I'll admit that I had time to come up with a recipe and make something delectable for you to read about today, but I chose not to. Two reasons: As I'm typing this, I'm finishing up the last of the blackberry frozen yogurt (bypassing some leftover banana ice cream in the freezer), and gave away about half of my Mayan chocolate almonds. What I'm trying to say is that I have too many desserts just laying around for me to make yet another one.The second reason is that I wanted to show off what I've done today, and what will be sold at the farmers' market tomorrow afternoon.
This is a vanilla cupcake with strawberry frosting. I used real strawberries (of course!) to make a syrup, then added that to my frosting to give it a cute pink color and a very faint strawberry taste.
This is my chocolate duo!
This one has the strawberry frosting on top.
For these, I had some fresh raspberries left over from a special order, so I dropped one into the center of each batter-filled cupcake liner and baked it in, then sifted powdered sugar on top. I almost tried to mess one up so I could eat one!
This is a strawberry orange cream tart. Very impromptu kitchen experiment, so I'm not sure how it will go over, but this crust is to die for!
And this is my best seller, the chocolate coconut tart. Only five ingredients in the whole thing, yet so, so, so good!
And these are my special order donuts! I have one or two loyal customers who special order these every week :) They're a pain in the butt to make, but are totally worth the effort.
All products are 100% vegan and natural! Wish me luck for tomorrow, and hope to see some of you out there!
This is all that was left after the brunch potluck I made these for...and this one got snatched up at my house soon after! I got this recipe from Vegetarian Times. It's a pretty good one, although I have some adjustments in method. If you want to add sprinkles to yours like I did, i found that one bottle of sprinkles did the trick. These ones are peppermint flavored, which was a nice little surprise (I didn't even know they were flavored until I tried a mess-up one!).
The link to the recipe is here. I doubled the recipe and still only got two dozen doughnuts out of it, instead of three dozen. But maybe I made mine too big? Not sure. Also, I doubled the glaze recipe too, but there was no need. I had LOTS of left-over glaze, and I laid it on pretty thick. I also didn't heat the glaze before-hand, just mixed it in a bowl and added a Tablespoon of extra soy milk to make it thinner, which worked out fine. I would suggest that you let the doughnuts cool completely before you glaze them, as they firm up considerably after cooling, making it easier for them to hold together when you dunk in the glaze.
Hope you enjoy these! They were quite a treat.
