This doughnut was created in collaboration with John Whaite as part of a charity initiative to raise money for 'akt' as part of their Pride events in 2024. I tried this about two weeks ago, in August. Here in the UK, Pride Month is held in June, however Crosstown state on their website that their … Continue reading Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll

Ben’s Cookies vegan double chocolate
A new try whilst in London recently. I have had this before but this was the first time I remembered to take pictures so I could actually comment on it properly. I know that Ben's Cookies have a presence around the UK, but I can only find one if I go into London. On this … Continue reading Ben’s Cookies vegan double chocolate
Little Pudding apple crumble cinnamon bun
I think that food may have peaked. My husband and I decided to have a little explore of London the other week and to go down some of the side alleys we have always walked past but never actually explored. I may be a little biased here, but I think London is truly one of … Continue reading Little Pudding apple crumble cinnamon bun
Laduree chocolate raspberry macaron
Despite what this blog may suggest, my favourite thing in the entire food world is a French macaron. I could eat these all day, every day and never ever get sick of them. Annoyingly, vegan versions are very hard to come across but when I find any, I will push a queue out of the … Continue reading Laduree chocolate raspberry macaron
Dunkin Donuts Boston creme
I see a lot online about how a Boston Creme doughnut is the best doughnut in America. Here in the UK, you don't really get anything with Boston Creme, so I can't really comment on whether or not that may be true. But luckily Dunkin' Donuts came through and has finally brought the beloved Boston … Continue reading Dunkin Donuts Boston creme
Dunkin Donuts original glaze
I know that Dunkin Donuts is an American brand, but we have had a few Dunkin stores in the UK for at least 10 years at this point. Annoyingly though, for years they never offered anything vegan so I never had any real need to visit a local Dunkin store since I knew I couldn't … Continue reading Dunkin Donuts original glaze
Ben’s Cookies vegan chocolate chunk
It is actually pretty hard to find a good vegan cookie these days. Now I don't mean biscuits - like you're bourbons, Jammie Dodgers, Pink Panthers etc - I mean actual cookies. Like the homemade kind. I have found that very few places offer a proper cookie, and those that do tend to be either … Continue reading Ben’s Cookies vegan chocolate chunk
Mr Pretzels vegan Cinnamon sugar pretzel
Soft pretzels are not a big thing here in the UK and there are only (at least from what I have seen during my time) a few places that even offer these. I know they are quite a big thing in America, but here in the UK we tend to favour the hard, crunchy pretzels. … Continue reading Mr Pretzels vegan Cinnamon sugar pretzel
Doughnut Time Strawberry Shortcake
It's been a while since I had a Doughnut Time, but I had a real craving for the sugar. Now Doughnut Time seem to change their menu selection on a very regular basis, so I am not sure how readily available all of their doughnuts are, nor how new they tend to be as I … Continue reading Doughnut Time Strawberry Shortcake
Doe Bakehouse Pumpkin Spiced donut
Another wonderful find in York and another reason why I am seriously ocnsidering moving to this gorgeous city. Now no doubt you will all know how much I love donuts - they are a true comfort food that very rarely ever lets me down. No matter my mood, a donut will always make it better … Continue reading Doe Bakehouse Pumpkin Spiced donut
