From gluten-free to cupcakes in a jar, this list has it all!
Once upon a time, vegan cupcakes were limited to store-bought, vanilla, and overpriced. Luckily, our options have expanded exponentially, and there are now countless vegan bakeries and restaurants whipping up plant-based versions of your favorite dessert. Here are five places to find a delicious vegan cupcake in Los Angeles.
