I've been experimenting today, I used the basic chocolate cupcake and did these

with a fluffy peppermint frosting, half a chocolate mint thin and drizzled them with chocolate ganache:)
and had a bash at the peanut butter-cream frosting

which doesn't stand up as well piping - but sure does taste rather nice, and again some more ganache drizzled on top!:)

Yes i think she could, of course there'd be a need for a chief taster. Not sure but i think i have someone in mind.

yes they look absolutely fantastic. Mine have all looked less lovely - but I have to say that everything i've tried out of that book has been delicious - much better than non-vegan cakes tasted

It would have to be in an unpaid capacity....I'm not sure how much of a profit margin there is to be had from cupcakes:)

Well i guess it would depend on how many were eaten before sale, i think i could be quite thorough.

In which case Poison Ivy you are going to make no money whatsoever, by the time we've finished fighting over them.

Thank you for the offer AMF, I think an unbiased opinion would be very useful!:D
Kevster, behave yourself!! I will not allow fighting over them....I will bake double instead!!:p - or maybe quadruple if I'm ever going to make any money!!;)

But they would be worth fighting over... but yes i concede that cooking a much larger amount is likely to be to our mutual satisfaction.
I now have this book, and am going to try making a few soon....

I made the rosewater pistachio cupcakes...they were the most moist cupcakes I've made thus far, but they're my second to last favorite (only the low-fat vanilla I liked less). They were OK, but I ended up actually throwing the last one away because I was just tired of them--first time ever with cupcakes--even after I gave about 3 away. (The low-fat vanilla I gave about 6 away.)

I made the carrot cake cupcakes w/ cream cheese frosting last week and they were FABULOUS. They had raisins and walnuts, which I'm not always a big fan of, but they were just great. I always plan to try to get all fancy and garnish and decorate them, but I never seem to have the time or energy to do it in the end.

I made the mocha cupcakes and coffee buttercream frosting. I found that the cupcakes need a little more instant coffee and the frosting needed about half-again the amount of coffe in the recipe. Given that, they were excellent! I'm making another batch this weekend.
I think the chocolate cherry creme ones will be my next project, but the apple cider ones sound so good.
Cheers,
