That is right. VBaked is opening a small retail counter next door to the baking kitchen on 22nd and Jackson in the Central District. Also opening in the very same space is a Vegan and 50% Gluten Free Savory Counter. We are currently doing a light build-out so, get ready folks. It will be a matter of weeks if not sooner before we open the door to this wonderful addition to Brown Sugar Baking Company and The Urban Buggy family.

We will sell Vegan and Gluten Free Baked Goods as well as local Artisan baked goods at the Sweet Counter, to include but not limited to, Brownies, Cupcakes, Sweet Breads, Cookies, Cinnamon Rolls, Cakes, Pies and other sweet treats. At the Savory Counter, we will offer take home items such as No Chik Chick’n Salad, Black Eyed Pea Sausage, Cure Anything Power Vegetable Soup, The Best Vegan Chili on the West Coast, Mushroom Sloppy Joes, Red Beans and Clean Dirty Rice, Stewed Tomato Greens with Black Eyed Peas, Tempeh Bac’n Mac and Cheeze and a few more items which includes sandwiches and wraps.

Also, we will have a variety of items from local vendors for sale.

If you are a local vendor and would like to sell at this wonderful addition to the CD, please do not hesitate to contact Brown Sugar Baking Company at 206.538.0881

Cinnamon V Bun

ImageThe Art of Vegan Cinnamon Buns

Mastering Cinnamon Buns were always a challenge for me. Truth be told, I had never made cinnamon rolls until last year. I was intimidated by the dough. More so, I was intimidated by the kneading the dough, rolling out the dough and of course, proofing the dough.

I was great at making cookies. I mix and bake those with my eyes closed. Cakes, well, 9 out of 10 times, I made the perfect cake. But, anything with dough; pie, bread, pizza, cinnamon buns, I was not going to even attempt.

Last year, I was forced to make the Ultimate Vegan Cinnamon Bun. Well not forced. I actually opened my big mouth and told someone, “I can make these wonderful Cinnamon Rolls.”

It took me two tries. Just two and the Cinnamon V Buns were created to marvel all tastes buds.Image

Now, I sell these Cinnamon V Buns at a local restaurant under the business name Brown Sugar Baking Company.

In Spring 2013, we will be launching our online store and in Spring of 2014 look for our Vegan baking cook book.

Until then I will post photos, a few recipes and lots of tips throughout the year.

Did you know that you can freeze your cinnamon buns?

Just use any standard cinnamon roll recipe. Mix, roll and fill, shape, and freeze. Just seal the shaped rolls in a plastic bag and pop in the freezer. I like to freeze mine right in the pan.  The night before I need to bake them, I take them out of the freezer to thaw and rise. Bake according to the suggested time and temperature. As they are cooling, glaze.
