A Nod to Tradition with a Modern Twist
The Impastelito is crafted with high-quality, savory ingredients, including Impossible Meat, red peppers, onions, pizza sauce, garlic, and a blend of Cuban seasonings. All of this goodness is wrapped in a flaky, vegan pastelito dough, creating the perfect balance of crunch and flavor. Impossible Foods has made waves in the plant-based world, and this collaboration with Vicky Bakery brings a classic Cuban favorite to an even broader audience.
“With the same flavor profile we all know and love, the Impastelito stays true to Cuban tradition while offering a delicious, meatless alternative,” said Amy Cao, Managing Partner of Vicky Bakery. “Whether you’re vegan, plant-curious, or just looking to try something new, this pastelito has you covered.

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
