Vegan Treats - Where Decadence Meets Ethically Made

Posted By Amy Davies on February 2025

If there’s one thing we absolutely love at Rebel Romance, it’s a business that dares to be different. Enter Vegan Treats, the Pennsylvania-based bakery that’s serving up pure indulgence—without a trace of animal products. Based in Bethlehem, this iconic bakery has been making waves in the world of sweets since 1998, proving that cruelty-free vegan confections can be just as luscious, if not more, than their non-vegan counterparts.

Founded by the visionary Danielle Konya, Vegan Treats has gone from a local gem to an internationally renowned bakery, even earning a spot on American Express’s list of the top ten bakeries in the world. With just one look at their offerings is enough to make anyone swoon—vegan or not! From elaborately decorated cakes to spooky-chic chocolates, every creation is a masterpiece of artistry and flavour.

Vegan Treats isn’t just about making cruelty-free desserts; it’s about making art. Their bakes are a delicious marriage of gothic elegance and playful whimsy, with stunningly detailed designs that make you almost—almost—hesitate to dig in.
