    I tend to put in LOTS more icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) than the recipe says. Then I put it in a plastic syringe (specially made for icing - not a medical one! ) which I find much easier to use than a bag.

    I did a cupcake stall at a local green fair last weekend for Scottish Vegans. I made gingerbread with lemon cream cheese icing (frosting); pistachio and rosewater; cashew and cardamom; and peanut butter. They sold very well and I got an e-mail from a customer saying they were 'stunningly delicious'! I don't take the credit. That goes to our wonderful 'cupcake bible'... (DH doesn't accept that. He thinks it's my skill! )

    Once I can figure out how to post pics properly, I'll show some. The plastic syringe make lovely swirly icing patterns, which I don't use for chocolate icing, for reasons that will be obvious to anyone of a scatalogical turn of mind.....

    I just went to Tesco for canola oil but they had none Has anyone tried the recipes with sunflower oil instead? If so how were they. I've a feeling that canola oil may be the magic ingredient though.

    I use sunflower, it's fine...no problems at all.

    Isn't Canola Oil just Rapeseed Oil over here???

    ...and Penny, I know exactly what you mean about the swirly chocolate frosting

    I just googled it and your absolutely right. Wish I'd known that before and I could have got rapeseed. Normally I buy Carotino red palm and canola oil from Asda and that makes really nice cakes but I'll have a go with the sunflower oil.

    It is, and usually I find that although it's labelled 'vegetable oil', if you check the ingredients box, it's rapeseed oil. I use Sainsbury's Organic Vegetable Oil for my baking, and that says it's rapeseed oil...

    Yes, I tried the brown swirls once, looked at them and thought, 'Oh, no. I don't think so! NOT a good idea....' !!!

    Yes, I was in Tesco looking for that yesterday and couldn't find it.
    Also powdered agar...........couldn't find it either!

    See above, Sandra! Sainsbury's vegetable oil is the answer! Do you have a Sainsbury's near you? I haven't checked Tesco's veg. oil, but it's probably the same.

    Would Veggiegel (or whatever it's called) do instead of the powdered agar? A health food shop is the best bet for that.

    It's a great thing to share with your daughter, Sandra! My daughter, Jane, and I are working our way through the book and we've got a new young friend coming over next week to have a cupcake-making session. Obsessed? Moi? But... losing weight? Moi? Non!!!

    Yes, I'm really looking forward to trying out all the delicious recipes, Emma (my daughter) wants to make the first lot herself so I'll just stand back and let her get on with it!
    (I'll have to sample them of course, just to make sure they are as delicious as they look! )

    I followed the recipe exactly (usually I dont'). I used the soymilk instead of soy creamer which the recipe said you could do. Does anyone know if this could be why my frosting wasn't firm? I even added quite a bit of extra confectionaire's sugar and put it in the fridge for awhile but it didn't help.
    Did you let the shortening cool and have the vegan marg. at room temp? Sometimes if I am impatient and mix it together too quickly the icing isn't as firm as it should be.

    Kitteh,
    I used Spectrum solid shortening which is kept at room temperature (it's like the vegan version of Crisco). The recipe didn't call for any margarine (I just double checked it) ??

    Its not a good idea for me to have lots of cupcakes in the house. I've ruined my diet now. I'm not sure whether to be pleased or annoyed that my son has just polished off the last 6 cupcakes in one go!

    I ran out of canola when making cupcakes once and used peanut oil. You really couldn't tell the difference.

    I made the coconut lime cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream icing. Both were completely delicious. The coconut lime ones are probably my favorites of the ones I've tried so far.

    Oh my goodness, I love this book. I love making cupcakes and sharing them. I always add a bit more apple cider vinegar than the recipe calls for because it makes them delightfully flluffy.
    For some reason, I can never get the chocolate buttercream to work...

    Default what a shame!

    i was looking back over the july edition of waitrose food illustrated magazine yesterday & they have a page with books of the month......in the 'shelves of shame' section was vctotw!!

    the print read;

    "the litmus test for owning too many cookbooks? a vegan up cakes slot on your shelf. of course, omnivores will concede that vegans shouldn't miss out but surely 75 recipes for dairy- & egg-free fairy cakes is 74 more than is necessary? then again,'total cupcake domination' is the authors' aim. consider yourselves warned."

    yes, thats right, no end of cake recipes for everyone else but we are only allowed one basic recipe to add any variations.....

