![]() By the time my son went to school I had aced those vegan cupcakes! (Still working on my whole cake skills.) and I was sending cupcakes in to school with him for birthday parties that made the other kids jealous instead of him being "that vegan kid" who couldn't have any treats.Īs the years passed I learned how to make more items and friends were asking me to bake for them. I learned what the different ingredients do in the cakes and what ingredients work best for what result. ![]() ![]() My favorites were How it All Vegan and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I dug my heels in and started reading cookbooks. In fact, I remember purchasing non-vegan cakes (!?!?!) for my friends and making a small vegan cake for myself and my son just to avoid embarrassment of no one liking my cakes. I was the only one eating my cakes! But when my son was born in 2002 and we started having birthday parties, I felt the pressure of having to bake a vegan birthday cake that all of my non-vegan friends would love. I started baking immediately because of my major sweet tooth and what followed was LOTS and lots of failed, falling apart cakes! Honestly, I never really cared. Whilst I am baking dog treats, I am using fresh or cooked human-grade ingredients so figure it’s just baking - nothing special - I have no idea what I did wrong.Thank you so much for stopping by my little spot on the web! When making these homemade silicon mould treats, the raw mixture is supposed to be similar to a pancake mix consistency (maybe slightly thicker)… With the flax, the mixture was very granular/grainy and I couldn’t get it to smooth out. The ones I could get out of the moulds went back in the oven on a flat tray at 320F to try and get other edges cooked, but they all just burned on the outside – there was no in-between (either no firmness and far too soft or just burnt to a crisp) - and I watched them like a hawk! :/ When it came time to try and get them out, there was so much mixture stuck to the moulds (normally things just fall right out) and it was quite the job to get them out (most just fell apart because they were too soft). I lowered the temp to 320F and kept them in longer, but nothing was helping. Within minutes of going in the oven, they puffed up nicely and were even bouncing and lifting in the mould as if trying to get out… However, I could not for the life of me get them to firm up!Īfter 20-30 minutes I checked them only to find they were still super, super soft and smeared/collapsed at my touch - after 30-40 minutes the ones on the edges were burning on top but the mix inside the mould was still soft. I spread the mix into moulds (dome/pyramid pan) and baked at 350F well for over 30 minutes… It was all very straightforward (for my second ever baking attempt) and was all going to plan…. Other ingredients were ground chicken, broccoli, dill and green tea (in place of plain water) and blended to a puree, then coconut oil, sifted coconut flour and the flax egg (or two) folded into the mix (with more water/tea added as needed). I gave this recipe a try recently – I used it to replace egg in some homemade dog training treats I was making with silicone moulds as I wanted to include some flax into my dog’s diet. Hi there! :) Thank you for sharing this!!
