“Cupcake Wars” Vegan Winner Goes For The All Stars Trophy
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 8th, 2011 in Film & TV, Food & Drink, Reality TV.
It’s time for another round of vegan cupcake competition on the Food Network.
Earlier this year, Doron Petersan, owner of D.C.’s Sticky Fingers Bakery, won the competition on the network’s Cupcake Wars, where she raced against another vegan baker in the quest to impress the judges with her desserts like chocolate seltzer cake topped with ganache, banana crème frosting.
Petersan will once again be competing, this time on an all star episode of Cupcake Wars. The chefs are aiming for the opportunity to bake for the VIP party at the 65th annual Tony Awards.
When Petersan won Cupcake Wars, she told VegNews, “Even professional bakers are realizing that vegan baking methods can hold their own in the mainstream baking world, which has, up until now, been ruled by eggs and butter. Those aren’t the only two ingredients you can use in baking that taste great, or that give you the results you desire. It’s now two seasons in a row where dairy and eggs took a back seat to healthier and tastier alternatives.”
The all star episode of Cupcake Wars featuring Petersan will air Tuesday, July 12.
