Vegan Halloween cakes, doughnuts and treats available in Hong Kong
- Eyeball cupcake toppers, pumpkin cookies, seasonal doughnuts – all these cruelty-free products and more can be found in Hong Kong
- You’d be surprised at how much vegan confectionery there is at supermarkets
Trying to find treats to share at Halloween can be frustrating for many vegans. There are always home-baked snacks, of course, but busy lives usually mean a supermarket scramble is far more feasible than spending time in the kitchen ahead of a party.
And while the US tradition of “trick or treating” – going from door-to-door in Halloween costumes greeting neighbours to receive confectionery – might be less common in Hong Kong, that doesn’t mean vegans of any age should miss out on the fun.
Here are a few local businesses that cater to vegans at this most spooktacular time of year.
The Cakery
Vegan cafe The Cakery has launched a seasonal range of its signature bakes. It includes a festively large version of its salted caramel popcorn cupcake, featuring caramel-infused cream and coated with dairy-free chocolate.
The shop also sells eyeball and witch hat “cupcake toppers” for if you want to add professional flair to your own bakes or as an add-on to one of their classic vegan cupcakes: Day Dreamer (chocolate), Salted Caramel Popcorn, Figging Amazing (fig), Cup’o Joe (coffee), Apple Crumble and To a Tea (Earl Grey).
From HK$22. Order online at thecakery.com or buy at The Cakery, Shop 124, 1/F, Lee Garden Two, 28 Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay
