If you have ever wondered what is the most decadent thing I have ever had delivered to my house, you are about to see.
Bakery business Cinnamon Square is based in Hertfordshire and they specialise in square cinnamon buns. Yes, square!
They have made quite a name for themselves by selling these decadent and over the top square buns and now they are out to impress plant-based eaters as well.
Check out this huge box of the vegan square cinnamon buns I was sent by Cinnamon Square.
My box contained nine square buns packed tightly into the box, all smothered in rich and irresistible frosting.

When a company sells something as vegan when it isn’t really vegan.
One of my readers recently reached out to me with some information about Doughtnut Time in London selling a DIY vegan donut kit that included non-vegan ingredients.
The reader pushed Doughnut Time for clarification on the vegan status of this kit and this is what they found out:
I recently noticed that Doughnut Time were selling a vegan DIY donut kit which included Cookie Crisp cereal. As you know, most mainstream breakfast cereals are not vegan due to the vitamin D being derived from lambs wool. I contacted Doughnut Time to let them know this but they didn’t understand and said they looked at the ingredients and said there were no ‘active’ animal ingredients.
I then contacted Nestle to double check to make sure I was not wrong and they confirmed to me that the Cookie Crisp cereal is not vegan as it contains vitamin D derived from lambs wool. (They were actually very helpful and we’re able to tell me this immediately).
I then went back to Doughnut Time to let them know that Nestle confirmed to me that the product is not vegan because of the vitamin D.
They asked me to send them the correspondence between myself and Nestle, which I did. I also let them know that they could contact Nestle themselves to confirm. I advised them to stop selling the product or at least remove the Cookie Crisp as this is misleading to vegans.
They did not respond after this, however they are still selling the product labelled as vegan. They have added to the list of Cookie Crisp ingredients: ‘contains vitamin D’. This of course is not a resolution to the problem as they are still labelling a non-vegan product as vegan.
Since I was alerted by my reader, Doughnut Time has taken off a line in the item description that explicitly stated this kit was all-vegan. However, it still carries the (vg) label.
It also now features a disclaimer that the product contains vitamin D.
This blog post is just a heads up for anyone who has been confused by the labelling and marketing of the kit. It isn’t vegan now and has never been vegan.
As a company that markets a lot of products at vegans, it would be helpful if Doughnut Time had complete transparency and tell people they messed up.
A clear disclaimer on the product page that it isn’t suitable for vegans would also be the very lest they could do.

Apparently their is another heatwave coming for this weekend in London, so you probably should know about this vegan ice cream option in Angel.
Launched this summer by Copperhouse Chocolate, the rich and smooth ice creams are coconut milk-based. In even more tempting news, the chocolate ice creams on the menu are flavoured with their very own Copperhouse Chocolate drinking chocolate mixes.
That’s right, London. You have a vegan chocolate shop. You knew this, right?
Exclusively available in the Copperhouse Chocolate cafe in Angel, you can have a scoop with a brownie or waffles, try a milkshake, or they can fill a take-home tub for you.
Mint Chocolate ice cream, made using their Mintchievous Hot Chocolate, is one of the most favourite flavours for milkshakes. Other rotating flavours include Coffee Caramel, made with Monmouth Coffee and swirled with Coconut Salted Caramel, and Raspberry Chocolate made with Raspberry Dream hot chocolate and swirled with a homemade raspberry puree.
It all sounds fabulous!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vegan-friendly supplement marketed at men who partake in anal intercourse, but in 2020 there are new horizons.
When I posted about vegan bondage harnesses a while ago, I lost thousands of followers on social media. Actually thousands.
Wonder if this will get a similar result?
Pure For Men market these capsules at men who want to maintain regular bowel movements so they can be prepared at anytime for anal intercourse.
Check the images below to see the ingredients, which include psyllium husk and black chia seed powder, housed in vegan friendly capsules.
Of course you don’t have to be a man interested in anal intercourse to take these capsules, but I did find it interesting that is how they are being marketed. With the tag line Stay Clean Stay Ready, this might be the first time I have ever seen a product marketed in this manner.
Follow Pure For Men on Instagram if you want to know more about this vegan-suitable supplement or order online.
I got a taste of Brixton delivered to my house a few days ago and it was delicious!
Brixton Brewery sent me a few cans of their Coldharbour Lager and they went straight into the fridge to chill. They didn’t survive too much longer.
Do you like beer? Keep reading.
What do the Brixton Brewery style/taste notes say about this vegan beverage? It’s a lager that is crisp, clean, and floral. It is fresh, vibrant, and alive with flavour. The ABV is 4.4%.
You can order online for UK delivery and get free shipping for orders over £30. You can also buy takeout from the Brixton Brewery Taproom on Station Road, right in the heart of Brixton.
