It’s pretty, but don’t be fooled: this pastry braid is super easy to prepare. It ends up looking like a lot more work than it actually is (those are the best sort of ( Read more... )

Mike and I ate it with ice cream (duh) and a totally excessive drizzle of caramel sauce, swooning with every bite. You’re going to LOVE it.

I was heading to a gathering of Charlotte Food Bloggers this week and wanted to make something everyone could enjoy, so I decided to bake a vegan cake. I've baked vegan goods in the past that have suffered for their veganization, but this one sure didn't. It was fantastic ( Read more... )
