Blooming Lotus Gourmet Bakery's vegan treats came in at number 20 on Milwaukee Magazine's list of 50 Reasons to Love Milwaukee! The segment states:
Tasted by a certified grain-, egg-, dairy-, gluten- and sugar-loving mouth, the chocolate brownie cupcake from Blooming Lotus Baker (2215 E. North Ave.) - whose kitchen is free from all of the aforementioned - leaves nothing to be desired. Yes, the texture is different - denser and gooier than traditional cupcakes, but by substituting ingredients like coconut palm sugar, quinoa flour and chia seeds (instead of eggs), owner Susan Goulet captures the richness associated with a decadent dessert. Best part is that it won't result in a gut ache. (AC)
