Last August I had the most extraordinary experience when I attended Vida Vegan Con. I learned a great deal on veganism and how to write about it on my blog – and I met people who have become lifelong friends. Kristen Davenport is one of those friends.
Kristen and I have stayed in touch over the past eight months and I have watched her conceive, develop and now launch a vegan bakery.
I want to move to Austin, Texas.
Capital City Bakery is Austin’s newest vegan bakery.
They offer cupcakes, custom layer cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, and other small pastries for special order or wholesale. They will be opening up a food trailer in spring 2012, serving artisan vegan pastries (and vegan dog treats for doggie customers, too). Capital City Bakery was built on a love for food, a desire to foster community, and a passion for providing Austin with high quality pastries made from scratch. All of their baked goods are made fresh daily, cholesterol-free, and made from locally-sourced/organic ingredients when possible.
Capital City Bakery will debut is at Texas VegFest
on March 31st, where they will sell cupcakes and other baked goods. (They are running giveaways for free cupcakes at Texas VegFest via their Facebook page all this week!)
I have only one request of you, my dear readers. Please “like” Capital City Bakery on Facebook
because this is where Kristen will provide up-to-date news and specials. It’s so easy, just click here to like the bakery!
Kristen Davenport is an award-winning baker who has over 5 years of professional food service experience, and has been baking since she was tall enough to see over the kitchen counter. She is a graduate of ACC Culinary in Austin, and has been featured in the Austin Chronicle for her baking efforts. She also won 1st Place in the Vegan Tasting Category in the Austin Cake Show 2011.
Kristen has been vegan for 4 years, and vegetarian for almost a decade. Originally from Louisiana, she was raised in Houston, and has lived in Austin for 4 years with her rescued kitty, Milo.
Kristen will be wholesaling her goods to many of Austin’s local vegan business including: Counter Culture, Rabbit Food Grocery (Austin’s only all-vegan grocery), and Sweet Ritual (she is providing brownies for brownie sundaes). Her goal is to have a storefront where she can teach vegan baking and cooking classes to the Austin Community!
I am so proud of Kristen and cannot wait to watch her bakery, and her passion for vegan baking, soar beyond her wildest imagination!

I don’t have to move to Austin – I’m already her. I look forward to meeting Kristen at Veg Fest and tasting some yummy treats!
Thanks for sharing. I live in Dallas but frequent Austin on a regular basis and look forward to trying out these great looking baked goods.
Thank you for the sweet words, JL! I love that picture of us… that was within the hour of meeting when we ate 4 servings of dinner at Hungry Tiger Too 😉
This is so awesome! I’ll be visiting Austin in September (and maybe scouting out a place to live!) and will totally have to try out some of her sweets. Good luck to her, and liked on FB! 🙂
We love Kristen, so exciting to see her bakery finally open… nothing better than dreams coming true!
