Weekend with Daunie! Ate at Laughing Planet (holiday burrito....mashed taters, peas, corn, brown rice, cranberry relish and vegan gravy!) Amazing!
Recorded my FIRST cooking show! of pie dance productions. Daunie (of iggys canine cakery) made christmas dog cupcakes. daun is pictured at left with her tasty creation.
the video is my cooking show! minus the bloopers which were awesome! It is a bit choppy at the end because the recorder was dying, but you get the gist of it!
Here is the recipe for the frosting (video got cut up. In the picture, daun is wearing her one piece frosting jumper.
IGGY'S CANINE CAKERY CAROB FROSTING:
1 block softened cream cheese, about 2 tbs. honey (local preferably), about 2 tbs. carob powder (organic preferably)
Beat them all up together, place in a piping bag with a fancy tip and push through onto tiny cooled cupcakes.

Noodle's piece of cake.  



Daunie inspired me to bake a cake for Noodles today...so I baked up a carob cake with a peanut butter filling, and a cream cheese-peanut butter-banana frost. The cake turned out great, very fluffy and light. I dog-ified the 'new carob cake' recipe from "The Cookbook for people who love animals". and i made up the frosting recipe. Noodle could barely contain himself when i sat it down, he didn't sit all nice and properly next to it, like iggy. but i did cut him a slice and he gobbled the whole slice in his mouth, i had to tear a large chunk off so he wouldn't choke on all that cake!!
