Birthday Ice Cream Pie! And some cookies...

I know I haven't posted in months, but I've been at school everyday. Then when I return home, I have hours of homework. Fun. But I decided it's time to post some pictures I've taken during my blogging idleness. I haven't taken pictures of nearly everything I've made lately because it would be too much to post, and I haven't made anything very time-consuming. Mostly a gajillion batches of cookies. I also made 24 cupcakes and a batch of cookies to bring to school (for the day after my birthday!), but I didn't take a picture.

It was my birthday two Tuesdays ago (September 26th) and my mom made me the Chocolate Crumb Cashew Ice Cream Pie from Vive le Vegan, the only change being the addition of caramel sauce in the middle of the ice cream layer. I ate it for dinner for three days...mmm...
She made everything except the caramel sauce, which I made.


Candles! They're all in one corner because I didn't want wax on the whole pie.

Blurry inside shot!
I made these cookies a long while ago. They are Double Chocolate Almond Explosion Cookies from Vive le Vegan. Yum. I really like the first picture.


Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies. YES, THEY ARE VEGAN. "How?" might you ask. Well, one day I was at the thrift store and I came across a Hershey Kiss Making Kit. I was excited because I was trying to make a mold for kisses the previous week, so it was a real coincidence. I bought it for a buck and ended up throwing all the parts away except the mold because they had gross old milk chocolate on them and I could melt the chips on the stove top without all the parts that probably work like crap anyway. The only downside is that the chocolate kisses taste slightly plasticky from the mold. I've made mint kisses and almond kisses too!
The recipe is adapted from a non-vegan one I found in the cupboard. I wasn't crazy about the PB cookie recipe, so next time I'll use a different one.
Some muffins. Left is banana peanut butter chocolate chip and right is cornbread with raisins.
