Naked Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting (Vegan+GF)
Blogging this past year has made me realize a lot of things about myself that I never knew. One of which is the fact that I might be obsessed with cake. I wouldn’t have thought so but recently I’ve just wanted to bake cakes. So you know how I was talking about fads the other day? Yeah, well, the “naked” cake look is another one of those that is really in right now and I’ve been on the fence about how I feel about it. For a while I thought I’d never do a cake like that because cake decorating is basically in my blood. Both my mother and my grandmother have been…

Swirly Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll Cookies (Vegan)
Is there anything better than a big doughy cinnamon roll? It’s hard to say, but at the moment I’m failing to think of anything. The problem with cinnamon rolls is that they require a bit of planning ahead and sometimes you just haven’t done that when a craving hits. Like those moments when you just have to have a cinnamon roll immediately or you may die. Does that happen to you too? Well, you see, that’s what I’m here for, to solve these urgent problems in life. Does that mean that I plan to save the world one cookie at a time? Maybe it does. Don’t judge. It’s a perfectly good plan, even if…

Chai Latte Doughnut with Vanilla Bean Icing (Vegan)
It’s finally Friday again, Yes! I hope you are in the mood for some doughnuts (or is it donuts? what’s the difference?)! Ha! I say that like it’s possible to not be in the mood for a doughnut. What a ridiculous notion. The weather has been pretty cool and rainy recently and I’ve been on a tea kick. Chai tea. The entire first year we have lived here in Chile I was never able to find chai at the stores (sad face). I know it can be made at home but I’m the only one in my family who likes to drink it and I hate making things specifically for me so I’ve…

Perfect Crinkle Snickerdoodle Cookies (Vegan)
I can’t really imagine what the holidays would be like without baking at least one batch of cookies. There are so many possibilities too. I mean, you’ve got the classic, and basically synonymous with Christmas, gingerbread men. Then there are your basic sugar cookies or shortbread. In my family chocolate chip cookies usually make their way into every holiday treat line-up. Oh, and we almost always make these little snowball cookies that I think everyone is familiar with. With all the variety, it’s not surprising that there are some cookies that aren’t as commonly made in some homes and for us that was always snickerdoodles. In fact, I hardly remember my family ever making…

The BEST Vegan Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Cinnamon & Sugar
Don’t you love it when the whole house smells like pumpkin spice donuts? Wait, vegan pumpkin spice donuts? Even better! Those are the best days in my opinion. I absolutely love Fall and all that comes with it. Especially the holidays! This post is all about vegan pumpkin spice doughnuts It’s September! Fall Baking Starts Now! It seems like I wait all year long for the holiday season. Every year when I was little I would start to get so excited right around September. You know, the kind of childish excitement that has you convinced that you really may at least pass or otherwise just fall over and die of it. I love…
