Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple Sharlotka Cake

July 30, 2017

I made this once for fun, but quickly realized how delicious it was and now it’s my go-to for an easy and insanely good sweet treat. Something a little different but with the comfort of apples, cinnamon, and sweet batter. But in a upside-down sort of way.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting

April 15, 2017

Did you all know there is a difference between frosting and icing? I’ve always used them interchangeably, but apparently they are actually different. Icing is traditionally “thinner and glossier” and tastes more sugary while frosting is “thicker and fluffier.” The more you know, right?

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake

January 26, 2017

Mmm chocolate cake! If I had to choose one type of cake to eat forever, it would be chocolate, preferably with some praline* between the layers. Either way, chocolate is king! Moist and decadent with its rich chocolate brown color, this will be your go-to chocolate cake recipe. Did I mention it is gluten AND dairy free? Well it is and no one will be able to tell a difference.

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.


Here’s what shakin’, bacon!
