This post is part of the Vegan Month of Food - or VeganMoFo to you and me. To learn more about VeganMoFo, click here.Are you sitting down? I have some astounding news.
I have previously sung the praises of the divine Ms Cupcake whose beautiful vegan cupcakes are the vegan baked goods of your dreams - a riot of buttercream in candy colours take you back to the best kids parties you've been too - and sometimes there's even a cherry on top.
I didn't think there could be another vegan cupcake as good.
And then, to my shock and awe, there was.
Yes, the Cat and the Cream is just as good. It's a different proposition to Ms Cupcake - if Ms Cupcake is a unicorns and rainbows, then Cat and the Cream is an orchid and an espresso. Or something.
It's a more restrained, arch cupcake - less sweet, with layers of bitter chocolate chips and fresh fruit - but with the traditional fluffy mound of icing on top to please any cupcake connoisseur.
If you want to get your hands on these cakey joys, you can find them at several branches of Wholefoods (including the one in Soho, where I found this banana walnut wonder)...
...And this fine, fine pear and hazelnut example of the species.
If you fancy cheating on your usual cupcake with something new, I can think of no better recipient of your affections.

mmm, will have to track these down next time I'm in London!
ReplyDeleteI tried some of the Cat and the Cream cupcakes when I was last in London. I think I tried a hazelnut chocolate cake but pear, hazelnut & chocolate chip sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteWow, they do look decadent and delicious!
