Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
I recently read a graphic novel called Bake Sale by Sara Varon. I saw this book on the sale rack at my university book store and I had to buy it! This book was so cute and some really nice themes in it about friendship and perseverance. It also included some recipes that are made in the story. One thing the main character of the book does everyday in their bakery is try out new recipes so I was inspired to try something new out as well! A few weeks ago I picked up a can of coconut cream from the store with the intention of making something with it.…

Earl Grey Tea Cupcakes (vegan)
A few years ago I went to New York and while I was there I had to go to the Baby Cakes bakery. I had bought their recipe book a while before even thinking about going to New York city and knew that I had to go! So I journeyed through the other side of China Town to find the small bakery. The treats I had were good and the company I had that day even better!
