Win a year’s supply of vegan sweets

This competition is all about the win/win.

By simply taking part, you will be raising funds for an important social enterprise that is helping tackle homelessness in London. And if you win the comp? You get a one year’s supply of vegan pick n mix.

Oh, yes. You actually can’t lose! Well, you might not win the sweets but you get the meaning. You win by helping.

I suppose you want facts now. Well, I’ve got ’em.

Poster Bakes is an online vegan pick n mix shop founded to raise funds in support of The Connection, a social enterprise helping people move away from the streets of London and towards a happier and more fulfilling life.

The price of a single bag of sweets from Poster Bakes could cover the cost of someone receiving a shower, breakfast, and a cup of coffee in The Connection which in turn opens the doors to more in-depth support.

The vegan pick n mix initiative has been incredibly popular and I have a feeling it is about to go into overdrive.

You can enter this competition for a chance to win one year’s supply of vegan pick n mix from Poster Bakes! You just need to buy some sweets and find a golden ticket in your order.

It’s getting all Willy Wonka up in here!

The competition starts Monday 14th June, 2021 and will be running for a few weeks until Poster Bakes have sent out all their golden tickets tickets.

They will be randomly giving away 5 golden tickets in total, each of which will entitle the winner to a year’s supply of free sweets (a 500g bag every month for 12 months). Winners will be chosen at random from those who have entered the giveaway. This is what you need to do:

I’d love to know if you entered and I’d love to know if you win. Don’t forget who hooked you up with this info if you are suddenly swamped with vegan pick n mix.

Order vegan macaron online

A few years ago, going vegan meant you had to come to the harsh realisation that you would never get to eat some types of food.

But with inventive food creators hard at work to replicate non-vegan delights into more compassionate versions, us plant eaters in 2020 can enjoy treats we long thought were out of reach.

Like macaron!

Macaron is the original cookie sandwich. Traditionally made with egg as a integral ingredient, it was long thought of as a food that would never be recreated successfully for vegan consumers.

People are clever though, so we now have a vegan version of this patisserie favourite that you can order online for UK delivery.

The Adopted Vegan has created a gorgeous product that makes the perfect gift for someone you care about and yes that someone is allowed to be you!

The business sent me a box and I was swept up by the flavours.

Current flavours include:

  • S’mores
  • Apricot Passion Fruit
  • Chocolate caramel
  • Strawberry
  • Rocky Road
  • Red Velvet
  • Pistachio
  • Cookie Dough
  • Chocolate orange
  • Lemon
  • Coconut
  • Chocolate hazelnut

You can head on over to the online shop now and order for UK delivery.

New vegan sweets delivery company

Are you ready for a fabulous and ethical vegan sweets company that will deliver to your home or office?

You got it!

Liberty Vegan Sweets & Gifts is a 100% vegan, family-run enterprise that has spent the past two and a half years exhibiting at vegan festivals and fairs across the UK with Got No Beef Burger Bar and Liberty Vegan Ice Cream & Beverages.

It was at these events that the family behind Liberty Vegan Sweets & Gifts decided to offer vegan pic ‘n’ mix alongside their soft-serve ice cream.

It was a huge lightbulb moment and they decided to plug the huge gap in the market with a fully vegan and ethical sweet store.

They launched their online store of vegan sweet hampers and pic ‘n’ mix boxes in early November 2018 and the response has been fantastic.

Check out some of these photos!

Liberty Vegan Sweets & Gifts try and do the right thing on top of delivering delicious sweets.

They donate 5% of their profits to vegan-friendly charitable causes, their packaging is fully-compostable, recyclable and re-usable, and they offer a range of gluten/soya free options.

Vegan sweets in the UK

Here is a super sweet and super short blog post today.

It is a brief post because Josh and I are currently stuck in traffic on the M6 motorway on our way to Glasgow for Glasgow Vegan Beer Fest this weekend. The traffic has been horrendous and it has taken us about six hours to get from Coventry to Lancaster.

I’ve been passing the time in the car by overeating vegan sweets.

Did you know that Swizzels make a bunch of vegan suitable sweets? You can search their website to find out which products are free of animal ingredients.

Here is what I ended up with today.

Please take special note: the original Drumstick on a stick is NOT VEGANMake sure you hunt out the soft chew version of the sweet if you want vegan-friendly enjoyment.

Also, who doesn’t love Parma Violets?

Best dessert ever

Additional steps:

  • Die happy
