Oh hello plant-based baking Sunday 🥰🥰

Here is my little addition to @sundayafternoonbakingclub - a fully fledged vegan Birthday cake I made for my friend’s daughter who has just turned 2. It was my first time making a vegan cake so was beyond proud of this. Colour, colour, colour 🍭🎨

Everyday is a learning day and I definitely learnt a lot making this. Cake wait to get stuck into another baking project. 😉

I used @tescofood vegan Victoria sponge recipe - uses Golden syrup so stays moist for days 🙌💕

Coated all over with @bakingtimeclub sprinkles.

Happy Sunday x

Looking for Christmas baking ideas?

I’ve seen lots of wreath cakes on Instagram recently so thought I’d have a go. Such fun making these. Vanilla cupcakes. Vanilla buttercream with coconut ‘snow.’ Then topped with the wreath design with festive sprinkles. A Christmas 🎄 winner.

Love themed bakes and there will be many more over the next few months.

Ever baked a fireworks themed cake?
I was trying out vegan cake recipes and had an extra batch and taking advantage of this very happy coincidence made a starry ⭐️ night inspired cake for bonfire night. These drink toppers made excellent improvised fireworks on top of the cake 🤣🎉🎆🎇

I used vegan and GF sprinkles from @bakingtimeclub - really great. So colourful!

Cupcakes YES or NO? It’s Birthday week in our house this week so this was my contribution for my brothers and sister’s exciting celebrations 🙌💕💜😍

I am always drawn to bright colours and these are bright, bright, bright. 🥳

A simple vanilla sponge, filled with strawberry 🍓 jam and topped with vanilla buttercream.

Love this technique for decorating cupcakes - dip vanilla buttercream in sprinkles and then top with a swirl of pink icing - two different nozzles doing all the work for you. So proud of these guys 🥰🥰🥰

LOVE playful Halloween bakes. 🎃 Dibbed into the spooky archives again for this one but still love it as much as ever.

Violent green matcha sponge and rich chocolate buttercream and all sorts of cheeky sprinkles make up some cute monster cupcakes.

Creeping into the spooky 🎃 archives for this one. Halloween 👻 sparkle splatter cookies. Think Jackson Pollock meets ghoulish gatherings.

These are fun little cookies to make - rich chocolate cookies, royal icing and manic splats of Halloween colours.

Brilliant to make, a bit of a witch to clean 🤪😉😂
