    This Week in Gluttony

    Sunday supper and corn dog beatdown top best food events in Dallas this week

    This Week in Gluttony seems a little quiet, but we presume that’s because Dallasites are firing up the grills; icing down some beers; and dragging out some red, white and blue. For those who do not delight in such Fourth of July traditions, these events might satisfy.

    Las Almas Bakery pops up across Dallas with Mexican vegan pastries

    Las Almas Bakery iced sugar cookies

    Dallas has a new vegan bakery specializing in Mexican sweet treats: Called Las Almas Bakery, it’s a pop-up bakery offering conchas and other baked goods at events across Dallas-Fort Worth.

    Las Almas can be found every weekend, from Friday-Sunday, at markets and events such as The Sound at Cypress Waters, Red Bird Mall, and Misfits Market in Fort Worth.

    Las Almas is from Celeste “CeCe” Canales-Velasquez, a self-taught baker based in Plano who began baking in 2021 with a mission to make panaderia (sweet breads) in versions that would appeal to vegans, special diets, and people curious about plant-based foods. If a traditional recipe uses dairy, she substitutes plant-based milk. If the recipe calls for eggs, she replaces it with flax or chia seeds.

    Using social media and word of mouth, she began selling her pan dulce and other pastries for special occasions like weddings and parties.

    By March 2025, she made it official: launching as a vendor at markets where customers could reliably find her goods.

    Staple items include big brownies with chocolate chips, Concha (the classic sweet bread with a ribbed, shell-shaped exterior), and a five-inch chocolate chip cookie.

    She also offers custom iced sugar cookies, a vegan version of taiyaki (the Japanese fish-shaped pastry filled with chocolate or red bean paste), and French-inspired fruit tarts. Everything is $5 each.

    “We love when everyone can taste a bit of home, or discover a new favorite," she says. "Our goal is to honor the essence of each dessert while making it accessible, inclusive, and adding our own touches."

    She also contributes a percentage of her proceeds to nonprofits, and is a proud woman- and Chicana (Latinx/Hispanic) owned business.

    "Every treat we offer is a small act of hope for a more compassionate, connected, and sustainable world—one delicious bite at a time," she says.

    Las Almas’ upcoming pop-ups are on the following dates:

    • June 13, 5-10 pm: Moonlit Markets at The Sound at Cypress Waters, 3111 Olympus Blvd., Coppell
    • June 21, 12-6 pm: Dreaming of You Plus Size Market, 1400 Dugan St., Arlington
    • June 29, 11 am-5 pm: Hemlock Haus Misfits Market, 8309 TX-580 Spur, Fort Worth
    • July 5, 11 am-2 pm: KnotSweet Bestie Market, Four Corners Brewery, 1311 S. Ervay St., Dallas
