Rolled foods

If you missed my last post, go check it out, and enter for a chance to win an adorable wee plush monster of your very own.

Okay, now that I’m done whoring myself out, on to the food! I baked some Asian marinated tofu (leftover from grilling), and put it in sushi along with avocado, green onions, carrots and black sesame seeds. Possibly the best sushi I’ve ever made:


And of course, gotta have something sweet… like cinnamon rolls! These were pretty much amazing. I let The Brit talk me into using all white flour (which NEVER happens in my house) and I made them extra-large (that’s a 12″ pan they’re in, so they’re 4″ each!). I put raisins in the filling, which I’ve never tried before, and it was so good.

Check out the giant deliciousness:


That’s it for now!

Cake, cookies and SUSHI!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008
Saturday I made another wedding cake, and I got to use my new cupcake stand for the first time! It was 80 jumbo cupcakes – 40 chocolate with mocha icing and 40 chai with maple icing – and two top tiers that were white almond with rosewater icing covered in vanilla fondant. All assembled the cake was about three feet tall!


I finally made another recipe for Kelly and Garrick’s Vegan Cookie Book – Chewy Banana Cookies!


I made a triple batch because I had some bananas that had to be used pretty much that day. I also made them a little bigger than called for, because I had so many to make.



I’m glad I did that, because I made ice cream sandwiches with the extras, and they are awesome. I will post a picture of those later.

To prove I don’t exist solely on cupcakes and cookies, here are some pictures of my first ever sushi! I made a ton of nori-maki. This was my first roll ever:


I made three kinds. Spicy tempeh rolls with green onions and avocado (the recipe is in V’con), curried butternut squash rolls with apples (my own creation!) and simple avocado and cucumber rolls. Notice I even made the butternut squash rolls inside-out!


I ran out of nori sheets but still had a little bit of rice and fillings left, so I made some nigiri sushi.


I will be making more sushi soon for sure – it was so much easier than I thought it would be!
