     Muffins, scones, cookies, cheesecakes and wedding cakes made without butter, cream or eggs? Huh? It just so happens that they’re all available at vegan bakeries in our fair city, thanks to a growing number of young, post-health-food-generation bakers committed to culinary creativity and the local-and-organic ethic.
     There’s no need to be a card-carrying vegan to enjoy their sweet and savory offerings or to expect an inferior version of the muffins or quiche you find elsewhere. Do expect top-quality coffee. You’ll also likely find at least a small selection of gluten-free items.

FOODIE TRIP TO PORTLAND, PART 2: VEGAN BAKERIES

The Dovetail Bakery front door

When Julie told me that Portland had 3-- count 'em- 3 vegan bakeries, I nearly fell over! I'm jealous, but it's probably for the best! The most well-known bakery is Sweetpea Baking Co., which we didn't get a chance to visit, due to time constraints and logistics. But you can see their stuff on their website/blog. (There is also a talented vegan baker named Lisa Clark who Fran and I met at the Portland Saturday Farmers Market-- more about that in another post. She runs the Petunia's Pies and Pastries stall. Check out her website for mouth-watering photos!)

But we did visit two of the bakeries on Thursday afternoon, and showed remarkable restraint by only sampling a few things! First, we went to the Dovetail Bakery on NE Alberta St..



It's a very welcoming and kind of peaceful place:





We chatted with the friendly owner and checked out the bake case, loaded with tempting sweet and savory breads, yummy-looking muffins and cupcakes, sweet loaves and buns:







In the end we tried an apple-filled cinnamon roll and a Meyer lemon cupcake:


Very nice texture and flavor-- the cupcake wasn't overly-sweet or gobbed with icing, and the roll wasn't overly-gooey. I'd go back!
