Reader Update - Kind Confections: A Beach Side Vegan Bakery

Posted by Nichole Leigh


Hi Veggie Horizons Readers! I'd like to take a moment to pay homage to one of the first loyal readers Veggie Horizons ever attracted, Sara of Outer Banks, South Carolina. 

You may recall that Sara had great success vending vegan treats for a school bake sale (including the Ultimate Whole Wheat Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie). Well, in the intervening months, Sara has since launched herself into a full-scale foodie business venture. She has opened a vegan bakery in OBX, called Kind Confections: Sweets for your Soul. Her treats look spectacular, and I promise that as soon as she starts shipping them, this author will be one of her first customers.

Here is what Sara had to say about her incredible new bakery!

" Kind Confections: Sweets For Your Soul bakery was born from a bake sale.  I had such a great response from my Vegan baked goods I was inspired to make a bigger effort.  One of the recipes I used that day was Nichole’s “Ultimate Whole Wheat Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie” recipe!  You were a part in my inspiration, I must thank you!  Kind Confections is a 100% Vegan bakery.  We never use animal products in anything we bake.  All of our ingredients are cruelty free, with a huge focus on Organic, All-Natural & Non-GMO.  Under that umbrella we also offer Gluten Free and Allergy Free versions of our baked goods.  Our mission is to be Kind to our bodies, our planet and its inhabitants, all the while making delicious Sweets For Your Soul!  As of now we deliver exclusively to the Outer Banks of North Carolina only, but in the future we hope to ship our desserts.  Scope our website/LookBook to learn more at www.KindConfectionsOBX.com and “LIKE” us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kind-Confections/312953742057806 If you have any questions or just want to say “Hi!” please email me at Sara@KindConfectionsOBX.com" 

Thanks Sara! We're honored to have you as a reader!  

Feedback: Sara and the Ultimate Whole Wheat Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recently, one of our readers, Sara, left us this very lovely comment about the Ultimate Whole Wheat Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies:

"You work with my Mom (P- K-) and she introduced me to your blog a bit back.  My name is Sara I'm her vegetarian daughter who lives on the beach.  My son just started Kindergarten this year and there is a big bake sale I volunteered to participate in on October 1st.  October first is also World Vegetarian Day to kick off Vegetarian Awareness month (October)!  I will have my own little special spot at the bake sale with a variety of Vegan/Vegetarian baked goods made by me, so siked about this!  I wanted to tell you that I did a "test" batch of your chocolate chip cookies above, to see if they were something I would want to offer.  Let me just tell you, OMG DELISH!!!  They are so chocolately and chewy and perfect!  Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and they will definitely be making an appearance at the school bake sale to celebrate World Vegetarian Day!"  ~Sara

And if this warm and much appreciated praise wasn't enough, she also sent along a photo post-bake sale, showing off her wonderful Vegan/Vegetarian table. You can see our cookies on the left!

Thanks for reading Sara, and thanks for keeping us updated. If you've tried out any of our Veggie Horizons recipes, let us know how it went! We'll put up your pictures and comments as well!

Thanks everyone!
