Clara Polito is one of dozens of vendors selling their goods at the fest this year. But her story is unique. Polito became a vegan when she was just a tween. Seeing a void in the vegan dessert market, she started baking. Now, at the ripe old age of 19, she sells her vegan "inception" cookies, Elvis cake and cannoli around town and online as Clara Cakes.
