Think about your all-time favorite dessert. Perhaps it's an ooey-gooey double-chocolate brownie or maybe a luscious piece of red velvet cake. Your mouth is probably watering right now as your innate sweet tooth kicks in (sorry not sorry). Unfortunately, not everyone can indulge in these cravings for such delicacies due to food allergies or dietary restrictions. But today's guest can get around that issue.  Sira Garib is the Founder of Pure Vegan Cakes in West Palm Beach. Her clients range from vegans to non-vegans, but she specializes in customized cakes and desserts for people with extreme dietary restrictions. She tells Gerard how it took her eight months to perfect vegan cake baking. Sira also shares how growing up in Brooklyn inspired her to bake vegan Italian rainbow cookies (Pure Vegan Cakes is the ONLY bakery in South Florida that makes this classic Italian treat, vegan style).
