🍪 Bright Vegan Bites By Bathing Suit Baker
“I’ve been working in a non-vegan bakery where I never got to try the products,” says Dylan, the baker behind the Bathing Suit Baker, “so I wanted to work on a treat that I can share, but also eat myself.”
Dylan has kept up with a vegan diet for 4 years, operating a plant-based cookie shop via Instagram. On a morning where laundry slipped his mind, Dylan showed up to work wearing a bathing suit, becoming a running joke that coined the concept for the Bathing Suit Baker.
These cookies hold a pillow-like texture with a soft interior; a different sensorial experience than your typical cookie. Many other bakers strive to harness a gooey bite or busy texture, but Dylan’s cookies focus on an airy chew that melts in your mouth. Cue the cute cookies!
🍫 Cookies & Cream
This cookie has crushed Oreos incorporated in it, topped with a white cream, and sprinkled with Oreo crumbs. This creation offers an Oreo cookie taste presented in a fluffier texture. The cream and crumb combination adds complexity to the pillow-like texture.
🧁 Vanilla
The subtle sweetness of this cookie emulates an Italian wedding cookie. This creation is their twist on an Angitnetti cookie, which features a lemon drop flavor. Unlike the traditional Italian cookie, however, the Bathing Suit Baker’s vanilla cookie emphasizes sweetness more than tartness.
🍂 Snickerdoodle
If you’re looking for fall-vibe treats, this Snickerdoodle cookie offers a hint of cinnamon for a taste of autumn. The cookie is coated with a cinnamon cream that isn’t overwhelmingly sweet, and topped with chocolate sprinkles for added texture and visual interest.
🥧 Apple Pie
This adorable cookie offers a homely aroma with a hint of Granny Smith apple. The warm spices add to the nostalgic taste of the cookie, as it makes a good comfort dessert when you’re looking for a smiling bite. The green sprinkles are a cute touch that make the cookie more aesthetically-pleasing.
The array of cookie flavors also include coconut, orange, and lemon. The vegan bites are sold by the dozen for $15, where visitors can mix & match selections through reaching out on their social channels (linked below).
Dylan’s vegan diet was catalyzed by his concern for animals, though he learned more about environmental and health benefits of veganism since. His passion for creating baked bites led to this new endeavor, offering the Orlando community a new vegan treat to look out for.
“I love seeing smiles and making peoples’ day in clean way,” clarifies Dylan, “It’s all about having sweet treats that are also cruelty-free!”
