A Totally Fabulous Time at the 8th Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off
On Sunday, March 20th, 2016, more than 500 people came out to share in the tasting of samples from approximately 50 bakers at the 8th 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 Redpath Sugar, Dare Candy Co , Back Clinics and Magic Oven. Host and bake-off co-founder Lisa Pitman announced the winners in each category, who were chosen by attendees as well as three head judges: Corey Burt of Wishing Well Farm Sanctuary, Amanda Sommerville of Through Being Cool Bakery, and Dr. Tushar Mehta, local vegan MD.
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.
Congratulations to the winners! Photos care of Lawrence Fajardo and Katrine Gahol.
