Topic “Bakery”

For her birthday, "V" asked me to bake a cake from scratch. I had to oblige. She is not vegan by any possible definition of the word. Not a vegetarian either. She is a true meat lover. Still, I made two cakes: one regular, and one vegan. This recipe is for the vegan one.

There was a Ballroom/Salsa Fusion party this last Sunday (December 14, 2008) to which I was invited by the awesomest dancer Laura Geldys. The idea was to meet at her place and have a nice brunch with a bunch of friends. Needless to say, I got there late.

Just now I was talking on the phone with my good friend Joel, when I mentioned that I was craving a bean soup. It was totally random, but there it was. The thing is, if I'm making bean soup, I'd like to make it from scratch, soaking the beans overnight and all. I wasn't up for that, and I wanted something now. How about biscuits? I took a bag of flour and started reading. It turns out I didn't have any of the ingredients listed.
