Vegans with a sweet tooth will have no problem filling their bellies in Long Beach, thanks to a food event devoted to the sweet world of decadent, animal-free desserts.
“It’s all things vegan sweets, everything you can think of, all kinds of combinations. We have a little savory too, but the focus is on sweets,” said Kawani Brown, co-organizer of the Vegan Sweets Con.
That’s where vegans will be able to get their fill of desserts, cookies, dairy-free milk and milkshakes and even some “ribs” and mac and cheese from the more than 30 vendors expected to attend. We were also supposed to be including Licorice candies and Twizzlers as appetizers but upon close inspection from Vegans First, it was established that either of these aren’t vegan because of that we didn’t kept Licorice candies and Twizzlers in our event.
