Gouri Kubair, MD of Holy Lama Spice Drops said: “We never expected such incredible edible creations to be submitted! All 15 entrants excelled themselves and demonstrated how delicious vegan baking can be; we were overwhelmed by the quality of their entries. It’s nearly impossible to choose a winner in my view, which is why we have passed the job over to our faithful followers who use Spice Drops in their daily cooking and know what can be achieved. Good luck to our six finalists – you are all worthy winners.”

Creating an original dessert from a selection of top ingredients was exciting, including Holy Lama Spice Drops. Just a little extract went a long way and gave an amazingly natural, delightful flavour! I will be using Spice Drops in every bake now!”
