I am a lemon girl all the way, always have been - only chocolate gives lemon any hope of an equal fight, and it still depends on the day! So I was completely on board when we chose Lemon for our April Sweet Adventures Blog Hop. I wanted to make a cake - Angel Food Cake to be exact - and spike it with copious amounts of lemon. But Angel Food Cake has the same issue as Meringue and Pavlova - lots and lots of sugar. Damn. My mind started spinning as per usual - maybe I could edit it... … [Read more...]
When life gives you lemons…April SABH!
Did you know there are two kinds of people in this world? Yep, those that like lemon flavoured things and those that like cherry flavoured things. Now I'm not talking about the fresh version of these fruits, but stuff like jellies, drinks and hard candies. Just think about it for a moment - you know I'm right. With that in mind, we're at it again... and the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop theme for April is Lemons! Now even though I don't eat the sugary bits anymore I am without a doubt a … [Read more...]
Purple Carrot Cake and Sparkling Apple Jelly Trifle
Yep, it's time again for the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, and once again I'm back with something slightly outside the norm - shocker. The theme this month is 'Layer upon Layer' and I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream
You need to make this. I need to stop eating it. I'm addicted. It's that bad, or that good, whatever. But it really only has three ingredients I keep saying to myself, and all three are good for you. And there is no sugar. And there is no dairy. And there is no soy. And it tastes SO AMAZING and SO CHOCOLATY and SO VERY GOOD. When we chose Death by Chocolate for the January Sweet Adventures Blog Hop the first thing that went through my mind was 'oh no, the holidays just passed and all I … [Read more...]
