We ended up having a double birthday party, one for each of my sons, so of course they each needed their own cake. My big guy got the surfer about to meet his demise and my little guy got the great white just cruising around. Making the sharks and air brushing them was so cool. I really like how all the shells and fish turned out and the wonky design of my little guys cake adds just a little whimsy. It looks like they were a hit. The cake is vegan. it's a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. YUM!

Tofu Cheese Cake with raspberry sauce

This is a super yummy, decadent and easy cheese cake to make. Best of all it is much lower in fat than a traditional cheese cake but still plenty rich. I will be demonstrating this at the Natural Living Expo in Sturbridge, MA on Sept. 30. I'll post the recipe after the event, for now the picture is just a teaser.

Corn dogs

I was at Target recently and I saw this mini corn dog maker. It was on sale so I thought I'd try it out. i didn't realize it was so small but it is the perfect size for little fingers or appetizers. After some modifications on the recipe it came with this it what we ended up with. A great snack that is fairly healthy.

Shark Cake is coming soon

My little guy is three today. He told me he wants a shark cake for his birthday. We won't be having his party until next week but stay tuned for pictures of the cake. So many ideas! Yesterday we made some sharks, coral, sea shells and fish to decorate it with, now to let those dry and then to paint with edible colors. It should be a really cool cake. Watching Shark week on Discovery channel gave me all kinds of ideas.
