From banker to baker: Vegan East Bakery

WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. - Have you ever been to a vegan restaurant? What about a vegan bakery?

Well, joining the roster of vegan establishments throughout the metro area is Vegan East, a first-of-its-kind vegan bakery in White Bear Lake.

Sheila Nelson went from reviewing mortgages at U.S. Bank a few months ago, to mixing batter and making cakes.

Now, the bakery is celebrating its two-month anniversary, offering a wide range of treats.

"We do cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes, quiche, biscuits on the weekend," Nelson said. "We just debuted the cheddar chive biscuits, and the bacon thyme biscuits."

KARE 11's Zach Lashway explains what motivated her to go vegan - and then to take the plunge of business ownership.
