Sooo, what have I been doing over Labor Day weekend? Laboring of course! If you consider baking laboring, that is. Wellllll, I painted too.
My friend came from Boston this weekend for a wedding, and we have this tradition of making oatmeal raisin cookies together, so I brought my ingredients over to her house and we had a blast! (She had already changed out of her clothes by the time we got to her house)
This was the weirdest thing ever! You see the little black curly things? Well, the parchment paper actually burnt off! It was really weird! Oh well. The cookies were good, and that's all that matters.
For fun, I decided to make yeast doughnuts! There are always Krispy Kremes at Sunday School, so I wanted to make my own vegan renditions.
These are my rendition of a Krispy Kreme. Plain ol' vanilla glazed. PURE SUGAR!! and fat, too. yummmm.
Maple donuts!!! These were my personal favorite. I've loved maple donuts all my life, but I didn't know that they were maple until I made the glaze for these! I opened the bottle of maple extract and thought, "This smells familiar!" And so through my scental de ja vu, I rediscovered my old friend. :)
Here they are together. So happy together..... (they can't see each other lovin' nobody but... ok. nevermind)
Happy Heart Donuts! These I coated with a cinnamon-sugar mixture. These were my mom's favorite because they weren't too sweet.
My brother had a "singles" party this past weekend (lol) so I made them a [vegan] wedding cake so that they wouldn't go through life not even having ONE wedding cake to call their own. I know, I'm so thoughtful :) haha
Can you see why I've gained several inches all around in this past weekend? haha
Soooo I decided last minute to join everyone else in Vegan Month of Food. Yes, I am a procrastinator. But hey, better late than never, no?
Am I forgiven?
