Vegan cakes may be hard to come by in Singapore, but it is not impossible to get them, either.
Facebook page Cqveggiefinds has compiled a comprehensive list of places that sell healthier versions of cakes, most without animal-derived products like dairy, eggs, and gelatin.
Among the two dozen or so places, 18 are vegan-friendly.
Here's a look at some of the places from the list:

The Privé Group has over 10 different outlets offering Western and Asian fare.
Most of these outlets offer vegan options, including desserts.
