Vegan Spiderman Cake

The cake recipe was the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake from the AWESOME Vegan Bake Sale.
I made this in two tins and sandwiched together with buttercream, vegan of course.
The top was covered in blue buttercream and the Spiderman face was made with ready to roll fondant and a black edible colouring pen.
The birthday boy was delighted.

Oh oh oh it's magic!

I have made it my end of year resolution to make all my friends birthday cakes from now on.

The first one up was my friend Wayne Blane a.k.a Mr Magic man. He's one of my bestest bestest friends and he's a super awesome magician to boot. The theme for his cake was pretty easy.

Alakazam!

This was two layers of the Jelly Doughnut Cupcake recipe from Veganomicon. Slathered in the middle was Raspberry Jam and then topped with rolled icing. The cards were made with the same rolled icing and then decorated using food colouring and a very steady hand. Wayne LOVED it (he had three slices!) and I have to say I was pretty impressed too. I'm really looking forward to making all my friends cakes - I have some super awesome ideas already!

Vegan MoFo Day#10: Have your cake and eat it

My mum and I went to York for the day and whilst there we stopped off at Goji Vegetarian Cafe.

I was so so happy when I asked the girl behind the counter if there was any vegan cake and she replied "Yes we have two, Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cake."

Get in there!

I almost pee'd my pants.

Before you think I've taken complete leave of my senses let me explain that this is my very first time I have bought vegan cake because it is the very first opportunity I've had to buy vegan cake. Sad huh!

But happy too because look what I got.

The chocolate cake could have done with a shed load more chocolate - it just tasted of banana really, but the carrot cake was freaking AMAZING!

And my awesome mum even ordered vegan food for her too. She had vegetable samosas and spicey potato cakes which were both super delicious and scarfed down before the camera was thought of. I've got my priorities right at least.
