Schelle Sweets Vegan..Gluten & Diary Free

Sugar free vegan carrot cake with sugar free vegan frosting We used Maple Syrup for a refined sugar free frosting. Soon Schelle Sweets will be offering: Cupcakes Cakes & Brownies all of which will be Gluten Free..Diary Free...Egg Free for our Fats we will use Canola or cold press Coconut Oil we will use Maple Syrup or Agave as our Sweetner we will use Rice flour. Schelle Sweets is on a personal journey to experience the joys of being Vegan. And so far I am enjoying it, I am not saying I will never eat Meat again, but for now I am loving how I feel. And giving up Meat was so easy to do. It's giving up Baskin Robbins Rocky Road Icecream that is my Kryptonite. But in time it will be also gone. Is it possible for a child to be born Vegan? Hummmm!!! well I think my son was born Vegan. You may laugh, our household is a meat eating..icecream eating..candy eating home. But my son does not like Candies..Chocolate..Pop..Meat of any kind. And trust me I have offered it to him..he looks at it with a YUCK face. He eats only Rye bread..not a fan of Yogurt or Cheese. He will sit and eat a bag of Tositos Corn Chip though. So maybe a bit of my little one rubbed off on me. Cause for the pass six months I have been enjoying this change in eating. Though the option of eating Organic meat is there..I have no urge to eat meat. In fact it turns me off. Well it's Lunch time I gotta run, what shall I eat today what shall I eat today??? And the journey continues.

Trial & Error

Having two Sons & a God-son I am able to play around and try diffirent things when it comes to their Birthdays. I tried making a Camera cake for my Godson was not the best and smoothest fondant coverage. It was a good TRY :) I was happy with the end result and the best part is the Birthday boy could tell it was a Camera. Then there was the Ipod cake a year later. Not too pleased with the finish product, but the cake was delishhhhhhh I was told..I tried


Then when it was my boys Birthdays again I thought I was Cake Boss. Made the Nintendo Wii cake. Golf theme cake & a Baseball Cap cake.


Can't wait till next year what will I try to make? Stay tuned and find out.

Different is good.


Cake covered with Chocolate Leaves were done for Pearl as a Wedding Cake. She wanted something simple & small and this was my idea. I used real leaves painted them with melted chocolate was extremely happy with the end result.



Clutch Purse was done for a 21st Birthday.

Neck Candy aka Ascots



Welcome to the world of Ascots or as I like to call it Neck Candy. An Ascot is such a small item, but it makes such a bold statement. It adds both elegance & pepp to your wardrobe. Rock an Ascot with your casual look or take your Dinner Jacket to another level by pairing it with an Ascot. As you can see from an Ascot knows no age limit, weather it is worn by a Celebrity or a little Prince :) . There are a few ways to wear your Ascot and there are also many colours and fabrics to choose from. Looking for a conversation piece this 2010 think about an Ascot. To learn more and order one contact my friend Dimitri at www.sansfacon.ca and you can also follow him on his Blog http://www.sansfaconplanet.com/2009/03/president-obama-needs-ascot.html
