For the past seven years Dawn Konofaos has defied the norms of veganism by experimenting with bold ingredients to create unique recipes that push culinary boundaries. Her knack for combining distinctive flavors earned her fame at local indie food markets, but it was her penchant for blending artistic with whimsy in her baked treat designs that gained her repeat customers and ultimately notoriety on social media. Through the years, she’s worked to build a diverse cache of bakes that most never imagined could be vegan—like choux pastry. Dawn’s style, although worldly, has European leanings, and is impelled by her degree in Fashion Design and her previous career as a photo/content stylist. Her specialties are cakes and small bites, such as macarons and laminated doughnuts.
