Vegan you say?....with a side of blueberries please!

So at work I have a co-worker who is allergic to dairy products, but what do most of my cupcakes contain?...yup a LOT of dairy.

So I thought why not try to find a good recipe with no dairy...That's easy vegan recipe's are always safe! Keep in mind I never cook vegan or anything of the sort.

Ah!--side note--I found dark chocolate cocoa powder which totally made my day. It's pure amazing.....You should definitely keep your pantry stocked with this stuff...ITS GOLD!!!!

The BASE: or go HERE

*1 cup Chocolate soy milk
*1 tsp apple cider vinegar
*3/4 cup granulated sugar
*1/3 cup canola oil
*1 tsp vanilla extract
*1/2 tsp almond extract
*1 cup all-purpose flour
*1/3 cup cocoa powder
*3/4 tsp baking soda
*1/2 tsp baking powder
*1/4 tsp salt

----if you follow the link you can find out how to cook them properly...VERY simple and tasty!

Ta-Da! dark chocolate vegan cupcake...People who arn't vegans also gave great reviews : )
Frosting also doesn't contain any dairy!

A very deep, rich chocolaty flavor and color!


For the non-vegan people I baked Blueberry Pie Bars!!

Alana's B-day!

Happy Belated birthday to Alana!

She turned a whoppin 18 years old

...okay im kidding...

Here are some of the cupcakes I made for her birthday. Her favorite cake is red velvet so I used the previous recipe for the base and topped it off with some cream cheese frosting.

Little candy pearls and glitter....very classy


Fondant flowers were fun to create. Felt like I was in art class again....

I even snuck in Hello Kittty!

It's not really Friday...but it is Friday

So, to celebrate the fake friday we start the weekend off with moist red velvet cupcakes!

The color is vivid and the cake wasn't so dense and heavy as other red velvets I've had in the paste...Perfecto'!

The recipe can be found here:
Of course take note that baking times will differ. Cupcakes range from 20-25 min.

of course with decadent creme cheese frosting : )

Happy 4th everyone!





Enjoy!
