This post is all puns intended! I NEVER bake. It's not my thing and if I am going to be drowning in fat, sugar and deliciousness; I would rather the delicacy be made by an expert. Basically not me. :)
The annual meteor showers must be playing some trick on my brain. I got in a baking mood. My inspiration - Gina, my coworker. She is my Guru on healthy but tastes oh so good items. She baked this fabulous peach yellow cake. Best of all it was guilt free - she swooped the eggs and oil for unsweetened applesauce and egg white. It was deeelish!!
So I tried my hand at baking. Spice cake with bananas that were carmelized with sugar in the raw, vanilla essence and fresh grated cinnamon. Same as the peach cake, I made the spice cake with applesauce and egg whites. I was craving icing so I made low fat cinnamon cream cheese icing. I used 1/2 cup low fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup fat free cream cheese, made my own confectioners sugar, vanilla essence and fresh grated cinnamon. To make your own confectioners sugar just blend regular sugar in a magic bullet like appliance. It saves you time, money and chemicals like corn starch. So here it is one of my first attempts at baking healthy. I'm taking it in to work tomorrow. Wish me luck!! :)
