These foods would be made without peanuts, tree nuts, eggs or milk and despite all those left-out ingredients, these treats would be delicious. They would be so good, in fact, everyone (with or without food allergies) would ask to share them.

Now, Divvies fun-foods are available to share with families and friends across the country. Divvies cookies, popcorns, and cupcakes are made in the company’s-own dedicated facility where no peanuts, tree nuts, eggs or milk enter the doors. Divvies candies, frosting, and sprinkles are certified by their manufacturers to be peanut-, tree nut-, milk-, and egg-free and are packaged in Divvies Bakery. Divvies conducts routine testing to minimize the risk of any cross-contamination in their certified allergen-free ingredients. ]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 22:50:06 -0400 600 2010-05-31 http://www.veganbaking.net/vegan-bakery-directory/new-york/599-electric-blue-baking-and-catering http://www.veganbaking.net/vegan-bakery-directory/new-york/599-electric-blue-baking-and-catering Electric Blue Baking and Catering: Anita Sharp of Electric Blue goes the extra mile to provide affordable, healthy, vegan catering and baked goods with a personal touch.

BabyCakes offers all-natural, organic and delicious alternatives free from the common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy, casein and eggs. Rest assured, all sweeteners have been chosen responsibly and used sparingly. White sugar will never be found in our bakery, nor will we ever use toxic chemical sweeteners. Instead, most products are sweetened with agave nectar—a natural syrup from a cactus which is low on the glycemia index and often a safe alternative to most non-insulin dependant diabetics. Occasionally, unprocessed and unrefined sugar is used in certain goods, although sparingly. ]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 19:09:43 -0400 594 2010-05-31 http://www.veganbaking.net/breads/hearth-breads/593-sprouted-wild-yeasted-whole-wheat-bread http://www.veganbaking.net/breads/hearth-breads/593-sprouted-wild-yeasted-whole-wheat-bread This Sprouted Wild Yeasted Whole Wheat Bread recipe is a nod to how the first breads probably got their start. Wheat berries were probably softened with water, ground and left out in the elements where they were then populated by airborne yeasts and bacteria, causing the dough to rise slightly. Placing this dough on hot rocks in or near a fire probably resulted in a fine vegan treat like nothing else available at the time. ]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 18:10:36 -0400 593 2010-05-31 http://www.veganbaking.net/cake-decorating/toppings/590-white-chocolate-ganache http://www.veganbaking.net/cake-decorating/toppings/590-white-chocolate-ganache This smooth White Chocolate Ganache recipe uses cocoa butter without the cocoa solids making it a versatile white and creamy vegan topping for cakes, truffles or fillings. Unlike margarine or butter, cocoa butter and coconut oils melt rapidly when they reach their melting point instead of softening slowly. Due to this, extra care must be taken as it resolidifies from it's melting temperature of 93F (34C) to 100F (38C). You can adjust the firmness by adding or subtracting 1 Tablespoon of water. Also feel free to substitute 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon of liqueur or other flavoring extract to further customize your ganache. ]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 23:15:32 -0400 590 2010-05-26 5 http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/588-how-to-sprout-grains http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/588-how-to-sprout-grains I have an obsession with sprouting grains and legumes. I think it's related to my obsession of inviting nature take it's sweet time to process your raw ingredients in it's own special way. Sprouting instead of cooking has many advantages if you have the roughly three days to spare. Supplanting puréed sprouted grains for some or all of your flour is also a great way to make hearty breads. ]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 21:05:17 -0400 588 2010-05-19 http://www.veganbaking.net/breakfast/waffles/586-gingerbread-waffles http://www.veganbaking.net/breakfast/waffles/586-gingerbread-waffles One of my favorite breakfasts is this Gingerbread Waffle recipe accompanied by a cup of strong coffee and veggie sausage on the side. Just when you''re thinking that you may be eating dessert you'll notice a savoriness that will assert that this is indeed breakfast. Slather these vegan waffles with a touch of almond butter, a splash of maple syrup and a sprinkling of Balsamic Candied Pecans to make this a truly memorable experience. ]]> Wed, 19 May 2010 00:59:03 -0400 586 2010-05-19 http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/584-whats-the-best-way-to-store-bread http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/584-whats-the-best-way-to-store-bread So now that you're making your own bread, or at least enjoying your favorite tasty bread to the fullest, how do you store it so it's as good as possible for as long as possible? I've seen it all in bread storage schemes. Bread stored in paper bags, in the freezer, in the refrigerator; I remember a friend who's Mom stored even it in the microwave oven, using it as a makeshift bread box. The question of how to best store bread is difficult to answer. This is because it depends on what your goal is: Are you planning on keeping high quality bread as fresh as possible for a few days so it can be used for the next chowdown with minimal staling? Are you just trying to squeeze maximum longevity of your sandwich bread to it can be used up before it starts to mold? ]]> Sat, 15 May 2010 00:47:50 -0400 584 2010-05-15 http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/571-mothers-day-vegan-baking-buying-guide http://www.veganbaking.net/articles-and-guides/571-mothers-day-vegan-baking-buying-guide Is Mom into vegan baking, traditional baking or just benefiting from the aftermath of whoever bakes? No problem. Read on for what I recommend for Mom this Mother's Day. ]]> Fri, 07 May 2010 01:26:47 -0400 571 2010-05-07 http://www.veganbaking.net/cake-decorating/frostings/570-rich-peanut-butter-frosting http://www.veganbaking.net/cake-decorating/frostings/570-rich-peanut-butter-frosting This silky smooth vegan Peanut Butter Frosting packs a peanut buttery punch that can really dress up any vegan cake. This recipe takes advantage of caramelizing sugar to the thread stage of 230F (110C) where it contributes a smooth velvety texture. It also utilizes the power of soy milk powder (not to be confused with soy flour). Soy milk powder adds extraordinary creaminess while still allowing the frosting to remain firm. ]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 05:00:00 -0400 570 2010-05-05 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/568-strawberry-pop-tarts http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/568-strawberry-pop-tarts Pop tarts are one of the easiest ways to pair fruit with flaky pastry goodness. This vegan Strawberry Pop Tart recipe can be customized with whatever fruit preserves you have on hand. You can also fill them with things like chocolate; maple sugar and cinnamon; bananas and coconut, the possibilities are endless! Heck, you can even fill them with savory stuff like caramelized onions, mushrooms and potatoes. I won't judge. Just be sure to keep the filling under 2 teaspoons so they don't push out the sides during baking. The pastry is based on Flaky Pie Crust and features just the right ratio of Vegan Butter or margarine to shortening for the flakiest, most flavorful crust around.
