Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World

[veganwitch]

I made the pumpkin chocolate chip ones for Halloween b/c they were orange and black :). I changed the icing a bit to make it more of a frosting. I used all the same ingredients just added more sugar and soymilk. For me, the cupcake is all about the frosting. Both my husband and I love them.

Okay, I have been procrastinating about getting this book... but this thread totally sold me! They all look so delicious, and I must have a cupcake soon!

I will absolutely check back soon with pics of cupcake adventuring!

I have to say, that when I made some of the basic chocolate cupcakes and the golden vanilla cupcakes recently, I wasn't so impressed, the icing was good and we really enjoyed that but I was left really unsure about the cake bit of the recipe.
Everyone seems to be raving about them, perhaps I cooked them wrong, I thought they lacked flavour and were almost 'eggy' in the middle.

Anyway, the pictures all look great!

I made a half ass attempt version of the basic chocolate cupcakes and thought they were yummy! I just threw all the ingredients together, mixed them up and poured the lumpy mix into the pan... they were flat, but the taste couldn't be much different?

I made some basic chocolate cupcakes at the weekend with a vanilla/chocolate frosting mix - it wasn't quite the vision in marbled frosting I dreamed of, but they still looked quite impressive and tasted amazing! :)

[RubyDuby]

i'm not big on frosting, but that looks delicious.

[veganwitch]

I have a bit of a strange question - does anyone have any advice for NOT getting icing/powdered sugar all over a 20cm radius of the mixer when making frosting?

No matter how I try I always get a cloud of sugar coming out of the mixer when I make the basic buttercream frosting, and have no big ideas on how to stop it :D

[fooldramaqueen]

Made this weekend: vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting & jelly tots, choc cupcakes with choc frosting, and peanut butter cupcakes with choc frosting & walnuts...

I actually altered the vanilla recipe slightly, removing the cornflour & adding a wee bit more oil. This seemed to make a bit moister and more like the choc cupcakes turn out.

[RubyDuby]

those look great!

and i love the plates (or whatever the cupcake holder is called :D)

[fooldramaqueen]

Thank you! It's my very classy Argos cake stand :o
