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.
