of working with Kristi (the baker and artist) on a project for my blog. She made me a beautiful german chocolate cake with the most delectable coconutty, bourbon-​vanillay frosting I’ve ever had in my life (thinking about it now is making me drool a little… I could have probably eaten the stuff straight outta the container with a spoon). I didn’t share a single bite, and to this day, I don’t regret that decision at all!
If you’re searching for all-​natural, organic, from-​scratch cakes or cupcakes… look no further! If you’re in need of an Ace of Cakes-​style 3D-​sculpted style cake… your search is over. Ahimsa (which means non-​violence towards all living things) is absolutely the place for you. Do know: everything is made to order and you’ll need to make an appointment, because Kristi works out of her state-​licensed and inspected home kitchen (and just showing up at her house would be wildly rude and uncool!).
Finally, should you get some cupcakes… let me know. Because, y’know, a dozen is too much for you to eat alone, and I’d be more than willing to help you :)
