Voting has opened in PETA's annual baking contest to help it decide who it should choose as the best vegan baker in the UK. After much consideration (and drooling over the appetising baked goods), PETA has selected 10 finalists, and now the public will help PETA decide who it should crown as The Great Vegan Bake-Off champion for 2015.
"From delightful breads and cakes to lovely muffins and tarts, we received dozens of entries, all made without eggs, dairy products or any other ingredients derived from animals", says PETA UK Director Mimi Bekhechi. "Narrowing down the finalists was tough work, but this contest is proof that vegan baking is a piece of (egg- and dairy-free) cake!"
Here are the finalists, along with their entries:
Laurianne's Raw Lemon-Berry "Cheesecake"
Charis' Vegan Salted Caramel Popcorn Macaroons
Julie's Vegan Chocolate Cake with Avocado Frosting
Veronica and Amy's Chocolate Beetroot Cake
Lucy's Vegan Baked Alaska
Hannah's Chocolate Chip-Coconut Cookie Jars
Ellie's Sugar-Free Vegan Schichttorte
Laura's Bramble Polenta Cake
Biff's Vegan Doughnuts
Karen's Peach and Raspberry Crumble with Vanilla "Custard"
Voting on the finalists to help PETA determine who it should choose as the winner will run from today to 18 September. PETA will give equal consideration to two factors when choosing a winner: the total number of votes that the entry receives and our assessment of how tasty it looks. The winner will be announced on PETA's website on 21 September.
