What are you craving?

Shredded wheat 🤔
No, they remind me of a cross between a milk cracker and a graham cracker. They are round and not too sweet. I love them with coffee or tea. I forget which brand is vegan (might be McVities), as I haven't had them in a while, but I know there is one brand that has milk in the ingredients, so I always read the label on those.

Link to the fb page where I found the recipe so I don't get a violation lol.
Only I don't think it will work...

 
I've never had good luck with replacing more than two eggs in a recipe though. But I'm thinking any basic vegan cake will do. Then there's the issue of the candy corn. So yeah...this is why it's a craving and not a reality lol. 😁

(Bold emphasis mine) I've never tried using egg replacer for more than two eggs. I was going to say, is there vegan candy corn? I used to love candy corn, lol.

@KLS52 About your photo of the candy corn cake this past Saturday: I was craving candy corn somewhat over the past week. I didn't find any, so I don't know if I could have found vegan candy corn. The craving is gone now, anyway. It's for the best: I've been on guard against excessive sugars and refined carbs in my diet lately. ETA: and your photos of all those desserts yesterday: wowza! (Another thing I'll have to severely limit, if not avoid altogether...)
