Birthday Cake

I was kind of proud of this effort. Red Velvet Cake, Butter Cream Frosting, and White Chocolate Butterflies with some edible glitter accents.

Um. Don't take this the wrong way, but I would totally fuck that cake.

Normally, I'm not really that much into baked goods, but those butterflies have got it goin' on.

Edit:

Was the cake Vegan as well?

That cake was delicious. I wish I had eaten more.

Holy CRAP that looks delicious!

yeah, it was the shit. no lie. i made an extra big one just so i could enjoy leftovers this week.

Tonight was a low-carb treat for a diabetic in my office.

Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

when you bake for diabetics, what do you use to sweeten your goodies, emkay?

It depends on the person. One lady in my office can only have Splenda, which I find pretty easy to use.

The other lady can have any kind of sweetener that is lo-cal.

Generally, I try to find low sugar fruits and/or juice to use. These muffins aren't supposed to be too sweet anyway, so it's a half cup of Splenda.

i've been using agave nectar - since it's fructose it won't neccessarily bother diabetics the way sugar/glucose will. i'm also philosophically opposed to the use of chemical sweeteners so that colours my options.

Agave nectar is a little hard to come by in these parts. Maybe I will have to make a special trip to get some in the next town over.

Lentil Soup

With 4 different types of peppers, bacon, onion, garlic, and some herbs.
