Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World

[twinkle]

I get sad when I can't bake. People at work kept asking me what I'd made recently, and when I was next bringing cookies in and I kept telling them I wasn't baking because of trying to lose weight, but I broke my baking dry spell on Friday morning and took in some Happy Vegan chocolate chip cookies. They all got snaffled pretty quickly, which meant there was less temptation for me and I like to think it went some way to making people's Friday cheerier :)

Huge icing crisis! No idea what happened...it was like liquid...why was it not fluffy?! Totally sticking with my old faithful for buttercream frosting...I figured they must know something I don't. I am obvously wrong. :eek:

would you mind sharing your old faithful? I always* end up with liquid.

*although I rarey bake... still would be nice to have a good recipe!

Which recipe did you use? I must have made almost everything out of that book, but never have any problems with the frosting, the only thing i can figure is that you used too much liquid..

I'm so excited! I just ordered this one from Amazon!!! (Together with Isa's cookie one and 'The Joy of vegan baking')
Let the pounds come in once I start baking again! LOL

I've had VCTOTW for about a year or two (I bought it with a one of those book shop loyalty cards where when you get a certain amount of stamps you get a €10 discount, so I got it for €2!) and I love it. I haven't made any of the really fancy recipes but the basic vanilla and chocolate cakes have been made several times, as have the buttercream icings. Once or twice I've used the peanut butter cake recipe to make Specloos cakes (Specloos is a similar texture to peanut butter)!

I used the basic vanilla cake recipe from VCTOTW to make a base for home-made jaffa cakes. Its a book of almost infinate uses! :D

I made the chocolate stout cupcakes from this cookbook. I made them for all my pals with rave reviews. The topping was amazeballs.

Today I made the peanut butter cakes from this book as Specloos muffins. For this recipe adaptation I use Specloos spread instead of peanut butter, halve the amount of sugar and leave out the molasses as Specloos is already sweetened. :)
