Red velvet, vegan cupcake at Philly Cupcake

Craving an elegant, moist vegan cupper but don't feel like baking? Check out Philly Cupcake. Although they are not a vegan bakery, I applaud them for offering delectable vegan options. All cupcakes are displayed in an ornate, semi-Baroque glass case, which visually elevates the baked goods to precious museum object status. At $4 a pop, they are definitely a splurge. But they're worth the money; the red velvet cupcake was sublime: moist, hedonistically creamy frosting and as fresh as they come. Selections change daily.

I haven't yet made it to all-vegan, gluten-free Sweet Freedom, but from what the Philly vegan cognoscenti are saying, it's da bomb.
