An Edinburgh plant-based store has just scooped the award for the "best vegan doughnuts" in the UK.
Considerit, in Newington, are renowned locally for their sweet treats and have now been recognised for their baking prowess.
The family businesses, run by father and daughter duo Barry and Claire Baker, won PETA’s 2020 Vegan Food Award for best vegan doughnuts.
Opening their chocolate, doughnut and ice cream emporium opposite Summerhall in 2017, Considerit has become a foodie favourite in the capital.
As well as artisan chocolate and ice-cream, their creative and wacky doughnuts have kept people lining up over the years, with past creations like blueberry cheesecake and toffee apple crumble.
Co-owner Barry Baker said: “We’re thrilled as an independent family business to have received the award, and we are humbled that our doughnuts are recognised amongst the best plant-based products from major national brands.”
During lockdown, the pair adapted and began doughnut deliveries throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Falkirk, Livingston and Fife.
Barry’s daughter, co-owner Claire Baker said: “The support we received from all our customers over the last six months has been phenomenal.
"We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us with kind messages, introduced a friend to brand, or ordered a doughnut delivery - we wouldn’t be here without you.”
Considerit is currently operating a take-away service, from Wednesday to Sunday, and are planning to re-launch their doughnut deliveries in time for Halloween.
