Thanksgiving!

Mixing Bowl Bakery did a bunch of Thanksgiving orders this season! Thanks to loyal & new clients, I had a bunch of sweet potatoes to peel, pumpkins to puree, and tofurkey's to roast. Every dish was homemade - down to the whole pumpkins, seasoned breadcrumbs, cashew cheeze sauce, slowly roasted garbanzo beans, coconut whipped cream, and fried onions for the green bean casserole. This was the first delivery service that Mixing Bowl Bakery has offered and it was a huge success. Every dish was inspired by Grandma Lawson's thanksgiving dinners.

The Mixing Bowl Bakery

I'm in business! I just delivered the Mixing Bowl Bakery's first order today and boy was it a doozy. Lucky for me, I did my first order in the middle of a huge snow storm. While I full heartedly appreciate thunder snow, this storm definitely made things a bit more difficult. For Christ's sake, this city has been acting like it's recovering from the apocalypse...which it basically is.

Anyways, enough chit chat about thunder snow, let's talk cupcakes. I'm makin' 'em and you should be buyin' 'em. Tell your friends in the Chicagoland area and shoot me an email! Here are a few pictures of what will be sold tomorrow at the Chicago Vegan Meetup happening at Veggie Bite on Milwaukee!
