Greg & I made a trip out to Doncaster shopping centre today as I had a pressing need to buy a Mimco headband. Once I had accomplished my mission we were wandering around when we walked past a cupcake stand & Greg noticed that they had vegan cupcakes. I was pretty excited about this so we bought some to take home. They only have two flavours that they do vegan - black & white (which I think is chocolate & vanilla) and red velvet. Black & white are available on Thursday, Friday & Saturday with red velvet being available on the other days. Some of the other flavours that they have sound amazing like baklava, toffee apple & salted caramel so it is a bit disappointing that only the more boring flavours are available in vegan but it is still pretty exciting to be out at a suburban shopping centre & be able to buy a vegan cupcake.
Anyway the cupcakes themselves are quite nice - they are really moist with a rich chocolatey flavour , I wasn't a huge fan of the icing though because it didn't really taste like anything. They are pretty expensive at $4 each but if you happen to be out shopping & need a sugar fix at least there is an available option.

Your right, so great to find them at a suburban shopping centre. I wonder what the red velvet oe is like. I recently found vegan cupcakes at a cafe at chadstone and they also had g/f cupcakes but sadly no g/f vegan cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteThey had g/f cupcakes as well, but no vegan & g/f - annoying!

ReplyDeleteI love you Vicki.
It is a great headband!
ReplyDeleteI recon shops are gonna start bringing in more and more vegan products, just think a few years ago there was no Gluten free or much vegetarian things available, now theres heaps!
ReplyDeleteAnyway it looks yummy, although not better than the carrot cake i made yesterday ;)

I think so too, there is definitely more of an awareness now of what vegan is. Home made carrot cake would beat this hands down!
ReplyDeleteOh no, I was at Doncaster but didn't notice these :(
ReplyDeletep.s Mimco make the BEST headbands :)
ReplyDeleteMandee - I am so impressed with how much you packed into your Melbourne trip - you went heaps of places!
