Vegan Andrew W.Kupcakes

Vegan Andrew W.Kupcakes

To know me is to love me - and to love me is to fully accept my Andrew W.K. obsession without question.  For those of you who have already been seduced by his bloody face, greasy hair and filthy shoes you're nodding your head in agreement right now. You know how...

Vegan Sweet Potato Cupcakes

Vegan Sweet Potato Cupcakes

Most of the time, I get an idea in my head and spend the next several days scrambling around trying to find all the ingredients needed to make the idea a reality. And by "reality," I mean "cupcake." This time, Teno and I were pillaging Trader Joe's for all their...

Vegan Pancake Cupcakes

Vegan Pancake Cupcakes

Wondering why I didn't start this recipe post with a photo of the finished product? Um, because I made these with a three-year-old and seven-year-old and they decorated them with Scooby Doo fruit snacks so... gross. Yeah. Anyway, it's not a big deal - I was home with...

Ah yes, I've been threatening you with iced tea cupcakes for some time now and I finally made good on it this week end. The legend goes, my mother-in-law Jo drinks the shit out of this weird powdered iced tea. She drinks so much that she has a bag of it in my...

Vegan Coconut Lime Cupcakes for the Stupid and Lazy

  First of all, this is not what my cupcakes looked like. This is Lime Cat, famous Internet superstar. I'm stupid and I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes I made yesterday and I couldn't find any pictures of limes or coconuts that didn't make me fall asleep. So...

This is one of the variations offered on the vegan chocolate cupcake recipe in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World... which you should buy if you haven't yet. I switched out espresso for coffee in the buttercream recipe, as I have a giant espresso machine and I like to...

Vegan French Toast Cupcakes

Vegan French Toast Cupcakes

  These were an experiment and I can't rightly say how they turned out as they will be tested upon the customers at the DIY Trunk Show tomorrow. Also, I am terrified of vegan cream cheese due to one bad experience I had when I lived with a bunch of boys, so I was too...

Vegan Apple Ginger Cupcakes with Orange Clove “Butter”cream

Vegan Apple Ginger Cupcakes with Orange Clove “Butter”cream

This recipe is still a work in progress, I was asked to make a vegan version of the "Joel" cakes from last week. The flavor proportions need tweaking, the general consensus is less ginger in the cake and less orange in the frosting. So I'm still working on it. For the...

Vegan Fauxstess

Vegan Fauxstess

I decided to make these for an art sale I took part in this week end. They're just a combo of different vegan cupcake elements I've used before, just switched all around. To make vegan cream filled chocolate cupcakes with ganache, or Fauxstess cupcakes, you'll need...

Vegan Elvis Comeback Special Cupcake

Vegan Elvis Comeback Special Cupcake

It's been a while since I've baked, and what better way to come back than with banana, peanut butter and chocolate? I really can't think of one.  For the cupcakes you will need: 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 tsp...
