Cakes without cruelty
A growing number of people in the UK are moving away from eggs over concerns about how hens are used in the egg industry.
“Egg-laying” hens have been selectively bred to produce 300 or more eggs a year (naturally, it would be around 12). This takes a huge toll on their bodies, and they often suffer from health issues like osteoporosis and broken bones due to calcium deficiency.
OGGS’ all-vegan range also features Lemon Loaf Cake, Mini Vanilla Cupcakes, Mega Caramel Cupcakes, and more. The brand also sells baking ingredients, including aquafaba and other egg replacement products.
