Oof, David. So hard.
It's either an RV or a trailer--in our case it was a trailer--that's been outfitted with a long couch on one side and about 4 wide screen tvs on the other, plus various game systems. Like a rolling arcade. It could easily seat 16 kids and let them all play at once.
Wow, that sounds really cool.
the cake my mom's friend will make for their party will be vegan and wheat-free
The modern world! Because I bet it will also be delicious, and I don't know how!
I'd definitely recommend it, especially for someone like me, who is easily flustered by party planning.

I've made vegan chocolate cake and it was delicious and easy peasy, and I've made gluten-free cupcakes that were delicious too. I'm guessing that combining the two is trickier but no less tasty.
Honestly, I grew up with vegan chocolate cake, because my mom is like that, and just think that's normal. And it may not be so much wheat-free as spelt, which is a pretty easy substitution. But still, she offered out of the goodness of her heart to make a free professional-quality cake and we're all "Great! Here are our weird requirements..." and she's still in.
It'll have whipped cream frosting which my mom reserves the right to scrape off. Compromise.
Unrelatedly: the leftover pork chop I had for lunch might have been more delicious than when I first cooked them. I love when that happens.
I want to eat all the chocolate right now. I know it's stress. The last time I had chocolate it didn't even taste that great. And yet. Homemade chocolate chip cookies are calling my name.
Dang now I want cake. I even have some in the fridge, but I'll need to wait to cut into it. Turns out I made a wee spare cake.
The vegan wheat-free cakes I've tried have usually been a bit denser and drier than I like, but I've had a few good ones. I once saw someone trying to find a vegan, wheat-free, oil-free, sugar-free cake. I wasn't quite sure what could go into it that would still make it a cake.
Rice cakes!
Oh yeah, I just realized that I grew up making a cake that actually is vegan (assuming sugar is vegan), but not billed as such! But it's the oil and sugar that make it good. And the cocoa.

Did "sugar-free" encompass honey and/or dates, or was it just refined sugar? Because I've seen some recipes for cakes made with dates but no refined sugar. (I have no idea if they would be any good, because I've never tried them, because as much as I *should* give up sugar, I still bake with it.)
