Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mini cake doughnuts

    • LaurenB on February 17, 2017

      Knowing that there was no way these would taste like the original, we still gave it a go. They had a really strange flavor, were extreamly dry and the sugar didn't stick at all. Such a waste of time. Used the suggested flours (spelt, rye and barley) and measured with a scale so there really is no excuse.

  • Chocolate cupcakes

    • SugarFree_Vegan on August 24, 2013

      These are really lovely, I didn't use the snack cream just made the frosting with soya cream instead of dairy. On page 12 & 13 in my edition.

    Consider yourself warned. No one said giving up junk food was going to be easy. Replicating your favorite packaged snacks will take time and skill, but...may well be worth it...

      If Oreos had always been this good, I would have been a huge fan. These were definitely worthy of being twisted apart for licking the middle, and they were great for biting right through...
