Doth mine eyes deceive me?

One passion I have intensely developed is a refusal to accept that gluten and dairy intolerance sufferers should have to compromise on the quality of baked goods. I have lately undertaken this as my personal mission to prove the "you-can't-have-banoffee-pie-without-dairy" sentiment wrong.

My dear husband even doubted. I threw the gauntlet down before his very eyes, and I conquered: 

The conquest wasn't easy. After over an hour of experimenting with spun sugar, resulting in a burnt finger and burnt saucepan, I began to doubt my efforts. However, the fact that if I had not said it was dairy-free and fellow munchers would have been none-the-wiser...HUZZAH!
