Hi, I was wondering what I had to do to the agar powder in order to use it. Do I have to do anything to it, or do I just mix it with the rest? I’ve never used it before so I’m clueless. Thanks!

My friend just posted a picture of her nutella/strawberry muffins & got me looking for ones I could actually eat. These look amazing AND — I need to avoid saturated fats like palm and coconut oil (besides palm oil harvesting is destroying S.A. animal habitats).
What’s a gf/vegan to do? I’m not soy-free but vegan margarines all have salt anyway.
Can frosting be achieved without sat-fat?

Hi Bronte!
You can use regular icing sugar or maple sugar – and if you want to take out the lemon reduction that works no problem :)

hi there ahsley- so sorry i’ve taken so long to reply! I was away from the blgo for a while and came back to 700 spam messages in my comments- i only now got to your comment, my appologies!! For future reference, if you don’t mind the darker colour, you can always use coconut sugar (looks like brown sugar). using a liquid like agave nectar will make the cake runny/gummy. I hope everything turned out ok for your mom’s cake..! alea

Hi! So I need to make a 50th bay cake for my mom. She’s soy, corn, yeast, sugar, dairy free and I think this Recipie (along with your dairy free soy free corn free frosting ) is just the thing, my question is, can I sub agave for the palm sugar? Im on a time crunch and I don’t know of any Asian markets around me. Please help!
Thanks, I love your blog and after her surprise party I will be give her your URL. She’ll love it!!!
