Feeling like Meryl Streep

The loot from yesterday.....I'm still revelling in it....there was a cookbook, a gift certificate for Vegan Essential, subscription to Veg News (twice), cookies, bags, pins and lovely ribbons...which I wore on my shirt last night - very proudly!

I won!! Not once but twice yesterday at the 2nd annual Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake Off - for my "Nutville Cookies".

Fantastic Cookie and Amazing Presentation were my "major awards"

This is the presentation for the judges - I put the Nutville sheet music on a CD and wrote out the ingredients like song lyrics....

This is for the general (hungry) public and there were some 300 people there at Harbourfront Community Centre.

I fashioned little tinfoil instruments - a sax and here a trumpet, when I couldn't find any to purchase...

I got a special mention about the clever presentation from Eden who operates "New Moon Kitchen" cookies...I was in line for a delicious Lime Coconut Cake at the time...mmm...one of my faves....as was the savoury Potluck Pesto Bread, a nice treat after so much sugar!

I would like to thank the academy.....

Thanks really to judges Jae Steele who authored one of my favourite cookbooks, "Get it Ripe" she's in the middle, Eden

Lisa Pittman is a force of nature in a delightful way - her incredible dedication and enthusiasm to organizing and promoting this event is much appreciated along with the wonderful volunteers who helped out yesterday.

Did a bit of Nuit Blanche last night and tonight it's Cory Weeds at Chalkers...
