(I Can't Believe It's) Vegan Baking; An Art Museum's Apiary

When Natalia Lima went vegan eight years ago, she assumed she was destined for a lifetime of dull desserts. But soon, the St. Petersburg baker learned to whip up her favorite confections—minus the animal products. She now sells them at her Curious Cat Bakery. Natalia is even veganizing recipes featured on The Great British Baking Show and posting the delicious results on Instagram. Her version of one contestant’s lemon cake has all of the flavor with none of the dairy. Plus -- The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg often gets attention for the masterpieces in its exhibition halls. Now, the MFA is making a buzz for what’s on its roof: beehives.The museum is an example of the urban beekeeping trend, enlisting Noble Nectar Apiaries to install and care for 20,000 to 30,000 bees on its rooftop. The MFA plans to sell the honey in its gift shop and use it as an ingredient at the museum café.
