The Sugar Lab by Eric

Did you know chocolate makes you happier? I haven’t baked in a while but I really needed some chocolate in my life lately. This cake is perfect for the chocolate fanatics out there. It’s so rich and so moist. Made with dairy-free yogurt to give it that extra softness and richness. This is my go-to chocolate cake.

Fun fact: when I kissed my boyfriend for the first time, “I can hear the bells” from Hairspray was randomly playing in the background. I kept thinking about that while making my first wedding cake. The past week in the sugar lab I’ve been popping out cake after cake after cake practicing something I’ve never done before. I’ve made more buttercream this past week than I’ve ever thought I’d make in my life. This one was definitely a challenge and it definitely came with its frustrations. It was a true learning curve. In the end I’m happy I did it. It was a successful experiment in the sugar lab. Stay tuned for what I concoct next!

Am I the only one who thought Spongebob’s mom was a cookie? Anyway, hello! I haven’t posted in a while because I haven’t had time to bake in a hot second. I started a new full time job that I love and have been getting adjusted into the apartment with new furniture arriving everyday this week! I finally had time to bake and I chose cookies tonight! I made some vegan peanut butter cookies, vegan chocolate chip cookies, and vegan short bread cookies with homemade raspberry jam on top. These cookies are soft and crunchy in all the right places. They are so so good. It’s just Nicole and I in the apartment so we’ll probably eat all these in the next day. 🥴 @ Cedar Falls, Iowa
