I once got an award at a work Christmas party for something along the lines of "why say something in three words when thirty will do", and while I can be prone to talking about pretty much anything to anyone, I think I managed to use up almost all my words the other day over on that Vegan Butter post. So I'll keep this short, sweet and seriously image heavy... Popsicles are infinitely easier to photograph in winter, especially when the temperature of your living room is hovering … [Read more...]
Inspired by Ombre: 17 Gorgeous Ombre Desserts
Have you heard? The Sweet Adventures Blog Hop is back! I'm hosting this month and in the process of coming up with a theme I've been completely inspired by everything Ombre. I used to associate Ombre solely with towering layer cakes -- both cake and icing -- and reasonably artificial colour... And while that covers off a fair portion of what's out there it certainly isn't everything. As a bit of inspiration for SABH (and to feed my new Ombre obsession) I've created a collection of 17 … [Read more...]
Vegan Key Lime Pie (Nut-Free, Paleo & Raw too)
Hello there. In a fit of late-night brain-freeze I'm vignetting this, barely editing, and going to bed. Better buckle up. ------ On tenuous links... I'm hosting Sweet Adventures Blog Hop this month and with the hop starting on 17 March I simply had to make the theme St. Paddy's Day related. However, other than the festive green colour of this pie, any relation to the holiday, country of origin, or leprechauns at the end of rainbows are tenuous at best (and quite possibly … [Read more...]
SABH March 2014: Luck o’the Irish – Plus 11 St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Ideas
I have a soft spot for St Patrick's Day -- it did after all serve as the backdrop for meeting RJ twelve years ago and pretty instantly changed any hazy plans I had for the future -- so when it came to picking a theme for this month's Sweet Adventures Blog Hop a celebration of all things green/rainbow/gold/potato/whiskey/stout/oatmeal was an obvious choice. Anything's game so long as it's Irish or inspired by St Patrick's Day festivities and the details about the hop are below -- but to … [Read more...]
Vegan Lemon Custard Cheesecake Bars {GF VG DF SF}
We weren't a family that had sweets on-hand very often. Cereal couldn't have sugar as either of the first two ingredients listed; cookies and ice cream did not make regular appearances; dessert after dinner wasn't really a feature. But when there were sweets, we went all out -- perhaps that's why desserts from my childhood are captured so vividly in my memory. The usual suspects of Pumpkin Pie and cookies through the holiday season. Piping hot triangle-shaped doughnuts on Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Rainbow Whole-Fruit Popsicles (Ice Pops)
Sitting on the concrete floor of my mother's friend's flowershop I sorted and searched through the little plastic pieces for the right colour. Pop, pop, pop the little pegs broke through black paper, twinkling as they released the light. I followed the Lite Brite patterns until I used them all up and started making up my own designs -- swirls and zig-zags and 5-year-old interpretations of trees -- from the little points of colour. And then a question, asked casually and without … [Read more...]
Salted Caramel Truffles – Raw, vegan and impossibly good.
I had no idea when I chose 'Heavenly Holiday Truffles' as the theme of the December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop that I would become obsessed with turning EVERY FLAVOUR EVER into a truffle. Seriously. A google-machine search on 'truffle' renders the expected chocolate versions, but the same search on Pinterest reveals the most stunning variations you could ever imagine and sends the imagination into overdrive. No doubt the purists will shout and stamp their feet, insisting that … [Read more...]
