And the winner is....

Atlas Cafe!  Not only do they supply the yummiest vegan desserts - courtesy of "Vegan Treats" - but they have the most extensive menu of vegan foods I have ever seen.  All of their walls are covered in menu options, granted it is a tiny restaurant/take-out place with 7 tables.  Their cupcakes had great presentation (lemon had the pink flower, peanut butter cup had the chocolate top layer with brown lines, cookies 'n cream had the half vegan oreo on top), the frosting was sweet and delicious, and the cake didn't fall apart or taste weird.
Baby Cakes Bakery? Fail. Crumbly and the frosting tasted like butter - ironic?
Sacred Chow? Fail. Not enough frosting, cake tasted like pound cake.
S'nice? Semi-fail. Red velvet didn't really taste like chocolate and the frosting - of course - was not cream cheese.
LifeThyme Natural Foods? Semi-fail (although their sweet potato cupcake frosting was spicy and yummy.)

Day 23 Food Journal:
-trail mix, dried fruit, peanut butter babies (thanks again, Mom!)
-spinach/mushroom soup and grainy bread at Atlas Cafe
-thin crust wheat crust pizza with tomato sauce, mushrooms, and onions
-equivalent of 3 cupcakes since I mostly ate the frosting and left the cakey bits

Shannon Update: she is swamped with work and is still happily vegan!
