I finally got around to uploading the pictures of the wedding cake I made on Saturday. The lighting was terrible so the picture isn’t the best. The cake isn’t so much my style, but it’s what the bride and groom wanted, and that’s what it’s all about anyway.
Red Velvet cake (meh) with Italian Meringue Buttercream (the anti-vegan icing), black fondant ‘ribbon’ around the base of each tier and crimson scrolls on the sides.
Yesterday my friend Ahnah and I went to lunch at Pita Wraps here in Memphis. I had never been there before, but let me tell you they had the best falafel I’ve had this side of the Atlantic. Actually, it was the only falafel I’ve had this side of the Atlantic, but it was damn good.
The owner was so nice and as soon as he heard we were vegan he started the falafel for us. Also in the pita was hummus, garlic paste, some kind of red sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and cucumber. Ahnah got jalapenos too, but I wasn’t feeling spicy yesterday. The finished product was HUGE, I had skipped breakfast and I was still only able to eat half of it.
Of course, like an idiot, I forgot my camera. No worries though, I will be back to take some pictures! After lunch we headed over to Wild Oats (it’s right by the wrap place) to do a little shopping. I bought two vegan cookies, but I didn’t get pictures of those either before they were gone… sorry!
I was excited to find a whole wheat baguette at Wild Oats, and this morning I got up early to make ‘Fronch Toast’ – a version of French Toast from Vegan with a Vengeance.
I also cooked some Smart Bacon. I was going to make my own tempeh bacon using Bianca’s recipe but I was too lazy forgot to start it last night.
It was definitely a delicious way to start my day.
