CNN has some great coverage of Global Vegan Bake Sale, an event that officially ends today.

According to the article, over 120 groups across six continents held bake sales to show people how delicious dairy, poultry and cruelty-free desserts can be.

Pictures of bake sales from New York, Romania, Australia and Ireland can be found in a slideshow on the site.

We think we spy some vegan peanut butter chocolate cups that look inspired by a recipe from Alicia Silverstone‘s cookbook, The Kind Diet.

You know you’re finally a vegan when you no longer cheat and lick the spoon when making cookie dough with dairy.

Or when you don’t lick the spoon after making tuna fish sandwich.

That’s what Davina Reeves, Miss New York USA, was accustomed to before she made the switch.

Now she still makes her boyfriend’s tuna sandwich, but he’s the only one of the duo that eats Charlie.

Reeves made the decision to change her diet after suffering from several health issues and skin flare ups, according to IEatGrass.

Reeves hooked up with a vegan chef who suggested she meet with a nutritionist who taught her to combine complex carbs with plant based protein and non dairy calcium.

“Playing around with new restaurants or cooking new recipes. It’s kinda fun to think food of a beautiful gift. I think, “What can I find?” said Reeves.

Reeves will make an appearance at a free workshop on Holistic Living at the New York Open Center on May 1 at 7:30 PM to share her stories of health and healing.
