Not frosted — yet! — cinnamon rolls.
And maple cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. The nut chunks on top are so coated with maple syrup, it has a nice crystalization effect going on and I’m sure a bite of crunchy yet melt-in-your-mouth sugar will be welcomed! You could always break them more apart.
What a great party this will be, with something raw or cooked for everyone, omni or vegan. 
Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World
Chai Latte Cake with Buttercream Frosting
Cookies ‘n Cream
This one isn’t as pretty as I had hoped….but it’s the Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, also with caramelized walnuts added in the frosting and on top.
Chocolate Cake from the Post Punk Kitchen Recipe Section (“Rich Chocolate Cake”), with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.
Raspberry Chocolate Cupcakes, adapted from the Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World recipe.
And last, but not least, from Chocolate Peanut Butter Bombs from the same book, this time with ganache hearts! (All shown in carrying cases for traveling tomorrow…..er, today, since it’s 2 a.m.)
First post regarding this recipe: http://utopiankitchen.wordpress.com/2007/03/12/coriander-honey-tofu-w-bok-choy-joy-tester/
You can imagine that I am delighted to have someone to cook regularly for lately! This healthy and delicious meal is packaged and ready to go.
For this go-around, I served the tofu, pears, and sweet agave sauce with toasted quinoa w/ garlic and kale. It’s a great recipe and I really can’t wait for Joy’s cookbook to come out. Her blog is here http://veganjoy.blogspot.com/. I am not a tester anymore due to becoming a raw foodist, but I really want to make her new seitan with apples recipe: http://vegandinners.blogspot.com/2008/06/seitan-roast-with-apples.html
I hope to get a better picture later, but this is a chocolate cookie crust pie topped with caramel sauce, chopped nuts, vanilla ice cream, more caramel and nuts, chocolate ice cream, caramel and nuts, vanilla ice cream, caramel and nuts, and then a chocolate ganache – type topping. It started melting so fast that I couldn’t cut it up efficiently; I think I need to let it sit overnight.
And bonus summer rolls with mango, lettuce, tofu, mung bean threads, and peanut sauce.
Vive Le Vegan!
Dreena’s chocolate chip cookies are a favorite for me, as they are sweetened partially with maple syrup in addition to cane sugar. They smell wonderful and always turn out great!
Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen (for potatoes)
The potatoes are the Greek lemon & oregano, also with garlic. The tofu is based on the mini crustless quiche recipe from Fat Free Vegan, with broccoli, Monterey Jack Vegan Gourmet, onions, baked and then scrambled, with basil added.
I found this recipe online and am not sure if I can/will recommend it yet….the batter was so thick that I was worried the cake wouldn’t turn out at all. I feel a little bit better about it now, but we’ll see after the celebration of a friend’s birthday tonight! I did modify the recipe slightly, using all ground maple sugar instead of any other refined sugars. However, as you can see, there is quite a bit of frosting, sweetened not only with maple syrup but also with some powdered sugar (organic and fair-trade!).
I do NOT mess around when making candy- or sugar-coated nuts. These are coated with not only maple syrup but also maple sugar. It’s like pouring a gallon of the syrup down your throat, only more sophisticated and with extra protein and minerals. There are candy-coated ground and whole cashews in the middle layer as well.
My Sweet Vegan
I made these based off of the My Sweet Vegan recipe for strawberry spirals. I wouldn’t suggest making this dessert if you’re in a hurry; the dough must chill twice, for a preparation of approximately 6 hours. I REALLY enjoyed the spirals of cherry and the not-too-sweet cookie. Unlike the turtles below, I think you can indulge in a few cherry cookies without feeling ill. You might notice that some cookies have more cherry filling than others; the ones with extra filling are just as tasty, but they are not as feasible to pick up and eat.
