Oooh, okay. Well it looks a bit 'naff' (as jo would say) however a lot of food does so it's still worth eating. And like you said, you had some trouble with the photos so that probably doesn't help. I'd still totally have eaten it xD
You know, it's holding is shape, doesn't look too dry, too moist or too dense. Has good colour. Blah blah. ~Structure~.

:/ The frosting actually looks just like how it's supposed to. You can look up photos of other German chocolate cakes to see that.
I don't think German chocolate is usually the prettiest of cakes, but I guess since it's an American classic that I've grown up with, the frosting looks perfectly fine to me.
The cake part just looks like my normal cake to me. xD

Well, those kinds of cakes tend to be more practical, rather then delicate and pretty. Like carrot cakes or orange cakes. Chocolate chip cakes... All plain, basic but tasty.

El final día de claseI made vegan Peruvian alfajores for our party on the last day of Spanish class. They were pretty good, but eating too many will definitely make you sick.

Those look pretty good. Though ironically resemble some kind of meaty macaron.

Alfajores are small cookies commonly found in Latin America. They're two unleavened cornstarch-based cookies filled with either dulce de leche or manjar blanco. This was a vegan manjar blanco (which was primarily made up of cashew butter and brown rice syrup). I unfortunately don't know how close they are to traditional alfajores, but people seemed to like them well enough.

My 'diet' hopes this will be the last thing I bake until June. Easter cupcakes The ones with sugar around the edges are vanilla and the ones with it on top are banana. I'm really pleased with the colored sugar as I had to mix it myself (mixing food coloring is about at arty as I get). Also, commercial colored sugar is unvegan for some ridiculous reason. I shall now go puke up all the buttercream frosting I just consumed. (8

How sweet xD My easter marshmallows will be as unvegan as they will be belated.
Coloured sugar is unvegan? Man, people are insane.

The only stuff they had at the store was covered in shellac. Luckily, making your own is extremely easy. <3

I want to gobble all of the cupcakes. Oh lord. That's really weird about the colored sugar. Just. Wow. The alfajores look quaint enough to eat. 8) That sounds ruder than it is.

Look at me! I lasted two weeks without baking! 8DDD *failure* These are some blueberry lemon muffins. Some were sent up with my mother to my grandparents since my grandmother is in the hospital recovering from a broken hip. And, with the left over lemons, I made strawberry lemonade!
