Baking is a craft!
jmrz:
Okay, so I did some baking today! Cupcakes were a vanilla cupcake recipe from some baking blog and then the jam idea I got from Lunchy's cupcakes. They are utterly delicious. The cookies didn't turn out like they were supposed to but Mum said they are still delicious anyway, so I guess they weren't a complete fail. The cookie recipe came from here.

Holy cow that's a lot of baked goods.
StreetSpirit:
So, uhh, I had enough of looking at the tasty baked good and decided to do some funky innovations from the raw ingredients for mah self (and three friends who joined me for a silly brunch). I hadn't much left in my pantry or fridge, but I still managed to pull off some cinnamon-raisin scones using good ole orange juice as one of the key liquids. I hope these pictures pop up perfectly, because I am not the best with a camera and even a little worse at uploading/linking images. It is a learning process!
I decided that coffee wasn't enough to get the brunch a go go going so we also enjoyed some tea and water to maximize morning liquid consumption, here are the aftereffects of a ridiculous Friday morning brunch.
Gawd. I love this baking thread for some reason. Butter?
idiosyncratic:
Today I had kind of a shitty day, so I decided to bake a chocolate cake. The problem with this idea is that I had very limited ingredients (meaning only two eggs in the house when a lot of recipes call for more than that), but I powered through it and made an amazing chocolate cake (if I do say so myself) with Spike Blackberry Coulis to go with it.
Onward to the pictures! (All are thumbnails so they are clickable)

It looks like blood! Very tasty blood.

When I was straining the coulis, I smacked the strainer over the garbage disposal to get rid of the seeds. When I was finished I looked in the sink and decided that it was a photo opportunity that I shouldn't miss.

Margarine is typically vegan, as it is usually vegetable oil. It is sometimes mixed with skim milk, however.
