I checked around on some of the other daring bakers' pages and found that even a few of the non-vegans had issues pop up here and there (what a relief!). (-: I like the scientific approach to your baking...try this, nope, okay try this instead, nope - okay, now with the information I have just gained, try this...such methodry is bound to produce results eventually! (Although I do think that while the occasional profane utterance may not assist in the baking process, it certainly helps the baker...) (-: Cheers!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I think your eclairs look scrumptious, by the way! The picture of your so-called "revolting" batch, just look like crispy madeleines to me...Monika Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08323280644122921851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512305059597718590.post-58959851651851075552008-09-01T12:30:52.363-05:002008-09-01T12:30:52.363-05:00Em, Dad and I have had strawberry cheesecake for breakfast on 2 consecutive days. One must eat left-overs, you know. It's not as wonderful as your creations nor is it as difficult to produce in a vegan manner. It's a nice companion snack to your blog. Have some tea and relax now.<BR/>MomKeylessPianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05213506598897409485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512305059597718590.post-53235567353970903972008-09-01T11:57:34.007-05:002008-09-01T11:57:34.007-05:00Emilie, I totally feel your frustration.

Even with the failures, it's great to read about your thought processes. <BR/><BR/>The only other thing I can think of is chickpea flour - low gluten, but yellowy, high protein and eggy in flavor. But I'm not sure how I'd incorporate it. <BR/><BR/>:) AmeyAmeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512305059597718590.post-23339610862004368282008-09-01T08:08:38.119-05:002008-09-01T08:08:38.119-05:00Looks like all the experimentation was definitely worth the work--and caramel cream sounds absolutely heavenly.
