Troy, N.Y. -- The vegan food revolution has taken hold in every corner of America, and nowhere is that trend more evident (and delicious!) than at Troy's X's to O's Vegan Bakery. That's why X's to O's is in the running for a Libby Award in the category of Best Vegan Bakery from peta2, PETA's youth division. Now in their seventh year, the 2012 Libby Awards ("Libby" for "liberation," as in animal liberation) include 22 categories.
"More and more young people are insisting that the music they listen to, the clothes they wear, and, especially, the food they eat reflect their strong feelings in favor of animal rights," says PETA Youth Marketing Manager Emily Rodriguez. "All our nominees are winners because they're meeting the demands of compassionate kids and helping animals at the same time."
X's to O's makes a full line of baked goods that contain no milk, eggs, cholesterol, or trans fats, and they're made with organic ingredients whenever possible. Even the sugars are a cut above: organic evaporated cane juice and organic Sucanat (an unrefined sugar). Some of the bakery's unique creations include Chocolate Peanut Butter Orgasm Cake, a two-layer chocolate cake drizzled with peanut butter and chocolate over peanut butter frosting, and the Snickers, a two-layer peanut butter cake with chocolate frosting and caramel in the middle, drizzled with chocolate ganache and caramel over chocolate frosting—available in sizes ranging from 6 inches to full sheets. The dairy-free cheesecakes—which can be made gluten-free—include cherry, turtle brownie, smore, chocolate chip, and peanut butter varieties. And don't miss the brownies—always moist and super-chocolaty. Looking for a hearty and healthy holiday pie? X's to O's is your place.
Voting ends on December 17. Winners will be chosen by peta2 based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced on December 19. See the full contest details here.
