Birthday cake and vegan friend dilemma

I think the cake in the box is a great idea! I'm vegan myself and I would be more than thrilled if you even put in the effort to order an extra slice of cake for myself. It is your birthday at the end of the day, and either way she will be getting cake like the rest of the guests at your birthday. As a last resort, you could possibly ask cake box if they could alter their designs to be ordered (if you haven't already asked this as is ) just so she has the same design as everyone else so she may feel less left out?

Let me know if it all works out okay!

She sounds extremely entitled. It is your birthday, not hers. Forcing dietary preferences on other people is also a red flag, in my opinion. The better question is whether you should even be friends with this person, but I know nothing except what you have divulged.

It's your birthday and you can do whatever you want, the fact that you're even going so far as to getting her a separate cake is such a caring and considerate thing to do. This vegan friend is being selfish to try and impose her values on everyone else, she's being entitled because of her dietary preferences - it's not her birthday so she needs to stop making it about herself. You should go ahead and get the cake you want and get her eggless cake separately, along with letting your other friends know what is going on. Your thoughts and solution are already really good - I hope your Birthday goes well OP!
