so, i promised i would blog about the vegan cupcakes. i was making them for my friend, caroline's birthday. i don't really know much about vegan baking. in my experience, it's more difficult than cooking, because you need to use things like egg replacer and vegan margarine, and, well, these foods are not necessarily what i want to be using. or eating. the problem with a lot of vegan products is the enormous amount of weird, processed stuff used to make them seem like the original version. i could figure out what sodium carboxymethylcellulose is, but i would rather just use something else.
i found an awesome vegan cupcake recipe online, of course. it's from a cookbook called vegan cupcakes take over the world. they were so very tasty, and easy to make. i bet there are other incredible recipes in the book. there's also an icing recipe on the site, too, but april was my baking partner on this project, so she made the icing. it was beautiful. very fluffy. nothing gave the hint that they were vegan; that's pretty amazing. (maybe she'll respond to this post with her recipe. hint. hint.)
i can't take credit for this recipe. go here: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10794
