My First Vegan Donut

A thing of beauty: a vegan strawberry frosted donut from Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Even more beautiful, it was on sale for $1 (from its regular price of $2).

When I read that Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford, NJ, started offering vegan donuts, I had to try them out! The verdict: tasty. Would go great with a glass of chocolate soy milk or coffee with soy creamer. Just a tad greasy, but I guess it is a donut. More cakey than the non-vegan version you will find at Dunkin' Donuts. I took a strawberry and a chocolate frosted donut home for a taste test, and the strawberry was the absolute favorite.
