Sticky Fingers' Vegan Sweets

A two-time Food Network Cupcake Wars winner shares her scrumptious dessert recipes that will have vegans and omnivores alike clamoring for more.
 
When Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats opened in 2002, it instantly became one of the most popular bakeries in Washington, D.C.—a bakery that just happens to be vegan. Soon, Sticky Fingers was voted D.C.’s best bakery by the Washington City Paper, and chef Doron Petersan found herself beating out traditional bakers on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars.

Sticky Fingers’ Vegan Sweets is packed with one hundred of Petersan’s beloved recipes—from indulgent snacks such as Fudgetastic Brownies and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to breakfast treats including Pecan Spice Coffee Cake and Cranberry Ginger Scones, and from celebratory desserts such as Chocolate Seltzer Cake and Red Velvet Cupcakes to Sticky Fingers’ most popular sweets: Little Devils, Cowvins, and Sticky Buns. Petersan also includes “love bite” nutritional tips and valuable tricks-of-the-trade techniques that every home baker will appreciate.

Sticky Fingers’ Vegan Sweets and Petersan’s delectable—and secretly healthy—recipes will be greeted enthusiastically by anyone and everyone who loves to bake.“Every single one of Doron’s desserts proves that veganism leaves zero to be desired. For years her passion and dedication have been celebrated by everyone who has set foot in her bakery. Now, with this book, you don’t have to be in D.C. to experience the magic of Sticky Fingers.”
