Great Vegan Bake-Off – Previous Winners
PETA’s Great Vegan Bake-Off launched in 2013 and has been a massive success – dozens of bloggers have shown off their baking prowess. Last year, the finalists made a splash, and many of their blogs and recipes were featured in local and national media. This year, the competition is set to be even more exciting.
