First birthday cake!

It's been a while since the last update, but I'd like to share a cute, vegan elephant birthday cake I made. It was fun to bake it! My first two tier cake and first animal made out of fondant. :)

Quick queso!

A fast and easy queso recipe! I wasn't a fan of Daiya until I prepared it like this! It's much faster to make than a cashew based cheese. I drizzled some over some homemade nachos. It's amazing! It's a small serving so double it up if you'd like!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of shredded Daiya cheese
1/8 cup milk(I use flax)
1 tblsp earth balance
1 tblsp salsa(optional)

Directions:

Bring ALL ingredients to a boil
Reduce to low and stir until thickened
Add a splash of salsa for flavor if desired

Travis- 2nd birthday celebration. Train theme!

We celebrated Trav's birthday today. We had a blast! We went to the zoo with Kiki, Dadoo and Amp. Then we had a picnic at the park and rode the FW Miniature Train. Trav loved his cake! I worked hard on it! We enjoyed eating it too :) We also said farewell to Amp. He's moving to California to pursue his skating career next week! 

The cake!
