Vegan Bites: Chocolate & Hearts
Prepping for V Day
Heart Bunting
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day smack in the middle of Chinese New Year.
No stores are open here in Shanghai, so we had to get creative with stuff already stashed away.
We took out the Heart Bunting made last year (easy felt cut-outs sewn on the machine in one line. How I love Pinterest!!)
O was camera-ready and waiting!
Then came the REAL good Valentine's tradition; Chocolate!
Pinterest saved the day again with a lovely little vegan chocolate zucchini cake recipe.
We changed a few bits, turned them into cupcakes and had ourselves breakfast dessert!
Tweaking Tips
~reduce sugar by 1/2 cup
~sub in carob instead of cocoa powder
~halve oil with apple sauce
~20 minutes bake time for cupcakes
Despite a little tweaking, they did not disappoint!
Have your Cake!
Yummy sans icing!
We topped off the morning with a little Arthur.
Happy Heart Day!
