Vegan Cake Designer & Founder of Veg on Board
Hi, I’m Irene, the owner and vegan cake designer behind Veg on Board.
I’ve always loved being creative. Drawing, sewing, baking, cooking - anything hands-on where I could be artistic and create something from scratch.
I also care deeply about animals and I know we can enjoy beautiful, delicious food without causing them harm.
Veg on Board actually started with vegan charcuterie boards and catering. But for years I’ve also loved baking and cake decorating -creating celebration and sculpted cakes for family and friends. I loved the piping, sculpting cakes into a piece of edible art, and making all the little details. Over time that became my focus.
Today, Veg on Board is a boutique vegan cake studio based on Long Island, NY. I create custom cakes and desserts for celebrations of all kinds, that taste as good as they look for anyone who’s vegan, has dietary allergies, or just loves good cake. Many of my customers are not vegan, and I always appreciate someone that just enjoys good desserts.
It’s an honor to play a small role in life’s most meaningful celebrations - from weddings and bridal showers to birthdays and growing families. Food is my artistic medium, and every cake is made with care, love and always vegan.
Fun Facts About Me
I’m not a sweets person- Don’t get me wrong, I love a good piece of cake, but it’s something I have on a very rare occasion. I’m a salty/ savory gal- give me all the salty popcorn any day.
I’m a homebody and happiest spending time with my two kids, husband and our Siamese cat. But, I do love to host too with friends, family and good food.
I’ve always loved animals and they’re a huge part of why Veg on Board exists.
My music taste is all over the place- Salsa and Rock are my favorites, but my playlists jump from Heavy Metal to Pop, Disco, Ballads and old Puerto Rican folk songs.
