Bake me a vegan cake!

Whenever I pop a spoonful of cake (or anything else for that matter), I do think about vegetarians out there, or even those with allergies to certain ingredients. I was wondering how they are able to indulge themselves, and to recreate the experience of eating something as sinful as cake; without the sinful elements!

There’s where Katie Green’s book came in. A vegan herself for four years, she was on the lookout for good vegan cake but couldn’t find any. So she took matters in her own hands and illustrated and self-published this little gem Bake me a Vegan Cake, which you can read about the process over on her blog, and see some delicious samplings while you’re at it.

Are you drooling already? I know I am!

We covered Esther Coombs’ illustrated teacups a while back, and we’re happy to see that she’s illustrating on a much bigger canvas as well!

For London’s Fashion Week, Esther was asked to draw iconic London buildings on the walls, perspects and glass of Nicole Farhi’s boutique on Bond Street, so if you’re in the area do pop in for a treat (and maybe tell the manager of the shop how much you love them too!)
