Plant-based Easter Cakes & Bakes
Easter is a time for chocolate and a bit of overindulgence, but if you’re trying to make plant-based choices over the Easter season, it can be tricky. Here at Merchant Gourmet, we’re proud to say that you can have your cake and eat it too, when it comes to plant-based indulgence.
