Wednesday Round-up: Let Them Eat Cake!

Wednesday Round-up: Let Them Eat Cake!

Comments 4 comments

After swearing I heard two engineers at work discussing installing doughnuts in a wall, I realized that I have dessert on the brain. I’d just watched last week’s Top Chef Desserts, where they made doughnuts, so I must have still had them on the brain. So, I decided to see what sweet treats folks were baking up for Mofo.

I love pineapple in my carrot cake, and over at Alien’s Day Out, there is a lovely carrot pineapple cake with tofu cream.

Anchors and feathers cooks up a different, but still just as delicious looking carrot cake.

I’d also love to cozy up with a nice cup of tea and the Coffee Cake with Prunes over at Emmakant.

This Triple Apple Cider Bundt Cake at OMG Veg! looks absolutely heavenly.

These cake pops aren’t baked, but I love raw desserts, especially when they’re coated in chocolate. I certainly wouldn’t turn down a few of the cake pops at barefoot and frolicking!

With so many choices for great desserts, I’ll be distracted for a while before I start thinking about doughnuts again!

Monday Round-Up: Happy Vegan Thanksgiving, Canadians!

MoFos! I drive all of my American friends up the wall talking about Canadian Thanksgiving—one of my favourite holidays—but they’re just jealous that we don’t have to wait until November to get our Tofurky on. Since I’m currently embarking on an amazing and terrifying house-sitting gig in Victoria, BC, I’ll probably be having toast for dinner, so we can all be jealous of the following Canadian Thanksgiving dishes perfect for channelling your inner hoser.

While those of us out on the West Coast on getting reacquainted with our closest friend—the rain—lucky Nicole in sunny Southern Ontario is taking gorgeous outside shots of these birthday lemon tarts over at at A Dash of Compassion.

I’m a little out of sorts that my Thanksgiving weekend didn’t kick off with these perfect pumpkin waffles from you can’t eat the air!

Is there anything better than apple pie? Evidently, yes, there is apple pie CAKE.

Not only did Jennifer at It Ain’t Meat, Babe discuss vegan Thanksgiving celebrations with on Canada’s prestigious CBC radio, she also found the time to suggest we try her Sweet Potato Bread Pudding. I’ll take advice from anyone with Dylan-inspired blog name.

You’ve seen Bryanna Clark Grogan’s World Vegan Feast making its rounds around the MoFo-sphere, so clearly we knew BCG wouldn’t leave us hanging on Thanksgiving. Try her Mediterranean mashed potatoes, and don’t fret if you find yourself eating them straight out of the pot.

I’m patriotically practising my French by reading Vegan à Montréal, and we all know that Les Français are masters of the crêpe, but it looks as though the Québécois can also hold their own with a Swiss-style chickpea omelet.

Finally, MeShell, I am begging you to invite me to your Thanksgiving next year. Her spread includes cornbread muffins, onion gravy, smashed garlicky potatoes, grapefruit black pepper cranberry Sauce (fancypants!), stuffing in acorn squash, salads, pies, lentil loaves, and gosh, probably more. I’m met that girl. She’s a wizard. And her partner made a freaking pumpkin cheesecake!

Congrats on ten days of blogging, MoFos!
