Missing cakes<br />

(and other<br />

sweet treats)<br />

Cakes and other confections<br />

are an obvious no-go<br />

for vegans. Traditional recipes<br />

call for eggs, butter,<br />

and milk. Whilst there have<br />

been some adaptions over<br />

time, there’s always the<br />

creepy milk powder ingredient<br />

waiting to surprise<br />

you every time you think<br />

you’re close to finding a vegan-friendly<br />

cake.<br />

Sugar is the only ingredient<br />

humans naturally crave<br />

from birth. To live in a world<br />

without sugar is bold and<br />

brave, but have you seen<br />

that slice of cake in the bakery’s<br />

window?<br />

To overcome: Shop online<br />

and at your local independent<br />

specialist<br />

Luckily, vegan confectionary<br />

is booming. Your supermarket<br />

may be slowly<br />

catching up, but that’s<br />

just a fraction as to what’s<br />

available. Online stores like<br />

VeganKind, Vegan Store,<br />

and Alleway’s Confectionary<br />

offer a wide range of vegan<br />

sweets and treats. Check<br />

them out.<br />

During Lockdown, home<br />

baking has exploded and vegans<br />

are not shy. Check out<br />

your local vegan groups or<br />

neighbourhood groups for<br />

anyone selling their bakes.<br />

Just remember to find a<br />

kitchen that’s registered<br />

with the local authority.
