London vegan news, reviews & events
Get your credit card at the ready. It is time to order Christmas cookies, brownies, fudge and even lemon curd online and have them delivered to your home!
Keep scrolling to see the gorgeous haul of vegan treats delivered to my house yesterday by the award-winning Hannah Banana Bakery.
Need quick and simple icing for cake decorating purposes? Of course you do!
Pop into your local Sainsbury’s for these squeezy tubes of convenience.
Both tubes have the word ‘vegan’ printed on the reverse and both can be found in the baking section of the supermarket. As you can see in the photo, the tubes come with three piping nozzles for creating designs and lettering.
Have you tried these cake toppings?
Dear everyone.
This is the best dessert in the history of desserts.

One of the biggest coffee chains in the UK has started selling a vegan sweet treat just in time for Christmas.
Check it out below!
My 4th annual vegan Day of the Dead party on Sunday was incredible. From the food to the guests to the atmosphere, the event was outstanding fun.
One of the most-loved dishes served up by Chef Julio (and his helpers Carlos and Josh) was the decadent dessert. This final plate of the night broke sweetness records and pushed the boundaries of sugar decency.
Check it out:
What do you think?
The plate featured a gooey chocolate brownie in a sea of choc fudge sauce, topped with vanilla frozen yogurt dusted with a mix of chile, hibiscus, salt and sugar.
I want to give a massive shout out to Coconut Collaborative for the vanilla frozen yogurt alternative. The company furnished our party with a mammoth freezer bag of the good stuff.
You can buy all of their flavours in most major supermarkets and independent health food stores. My favourite is the chocolate version but this vanilla was perfectly suited to the brownie dish.
Need some vegan Halloween candy?
You got it!
Get into Co-operative supermarkets this week for these inexpensive bags of lollipops that are handily labelled as being suitable for vegans.
Do you hand out vegan sweets on Halloween at your house?
Yep. It’s that time of year, folks.
Vegan advent calendar time!
I saw this early Christmas treat on the shelves of my local Sainsbury’s this week.
Have you tried it? Have you seen any other vegan Christmas items out and about already?
How is this for a guest post?
Alex has written in with a stunning review of The Hidden Treasure Tea Room in Exeter.
I don’t want to go there, I need to go there.
Take it away, Alex.
I was at a recent Morrissey concert in London when the legendary singer asked a peculiar (and awesome) question from the stage.
He wanted to know where he could buy ‘a vegan wagon wheel’ and of course he was talking about the fabulous Round Up bars made by Ananda Foods.
These gorgeous treats are available in many stores around the UK, including Ms Cupcake and Vx here in London.
I visited the Ananda stand at VegfestUK London yesterday and was delighted to see (and buy and eat) a special limited edition version of the Round Up for Halloween. It was an explosion of biscuit, chocolate, marshmallow and jam.
Look at this fabulous thing!
Yes!
Get on over to the Ananda Foods stand today on the second day of VegfestUK London to pick one up, or reach out to them via their online shop to see where you can find your very own Halloween Round Up.
You can also like Ananda Foods on Facebook and like them on Twitter.
A change in season means a change in cupcake flavours at Ms. Cupcake in Brixton.
I spotted this gorgeous autumnal flavour during a recent visit.
Other flavours for the cooler weather include Lemon Matcha, Speculoos, Black Bottom (with cream cheese baked in!), Apple Crumble Custard and finally, Blackberry.
How GORGEOUS do all of those sound?
Catch the special seasonal varieties until November in store and visit the Ms Cucpake stand at VegfestUK London on October 10 and 11, 2015.
