Veg On Board

Veg On Board is a vegan cake and dessert studio in Calverton, at the western edge of the North Fork, founded by Irene Rodriguez Manieri. Every cake and dessert it makes is fully vegan.

How they work

The studio makes custom wedding cakes, elopement cakes, mini cakes and favors, and dessert tables with cupcakes, cake pops and dessert shooters. Styles shown include vintage Lambeth piping, modern sculptural cakes, heart shaped cakes, Richelieu inspired cutwork and hand sculpted toppers. Flavors, fillings and colors are settled at the design stage, and tasting boxes of mini cakes or slices can be delivered or picked up. Gluten free and nut free options are available on request, though the kitchen is not certified gluten free or nut free, and the cakes are not kosher certified. Delivery runs from Montauk to Manhattan, and its wedding page names The American Hotel in Sag Harbor among the venues it has worked.

Who it suits

Couples who want a fully vegan wedding cake, or who have many guests avoiding dairy and eggs, anywhere from the North Fork to the South Fork. It also suits couples who want starting prices before they inquire. It is not for couples who need a certified allergen free or kosher cake.

Good to know

• A signed agreement and a 50% non refundable retainer hold the date, with the balance due 30 days before the wedding.
• The studio suggests booking 3 to 6 months ahead for summer and fall dates.
• It is fully insured and works from an inspected commercial kitchen. A certificate of insurance is available for venues.
