Flour Power

Hi Guys,
Welcome to my new adventure - a food blog all about baking the vegetarian and plant-based way

I'm passionate about sharing the world of baking and I believe that a slice of good cake is something quite magical! This is why I started this blog in order to share my baking journey, with all it's ups and downs along the way - we can learn together!

Love,

M

I was first introduced to this buttercream on the Great British Bake Off and was amazed at how white, glossy and elegant it looked.
