Vegetarian, eggless and natural ice cream Scooperb debuts in West Croydon

First it was the eggless cakes which rocketed in UK and now eggless ice creams!!!
At Scooperb, they specialize in Vegetarian, eggless and natrual ice cream and to be honest many ice cream can be eggless especially fruit ones and sorbets, so the possibilities are endless.
I visited on the opening day so there were so many flavours on offer especially the sugar free ones and there were so many unique flavours to choose from like chikoo, rajbhog, kala jamun, guava and not to mention the regular flavours like strawberry, mint chocolate etc.
I had the chikoo which is an exotic fruit and the texture was soft like sorbet with a seriously natural sweetness unlike stevia or agave which was pleasing and there was a hint of rose in it too.
Also tried mint chocolate which was comforting.
For their other flavours like paan, rajbhog, kala jamun, expect cardamon, rose and spices.
As for any suggestions, I would like to see the ice cream labels in regular fonts to make it easy for the eye as the italic is hard to focus.
Will definitely be going back for more ice cream.

[Review] Eggless Cakes at Golden Cake in Walthamstow

I am not a vegetarian but have an addiction to cakes and tea which I am sure everyone would as well.
As I was in Walthamstow, I discovered Golden Cake which serves Halal, eggless and 100% vegetarian cakes.

There were so many cake slices to choose from and they were only £2 per slice which is the cheapest and prettiest that I have seen so far because they are cut from round cake while some shops like Cake Box serves rectangular slices.








Since I couldn't decide between the caramel cake and the blackforest cake, I got both!!!
Both were soft and fluffy like chiffon but slightly firmer in texture.

The caramel cake totally stole the show, it was light and sweet complimented by the cream.

The black forest was also good but strangely I found it sweeter than the caramel.

The lady there was really friendly as she offered to add more hot water for the tea and asked me if I wanted the door closed because I was sitting by the door.

[Review] Cakes at Vida Bakery

Vida Bakery is another success story, they started off four years ago with stalls at markets and festivals selling cakes free from dairy gluten and egg.
They became so popular that they opened a permanent shop on Brick Lane in the summer of 2018.
Vida Bakery is hard to miss on Brick Lane with its rainbow cake displays.



Inside, you will find captivating cup cakes and cakes to choose from.
The best day to visit would probably be the weekend as they have more cakes to choose from while on weekdays there are only three.













I decided to try the red velvet cup cake and leave the cake for the weekend when there would be more choices.



The red velvet cup cake was shockingly good, the texture was spot on.
I loved the way it was firm yet moist just like your regular cake but this was eggless!!
The cakes are definitely worth trying because they are unsuspectingly eggless and vegan!

Will definitely be coming back.

[Review] Cake Zone Eggless cakes in Croydon

There are currently two branches of Cake Zone in London at the moment, both on London Road.
I went to the Cake Zone on near Croydon for the eggless cakes.


Unfortunately, the selection was smaller than anticipated because I thought they had eclairs and other goodies according to google map.
For the eggless cakes, there were six choices and they all cost £2 per slice.
There was chocolate, black forest, coconut, strawberry, pistachio and rose to choose from.




It was quite difficult to choose even though it was only six choices but basically it was either the chocolate sponge or the Victoria Sponge.
From the cabinet, the coconut looks the best in terms of the sponge and cream but as pistachio is not always offered I went for that.
As for the chocolate sponge, it was either the black forest or the chocolate slice but as the chocolate cream looked like buttercream I went for the black forest.





Overall I was really impressed with these cakes compared to Cake Box because they are fluffier and the sweetness is just right.
The cream for the black forest is a winner here because it is light and fluffy.
Compared to Cake Box, the slices are smaller and do not look as fancy as Cake Box, same goes with the packaging as it does not have tailored made boxes and sleeves which make it difficult when you carry it home.

Revisited Cake Zone again because I was craving for cakes.
This time got the chocolate slice and the Coconut slice.
I am glad I had the coconut there because the box is not tall enough for it and some for the chocolate as the cream on top gets crushed.
Anyway, the coconut slice was amazing, imagine it like a Victoria sponge with coconut on top.



Tried the chocolate slice as well because the chocolate cake looked different to the chocolate cake base in the black forest.
The taste of this one was also amazing, the texture was just like normal cake and the chocolate buttercream was light and not too sweet with a rich chocolate taste.


To summarize, my favourites picks would be the chocolate slice and the coconut slice.
