Happy Easter

Well it has been a while since I last posted but I have been busy so I am sure you can forgive me.  Since my last post I have now officially become vegan.  Its something I had been thinking about for such a long time and I have finally taken the leap.  As I can tolerate some wheat now, being a vegan has been made that bit easier, however I do still only bake with gluten free and vegan ingredients.
Now onto my easter baking challenge.  Hubby said to me "can you make a simnel cake for easter.........pleeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeee!!!!!"  How could I refuse?  Now for the tricky bit, making it vegan AND gluten free.  I used the fruit cake recipe in my cake angels book and made a few tweeks, like swapping honey for agave syrup etc to make it vegan too.  Here are the results, and although we haven't tried it yet (leaving that pleasure for easter Sunday) it looks and smells amazing.

I also had a recipe emailed to me for gluten free and vegan easter biscuits, which were also yummy too but as the ganets in the family devoured them before I could take a picture you will have to wait until I make another batch for that recipe.

Happy Easter everyone !!!!
