Besides being the first vegan ever to be selected for a Food Network competition, Chef Chloe Coscarelli was crowned as the winner of the event known as Cupcake Wars, a bakeoff series seen by some 90 million viewers on the popular US-based Food Network TV channel.

The 23-year-old chef initially gained favorable attention with the judges in presenting her creative and extravagant “Alice in Wonderland”  themed cupcakes.

Her products remained favorites throughout the friendly competition, and were all entirely vegan, made without any trace of dairy or eggs. The ultimate winners included such delectable versions as the Ginger Nutmeg Spice with Date Caramel Drizzle, the Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake, and the Raspberry Tiramisu.

With the judges describing her treats as “perfect” as well as “flawless and beautiful,” Chef Chloe was awarded US$10,000 along with the opportunity to provide 1,000 of her winning flavors for OK! Magazine’s celebrity party in Beverly Hills immediately after her win.

A big bravo, Chef Chloe Coscarelli on this deserved achievement in your vegan culinary career! With chefs as yourself, surely the public will soon come to know the scrumptious and humane delights of plant-based fare.
