I don't think there has been enough cake on this blog

THIS WAS MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!


It took a couple of days to make. I was inspired by 'gay cake' images on the internet. 
The rainbow cakes not the more umm interesting gay cakes. Be careful if you google images if you are sensitive as there are lots of rainbow ones but also some more graphic ones.

I used wilton colours which all worked well apart from the violet that came out a little grey but maybe with more practise I would get the colour better.

Treats for Children

Putting the clocks forward has messed up my daily routine a bit (well as much of a routine as a student can have when they have absolutely no lectures). I was waking up, without an alarm, quite early in the morning and getting things done but not anymore. I had run out of soya milk as well so after some snacks I took myself off to Sainsburys.

I always get distracted by all the food. I try to stick to a list but something new always slips in. Luckily I only really spend money on rent and food at the moment as I have lots of studying to do and less time for partying. It also helps that the boyfriend has no money at the moment so no little trips off to the pub.

So I found these in the free from section and got excited! Small packets of chocolate cookies. Similar to non vegan brands. I don't know if they taste at all similar though. I thought these tasted a little bit like chocolate cereal.

They would be great to give a gluten free, nut free, soy free, wheat free, egg free, yeast free or vegan child a treat at school. As a life long vegan I know what it was like to miss out on treats when it was someone's birthday or a member of staff was leaving. It is not the end of the world not to have something but it is nice to be included. They are not an every day treat though because of the price £2.99.
