http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetFritsy

I highly recommend Sweet Fritsy. Her shop is unfortunately not open at the moment- reopens on the 11th- but she is always selling lots of cookies, candies, fudge, donuts, muffins, cupcakes, etc. I've ordered truffles from her and they were delicious.

If you take a look at her "sold items" you can see what she typically has in stock: http://www.etsy.com/shop_sold.php?user_id=7143500

How are her prices? Her stuff looks fantastic!

i'm not sure how much i'd trust etsy... i've come across a lot of "vegan" sellers who don't really understand what vegan means, so i'd make sure to find a seller you really trust.

but i can def. say these are awesome: http://www.allisonsgourmet.com/ but unfortunately somewhat expensive.

what annoys me most about the german version of etsy is that when you search for 'vegan' you get 30 pages of goat and honey soap. (and stuff from wool)

:(

Wow... somewhat expensive is an understatement. But even the pictures make my mouth water.

You're right about some vegan sellers. I bought some vegan lip balm a few years ago and the first ingredient was beeswax. I was PISSED!!

I've never ordered food on etsy before, but I've had great experiences with ordering other vegan merchandise there (a shirt with a broken cage and a free bird that says "vegan for life" is my favorite piece!). Here's a wonderful resource: http://veganetsy.blogspot.com/search/label/member%20directory

Thank you! I haven't had much luck just searching "vegan" on etsy.

Oh my gosh yes!
I agree with the above, though - make sure the seller truly understands veganism. Most people are really friendly and helpful if you just shoot them a question.

I've bought a few vegan products from Etsy - my favorite being a roll-on patchouli perfume. Wonderful!

PS - You're not being lazy at all, but it'd be really fun to make your own stuff. I've been wanting to start making vegan soap myself.

I've ordered seitan from vegan foodsellers before. I'm way too lazy to make it myself (and the times I've tried to make it from a boxed mix haven't turned out too well) and spice it appropriately. Usually I get vegan 'hot wings' from this one seller and they were amaaaaaazing! So good! Last time I looked I couldn't find that seller, but I ordered some from http://www.etsy.com/shop/Medusafoods and they looked delicious, so we'll see. Her site isn't up right now since she has been sick, though.
