A Totally Fabulous Time at the 7th Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off

On Sunday, March 15th 2015, more than 550 people came out to share in the tasting of samples from 50 bakers at the 7th Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off.

Dozens of vegetarian businesses donated an incredible array of fantastic prizes to award to our winners, including our premium sponsors Natura, Redpath Sugar, Dare Candy Co and Magic Oven. Host Kimberley Carrol announced the winners in each category, who were chosen by attendees as well as three head judges: Ashley Wittig of Bunner’s Bake Shop, Vanessa Robak of the Steady, and Chris Colohan of Vegan Magic Bacon Grease.

We would like to thank the amazing team of more than 50 volunteers who made this event possible, as well as all the bakers who put so much effort into making their fabulous treats (The Blue Tree Clinic).

Congratulations to the winners! Photos care of Lawrence Fajardo and Dorea Reeser
