Baked By Clo: Easy Vegan Desserts
Nice to meet you! I’m Chloe and I’m the author of Baked By Clo.
Why I Started Baked By Clo
I’ve always baked for fun, ever since I was a child. And I was by no means a professional, but my cakes and other sweet treats were always well-received.
By simply learning a few egg and dairy replacements, I found that I could recreate the same desserts I’ve always made but in a vegan-friendly way. And now, after a little practice, most people don’t even realise my cakes and other treats are vegan until I tell them.
To help get you started with your vegan baking journey, I’ve created the ultimate vegan baking cheat sheet. Feel free to print it out and stick it to your kitchen wall!
The cheat sheet contains lots of plant-based substitutions for traditional baking ingredients, plus a few simple recipes for things like buttermilk, caramel and whipped cream.
Some Random Fun Facts About Me
- I have always been more of a writer than a talker and used to dream of being an author when I was younger. I would write my own “books”, complete with illustrations, and read them to my gran’s dog as a bedtime story, lol. Although I never pursued my author dreams, my writing hobby helped a lot in the creation of Baked By Clo.
- I was born in 1992. I grew up in a small city in Scotland but in the last 10 years, I have travelled to 28 countries- one for almost every year I’ve been alive! I especially love to travel on my own and found it a great way to deal with the social anxiety that used to control my life.
- Despite being a decent baker, my cooking skills are terrible! I am working on it but it just doesn’t come as naturally to me as baking does.
- I’ve worked in a variety of jobs over the years but never really felt truly fulfilled until I started blogging. I love creatively expressing myself while being able to help other people at the same time.
- I am a low-key hippy and love anything to do with spirituality, nature and self-development.
- Although I have a huge love for sweet treats, I’m actually quite the health enthusiast in my day-to-day life. Of course, I still believe in balance and treating yourself because I do NOT want to live a life without chocolate.
- Some of my favourite recipes on the blog are my macarons, pavlova, Biscoff cheesecake, and double chocolate cookies.
