When I think of cookies and cakes, baking comes to mind - and that's exactly what deterred me from making desserts in the past. I love the magical scent of baked cokkied but few failed attempts were discouraging. However I've discovered the wonderful world of raw, no-bake cakes which have revolutionized my vision of homemade sweets. Another bonus? Desserts can be very flavorful, nutritious and delicious and extremely filling - without the use of regular sugar and/or flour.
