I have found that baking relaxes me. I am still learning, but still am looking for awesome recipes or tips.
Share baking tips and recipes please. Oh and pictures also!

Cherry Almond Muffins from Alice-Bee (Nicci)
I don't bake as much as I used to, too much sugar.
I make the most awesome cinnamon rolls though, my grandmas recipe, I'll see if I can find it. Hers made mine look like crap though.
This site is my go to for baking tips and recipes. There is a chocolate cookie recipe made from cake mix that can be adapted. For Christmas, I add cranberries,nuts and chocolate chips. For Valentine's Day I added cherries and made a little thumbprint in the middle which was filled with a spoonful of cherry pie filling after the cookies cooled. It's one of the best chocolate cookie recipes I've tried. The pumpkin cookies are awesome as well. Oh, and the chocolate banana cake is to die for!

I need to try to take a halfway decent picture of the vegan muffins I have been baking lately. The most recent batch was made with whole wheat flour, zucchini, carrots, date, apricots, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and applesauce. No oil or added sugar. They're very tasty, relatively hearty and make for healthier mid-morning snacks.
The cupcakes I made boyfriend for his birthday:
Aery, those are awesome!
Thanks The guys at his work loved them, there were none left for me But apparently, they were raving about them and then boy was like "and by the way, they're vegan". Everyone was totally shocked. I'm changing opinions on vegan food, one cupcake at a time
Ha ha...love this!
Recipe?
I never get frosting right.
Annies Vegan Rosemary Garlic Bread Recipe
Today's experiment.
The cupcakes are the basic golden vanilla ones from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. The frostings were premade, because we couldn't find all the ingredients for my usual frosting where boyfriend lives
They look so much better than mine! Mine were wet inside...*waits for Envy or Spang to make a joke*
Haha..I did this too. I made vegan cakes, cookies and fudge. M shared them round at his work (all manly men...rar steak and beer types) and they loved them and demanded more fudge. Then he said they were Vegan...they were so shocked! But still demanded more
OMG! The bread turned out so good! I switched a few things. I only had unbleached white flower so I replace 1/3 cup with vital wheat gluten because I read the difference between reg flower and bread flower was bread has a higher gluten content.
MMMMMMM!
You always do so well with 'tweaking' recipes!
The Silver Spoon and Asda's own decorating icings (the ones in the tube with the different nozzles). Probably others, but those were the two in use.
Seriously....cool!
The double chocolate banana cake that I don't remember where I saw the recipe from.
These are some goodies that I made for a Christmas afternoon tea.
I made the following :
A mincemeat (homemade mincemeat) crumble cake (to die for) made with spelt flour served with Oatly cream. Oatmeal, raisin and pecan cookies, orange and chocolate truffles, MS's mini vanilla cheescakes.
Everything was vegan except for the cheesecakes.Two of my guests absolutely hated them and said that they were sickly and furthermore left them on the side of their plates.
