I found Le Petit Monstre while searching for vegan cakes in NYC to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. We're not vegan, but my boyfriend is lactose intolerant, so I wanted to find something he could enjoy comfortably without lactaid. There were many bakeries offering vegan cakes in NYC, but most didn’t offer much in the way of customization. After days of research, I found that Le Petit Monstre stood out as the best for custom cake design.
I reached out to the bakery and worked with Dominique, the cake designer and coordinator, who helped me through the entire design process. Honestly, I didn’t have a clear vision at first, but Dominique asked thoughtful questions and offered suggestions that helped me figure out what I truly wanted. Throughout it all, Dominique was incredibly patient, creative, and considerate with all my ideas and requests.
We eventually decided on a vegan red velvet cake with vegan cream cheese frosting, topped with raspberries and a playful atomic theme design—a perfect combination of my boyfriend’s favorites.
When we picked up the cake, we had two unforgettable surprises.
First, when we opened the box, we were amazed by how beautiful the cake looked—the deep green color was stunning, and the atomic design made my boyfriend laugh and smile, feeling both amused and deeply touched.
Second, when we tasted the cake, we were blown away. It was our first time trying a vegan cake, and it was honestly better than most non-vegan cakes we’ve had. We ended up finishing more than half of it right away.
I’ll absolutely be ordering again to try other flavors! I highly recommend Le Petit Monstre for anyone who’s lactose intolerant, vegan, or simply looking for a delicious and beautifully designed cake.
Thank you again, Dominique, for your amazing support and the unforgettable cake!
