Hi, I’m the Wondersmith and I love designing recipes that look like one thing but are actually another… perfect for April Fool’s Day! Many of these recipes can be found on my blog, and the rest will be going into a series of books I’ve been working on for almost five years now! You can follow along for updates on my social media.
Happy day of trickery!

I designed these buns because so many people told me they wanted to eat lava… a red pepper bread is filled with molten cheese sauce that’s the perfect combination of creamy and spicy. A crackle topping gives some crunch and a realistic lava appearance.

Pretty little tea cakes? Nope! These are my take on a savory Peruvian potato dish called “Potatas Causa.” Different colors of potatoes and sweet potatoes create a vibrant palette for piping beautiful flower designs around a vegan “crab” salad made out of mushrooms!

Not only is this gorgeous terrarium entirely edible, but it’s also totally plant-based to boot! Avocados sneak into the chocolate mousse, zucchini creeps into the chocolate cake, and that bright moss is crumbled cake baked with spinach! You won’t taste the veggies in this decadent treat, though, I promise.
