From Dun-Well Doughnuts to Cupcake Wars, vegan bakers are pulling out all the stops to prove that cruelty-free delights are on the rise. Last week, Bethlehem, PA-based Vegan Treats did exactly that by being named one of the world’s top 10 bakeries by American Express’ Departures magazine.
“This honor has proven that we can not only match the quality of a ‘traditional’ bakery, but we can surpass it to be named one of the best in the world,” says Joy Grant, manager of Vegan Treats. “Once again we’ve proven that compassion has never tasted so delicious. Even just one dessert can make a difference.”
The bakery’s menu boasts 36 varieties of cheesecake, 24 cake varieties, a collection of 16 doughnuts, as well as many other delectable treats like cannolis, danishes, and soft-serve ice cream.
Vegan Treats received many honors prior to this, including a Proggy Award for Best Bakery, a nomination for the title of Best Vegan Bakery in VegNews magazine’s 2012 Veggie Awards, and the title of Best Overall in PBS’s Feast of Sweets, taking the prize over dozens of non-vegan bakers.
