New Austin Vegan Bakery

Texan disciples of a plant-based diet who crave gourmet desserts are in luck—Austin is now home to Capital City Bakery, a specialty vegan bakery. Currently, founder Kristen Davenport is accepting custom orders and plans to debut her goods for wider distribution at Texas VegFest on March 31. In addition to epicurean cupcakes in flavors such as “Fauxstess,” Peanut-Butter Crunch, and Black Forest, the bakery offers strawberry shortcakes, chocolate-raspberry tarts, and custom layer cakes. A custom food trailer is also in the works, projected to begin street service next month.
