Carrot Cake

 
Of course I start the thing then realise I'm missing some ingredients. No sultanas so I substituted for half chopped nuts, half cinnamon cranberries. Had no ginger so added some nutmeg and mixed spice and a pinch of luck ;) Think this might be my favourite so far.

Houmous / Hummus

Simple to make. Never buying shop bought houmous again, had no idea it was so easy to make. Followed the recipe but added an extra clove of garlic.

Boozy Christmas Cake


Made these a few weeks ago. Simple recipe, almost too simple. Hmmm might have to eat some just to check it's OK ;) Feeding them with alcohol every few weeks before they get iced.

Vegan Birthday Cake for My Mate Hazel

I used the Victoria Sponge recipe for my cake. First attempt at decorating, so happy enough. Covered cake in buttercream before covering with fondant (You can buy ready made or make your own). I used little icing pens I found in Poundland, anything for an easy life.

Chocolate Cupcakes


I added chocolate chips to mine, which settled near the bottom in a chocolately gooey mess, possibly improving the recipe. Fondant topping has lemon flavouring, just to confuse folk.

Victoria Sponge



I've never had Victoria sponge before so have no way of knowing if it was a success or not. It was firm, springy and syrupy. You could have taken it to the bath, had a wash with it, then had it with a cup of tea. I liked it! The recipe quantities make a hearty big cake.
