The Republican Cupcake: Rich and Thick

The Republican
Aheheh...the name says it all. Rich + thick!
The actual cake turned out a little fluffier and lighter than we would have liked, but the the icing? Oh. Sweet. Zeus. Portwine coloured peanut butter whip drizzled with (vegan) semi-sweet dark chocolate.

Yeasty Goodness

Handmade Garlic 'Pull-Apart' Bread
Is there anything more fun than making fresh bread? It really is like regressing to child hood - sticky hands, kneading dough, and watching incredulously as something magically grows. This garlic pull-apart was super easy and was nommy when eaten warm in front of some escapist teevee.

'Allo Duckie!

Your friends will be green with envy (yes I know, ha...ha...ha...) when they catch you ripping apart one of these zany duck-egg cupcakes. Marzipan = love.

Rollin' with the Sushi

Not just healthy - hearty! Although it can be difficult to approximate the wonders of professionally made, store bought sushi, we think ours comes pretty damned close. The marinated, lightly fried tofu in the middle helps. So what should we call this - Tofushi?

Lemony Snacket

These Lemony Snacket cupcakes are a thing of beauty, and utter self-indulgence. The cake is a soft banana cloud, and the icing is a whipped-to-hell concoction of tofutti 'cream cheese', fresh lemon juice and other goodies...

Be warned: they're more-ish. You'll find yourself at the gym afterwards!
