It’s January, so it’s time for Veganuary, and a chance to think about cutting back on the amount of meat and animal products we buy. If that seems a step too far with all that’s going on in the world, then I thought I would make it a little less painful and tell you about cakes and other delicious things you can enjoy.
So, let’s start with vegan cakes. What, no eggs, butter and cream? How can a cake be delicious without those? Well, the world of vegan baking has developed in so many ways, and the cakes and bakes you can buy now are amazing. Many cafés will have a vegan option, which is also great for anyone needing to skip dairy.
