Our talented vegan baker Caitlyn has done it again this week… she’s whipped up a vegan version of a Tres Leches Cake!! 🌿😻 What is Tres Leches you ask? It’s a soft cake soaked in three kinds of milk (plant based for our version though!), topped with a velvety whipped cream, cinnamon, & fresh strawberry! 🍓🍰 We obviously had to taste test the off cuts (hard gig we have), & boy oh boy it is DELICIOUS! We’ll be open all weekend Saturday & Sunday 9am-3pm, kitchen closes 2pm daily, serving coffee/scones/cake till close! ☕️🌞
