Candy and a birtday cake!

 

Two weeks ago, I won my first giveaway ever at Miso for Breakfast. She's hosting awesome giveaways every day! How amazing is that? I won a copy of The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life, and started waiting restlessly for it to arrive. It still hasn't. I really hope for it not to be lost somewhere in the gigantic postal system, and keep telling myself it's just taking it's time. 

Only a week later, I won again but from Vegan in Brighton this time. This package arrived today. It's a lot closer distance for a package to travel, so I guess that's why it came earlier. Anyway, I'm so happy. I won candy! White chocolate (which can NOT be found here) and a dark chocolate with pumpkin seeds and hemp oil, and a beautiful box with some lemon sherbets.

 I've never even heard of something called "sherbets" before this was in my hand, so I was excited to try one. Look how cute the box is! The sherbets turned out to be a hard candy with lemon flavour, and oh my did they taste good!

I haven't tried the chocolate yet, but I'll let you know how good it was when I have.

As if that's not enough with sweet stuff, here's a cake too! One of my friends I have hear turns 16 on Sunday, so we wanted to celebrate her sometime this week. To make it a little extra more fun, we turned it into a surprise. We said she needed to come here so that we could plan some activities for the organisation we are working for (and she is the president of) but instead of a boring meeting this cake is what welcomed her! I also made here a recipe zine with some of my favourite vegan recipes which I hope she will enjoy! The cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate pudding between the layers, and topped with lemon butter cream turned pink with food colouring.
