So... what exactly is it that makes vegan desserts such a challenge?

 

Well, working with unfamiliar plant-based ingredients can be tricky. And unpredictable. And failures are expensive. 🙈

 

If it were easy to get right, there wouldn't be that stereotype... you know, the immediate suspicion from your family or coworkers when they find out a dessert is vegan.

And it can be totally deflating to put a bunch of time and effort into a baking project, just to end up with a hard, crumbly cake, or gloopy textures or funky flavors.

Or worse, really wanting to make a recipe but needing it to be nut-free, or gluten-free, and then having substitutions you try... flop.

Or wishing you could make that treasured recipe vegan but not knowing where to start. It's frustrating.

However...

The truth is, there's a lot more going on beneath the surface with successful plant-based recipes than most of us were ever taught.

Sure, you learned how to cook and bake when you were younger, but how many of us grew up using plant-based ingredients with our mothers and grandmothers? Coconut butter? Agave? Cacoa butter?

Or have recipes handed down from generation to generation that are dairy-free, tailored to our sensitivities, and made without gluten? Or maybe you were never taught to bake at all!

The thing is, success with plant-based baking comes down to way more than any single recipe can teach you.

Especially if you want the kind of repeatable success that allows you to nourish those you care for, waste less time and money, AND make the time you DO have to spend in you kitchen a joy where you can relax and express your creativity.

INTRODUCING THE... 

Intuitive Baking 6-Week InteractiveProgram 

Beginning Monday, October 21

Hi, I'm Audrey

I run the plant-based dessert site Unconventional Baker, and I love experimenting with alternative ingredients and finding new ways to share gluten-free/ dairy-free/ refined-sugar free treats that EVERYONE can enjoy and share at gatherings..

Level Up Your Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Recipes

Dive into different challenging aspects of "veganizing" beloved recipes OR crafting new recipes without eggs, dairy, or gluten. We'll explore:

> Textures in GF baked goods, (think light & fluffy, good crumb and rise)

> Egg substitutions (you've got options!).... and knowing which ones are better suited for your purpose

> Dairy product replacement: what to use instead of milk, cream, and butter

> Looking into how things outside the recipe may be affecting your baking results

All with the aim of improving + simplifying your baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pie.

Have fun with No-Bake / Raw Vegan Dessert Craft



We’ll explore all the unique elements that make up these types of desserts, including the:

> Plant-based ingredients at the heart of it all, what makes them work, and what trips most people up. And how to adjust recipes to suit your dietary needs. 

> Specific techniques to achieve the very best results, including equipment and tools best suited for the job

> Presentation aspect, including beautiful natural decorating options, creativity, decorating patterns and swirls, and natural coloring

> And last (but super important!) how to handle, preserve, transport, and serve no-bake desserts. No more bumped & bruised cakes from a rough trip to an event!

We'll be exploring...

The Unconventional Baker Method, which I've developed over the last thirteen years of teaching people how to create beautiful plant-based desserts that are custom tailored to their preferences and needs.

What I realized over the years is that it's not good enough to just hand someone a recipe and say... here! It's dairy-free. Doesn't have cashews. It's chocolate... you love chocolate, right?

Because we all come to this plant-based journey with different needs and requirements and they sometimes change over time... So to move beyond just following recipes, to being able to customize, tweak, and adjust things to be perfect for you is SUCH an important skill.

I've gotten so many questions over the years of how I come up with unique recipe flavors, how I figure out ratios for ingredients, how I adjust sweetness levels or substitute for nuts...

That I decided to explicitly lay out my thinking process so that anyone who's motivated can learn to do the same. There are some parts of making really great vegan desserts that are obvious, and other parts that aren't so obvious.

But in the Intuitive Baking Program, we'll dive into that process in a systematic way which will give you the absolute best foundation for success.

Thank you for these desserts, I am limited in what I can eat. I was reading recipes and stating, I want to make this, and I want to make this and this one.

Ok, so how much is my investment?

Real talk: I've planned to open the Intuitive Baking Program for several years, but I've been steadily working behind the scenes to improve it.

And while the program isn't cheap... it's a small investment to fast track your learning and get insight into exactly what is holding back your plant-based desserts from being truly wonderful.

When I was learning how to handle plant-based ingredients, make custom desserts for special diets and decorate with natural elements, I invested thousands on ingredients, equipment, and more experiments than I care to remember which ended up in the trash.

It took so much effort, expense, and years of failed attempts before I was in the position to start sharing recipes that I knew would work, let alone taste great and fill the need for those of us who have special requirements.

And once I understood the process of how to make great desserts, it took another 13 years of teaching others and really documenting that artistic process to be in a position to share this program. Which is how I developed The Unconventional Baker Method.

To work one-on-one with individuals who need specific custom tailored recipes for their exact ingredient requirements takes a lot of time, which is why these types of consults would price most people out of that option, but what I really wanted to do was have a way to reach as many people as possible with a comprehensive, supportive and affordable system to make custom plant-based desserts a reality.

So because I'm committed to making the Intuitive Baking Program as accessible to as many people as possible, the program with community support will normally be $497.

However, I really want to help as many people as possible hit the ground running with this inaugural round of the program, so I've decided to lower that to $397 if you pay upfront.

So... it's time to decide

If you want to become a really great plant-based baker, it's not going to happen until you get those hands messy and that creative inspiration flowing!

The way I see it, there's basically two options:

#1 You keep dreaming about "one day" when you'll get those baking projects done you keep meaning to get to (and we ALL know that life gets in the way of "one day" all the time...)

#2 Or, you make a choice to invest in yourself, in your creative pursuits, and the skills you'll build and have to share with the most important people in your life. If you're ready for this option, I'd love to have you join me in the Intuitive Baking Program, where you'll be supported on this next step of your journey!

I'm ready to get baking!

But... we'll be starting soon
