Ahh the cute little piggies! Looks like you had fun with this one @foodie.warrior. It's funny, we had a very similar entry last month from @ikaputri with her 'Piggy Steamed Buns', made in completely different way with different ingredients, and yet they look so alike (hers didn't get the sunburn haha). I imagine anyone with a sweet tooth would gobble these up just like you... I don't eat sugar anymore myself but in the past I would have loved these! It's great using naturally sweet ingredients like sweet potato to reduce the amount of sugar needed, and beetroot for colouring instead of artificial food colourings. This is not such an easy recipe and I commend you for putting in all the time and effort to make them. Great photos. Fab entry, good luck!

hehe thanks @woman-onthe-wing =)
I totally wasn't aware that she had done those a month back till she told me and linked her post in a comment above..NOooooo...
If I have time, I'll do up a second 'Beautiful Bread' entry tomorrow then haha..I still have fresh yeast to use up =)
Wow, you cut sugar out of your diet entirely?? That sounds like a painstaking task requiring loads of self-discipline! I hope someday I'll join you..but it's really tough for me because I have such a sweet tooth, and substitutes like dates, stevia, honey, etc sometimes simply can't replace the flavour or texture of sugar! arghh..I'm such an addict to that poison =O
Yeah it was really difficult, since I used to eat a chocolate bar for breakfast, and then several choc bars, bicuits, cakes, whatever, for supper... every single day! But I think it was when I became pregnant a few years ago I started cutting way back on treats, and eventually replaced all sugary treats with other things like homemade banana & date loaf or frozen natural yoghurt mixed with fruit... things like that. At least they satisfied my sweet cravings! And now I can't eat anything with processed sugar... it tastes too sweet... and synthetic somehow. A lot of people don't even realise sugar is super addictive, more so than tobacoo, and then more you eat the more you want, it's crazy stuff!!!
Your entry is fine, it doesn't matter it looks like @ikaputri3's because the recipes are totally different so it's not like you copied her! But if you do post another entry I'll surely enjoy looking... you are a wonderful cook and I'm glad you decided to join in the challenge lately!
Wow that's a serious sugar-kicking accomplishment! Congrats babe =DD
You're totally right on the big sugary abyss that almost everyone in the world slips down into..some realise how crazy addictive that substance is, but simply carry on eating it till there's a big reason to cut down (type 2 diabetes, pregnancy in your case, etc). I've yet to reach that point..will update you if and when I do! =D
