Pattycake Vegan Bakery
Imagine a dessert relatively free of dietary guilt, one that is not a piece of fruit or a Yoplait-or associated with any dairy or animal products, for that matter. Imagine this dessert is a moist, delicious cake, with rich butter cream icing. Now, consider that this dessert has the ability to change the world, from the way it tastes, to the good things the ingredients can do for the body and for the environment simultaneously.
Believe it or not, this dream comes to life every day at Pattycake Vegan Bakery in Clintonville, where owner Jennie Scheinbach conjures up entirely vegan Tollhouse cookies, peanut butter mousse cake and "lovely lemon" cupcakes with lemon "butter cream" frosting. They taste as good, if not better, than the real thing. But then, there's nothing unreal about them, with all-organic, totally animal-product-free ingredients.
Scheinbach started this Columbus sensation in May of 2005. First, Pattycake goods were available at the Clintonville Community Market, then at Cup o' Joe locations throughout the city. Now treats are available for walk-in purchases or special orders directly from the friendly and sunshine-filled bakery. Pattycake is also committed to being a sustainable production, from trash composting to bike deliveries to cookie packaging that is 100 percent biodegradable.
