Creamy, fresh and a little bit fruity (the cakes) 😁 very healthy vegan no-bake cheesecakes posted for the no-bake cheesecake party hosted by @homemadeloversss suggested by @daimokuranh Thank you! 💕😘 For the video recipe google 'so yummy vegan galaxy cheesecakes'. Think these should have a more intense fruit flavour. Probably need a fruit jam layer on top. Anyone know of any good vegan cheesecake recipes? Did discover that blueberries and edible wafer flowers make photos prettier but the flowers are not that great to eat.. 😂 - - - #homemade #blueberry #raspberry #blackcurrant #vegan #nobake #cheesecakes #soyummyrecipe #hlfunbake75 #homemadelovers #hlfunbake #hlcheesecake #healthyeating #vegancheesecakes #cashewcream #maplesyrup #refinedsugarfree #glutenfree #almonds #coconutoil #foodpics #foodphotography #healthyfoodies #eat #healthycheesecakes (very light, just had 4) #foodstagram #instafood #instacakes #cakestagram #yumyum 😋💕

The apples of my eye. Apple experiments continue... Now looking more like golden delicious. 😁🍏Happy with lots of apple jelly (little cubes of reinette apples) in the middle and less caramel mousse. Lighter and fresher. Need a more opaque glaze.. Getting there. 😋👍 - - - #homemade #applecakes #applejelly (a bit dark because of the #unrefinedgoldencastersugar ) #caramelmousse (recipe for mousse on the blog, link in bio. look in basics section, mousses) #pâtisserie #patisserie #cakes #sablebreton #neutralglaze (recipe also on the blog) #eat #cakes #foodpic #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #cakestagram #instacake #ilovecakes #yumyum 🍏😋💚

Soft yummy pillows, aka homemade marshmallows.😋☁️☁️ Did not know marshmallows could be so good! Egg free recipe from the Bake Off Creme de la Creme baking book. Just gelatine, glucose and a syrup at 116 degrees celsius made from unrefined golden caster sugar and passion fruit purée (subtle yummy flavour). Like making Italian meringue. Dusted with cornflour/icing sugar. Will try the raspberry ones next before posting the recipe... 😉 - - - #homemade #marshmallows #fluffymarshmallows #passionfruit #gelatine #glucose #unrefinedcastersugar #nubes #nubescaseras #guimauvesmaison #eggfreemarshmallows #eat #candies #sweets #edibleclouds #sweettreats #foodpic #foodphotography #foodies #instafood #foodstagram #sweetsurprise #yumyum 😋😁☁️💛

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)

A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)

Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!

Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!

Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants by Dookes. Very well-shaped and nicely risen too! ‘For a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test’ says Dookes.

Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.

A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.

A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.

A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’

A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