    Just emailed:

    Dear Sir/Madam

    This morning I was browsing through a friend’s back issues of Waitrose Food Illustrated magazine, and we were both appalled to see an excellent vegan cookery book relegated to the “Shelves of Shame” section for no reason other than being vegan. The writer put:

    “The litmus test for owning too many cookbooks? A vegan cupcakes slot on your shelf. Of course, omnivores will concede that vegans shouldn't miss out but surely 75 recipes for dairy- & egg-free fairy cakes is 74 more than is necessary? Then again, 'total cupcake domination' is the authors' aim. Consider yourselves warned."

    As I own a copy of the cook book in question and have personally made, eaten and very much enjoyed most of the delicious – and varied – cupcakes in it, I consider myself somewhat more qualified to comment on the book than a biased and ill-informed journalist operating from a position of complete prejudice, who has evidently never tried any of the recipes. Full marks for a snappy sound-bite. No marks whatsoever for providing a helpful review, as it was anything but.

    Having successfully offended any vegan, strict vegetarian and dairy- or lactose-intolerant readers – as well as any who try to minimise their intake of animal-based products due to the horrific conditions that exist in the modern-day livestock and dairy industries – I’d suggest that Waitrose sticks to reviewing cookery books that have actually been tried and tested rather than filling the pages of this otherwise excellent magazine with meaningless clutter.

    I’d be interested to know if Waitrose intends to do a proper review of this book in the future? The recipes are really outstanding and it seems very unfair to leave the book, and by association the authors, with this slur on their reputations simply because one journalist unfortunately didn’t know any better.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Yours sincerely,

    "Est"

    Hope you have as much fun making the cupcakes as we do Agatha........ to be fair it's my daughter TheAlterEgo who does most of the baking.
    The only thing is we seem to be eating cupcakes of one sort or another everyday now...........but that's no bad thing!

    There was a discussion on this in the first few pages, and if I've understood correctly there is Trex or Flora White available to us, both in the marg aisle of the supermarkets, but that you could also use marg for both the marg and shortening ingredients (which I think I will do).

    Can anyone confirm if I've got that right so I don't ruin mine and AliBlack's first attempts?!!

    Edit not sure about bicarb of soda but would think so?

    Yes, baking soda is bicarb here in the uk. I would advise using vegan margarine inplace of trex. I used this before (trex)but wasn't very happy with the taste. I would also suggest halving the suggested frosting quantities anyway - which I think has also been suggested before - unless you want to pile it very high and have half cake half frosting or be literaly eating frosting out of a bowl for a few days!

    I add together the quantities given for shortening and marg and use Pure for the lot.
    As far as the icing is concerned, if you're piping it on, the quantities they give are, IMO, fine (I have a VERY sweet tooth!), but if you're just spreading, half is enough. (I pipe, of course! )

    After chasing both the magazine publishers and Waitrose, I've finally received a response.

    You'll notice that Katy thinks there are "too many vegan baking books around too".

    I've forwarded this to the Vegan Society, but can't think what else to do.

    This reply has annoyed me even more, though it's pretty much what I was expecting.

    Dear Est

    Thanks for your recent letter to WFI and apologies for the delay in response. We are terribly sorry if you were offended by the Shelves of Shame in our July issue. This is a long running and popular slot in the magazine where we take a lighthearted look (not a review) at unusual books from the archives. In this case, we felt that in a market overwhelmed with cookery books of varying degrees of usefulness, some of them are not strictly necessary. This of course is a matter of opinion. If you read the article, it is no way derogatory towards vegans – in fact we go on to say “of course, omnivores will concede that vegans shouldn’t miss out.” What we are saying, and we stand by these comments, is that, in our opinion, it is not strictly necessary to dedicate an entire tome to what is essentially 75 variations on one basic cake. We would argue that a general vegan baking book, or even a general baking book, as there are far too many of those titles around too would be more useful.
    But of course, that is just our opinion – which isn’t presented as anything other than subjective. We are glad that you enjoy the book and we are really sorry if our comments caused any offence, but we have no plans to review it in the future as our reviews section is for new books only.

    Kind regards

    That is a very annoying response!
    What does she mean, 'it is not strictly necessary to dedicate an entire tome to what is essentially 75 variations on one basic cake'? Isn't that what all cake and bun recipes are whether they are vegan or not?
    I like Sandra, she keeps making me giggle. Daft little lady - Frosty

    I love this book - I ordered it into Brighton library and made some gluten free choclate cupcakes for my first vegan cake and choclate meeting! However now there are two reserves on the book so may have to buy my own!

    Exactly. And a "general baking book" would hardly be more useful for... VEGANS. My grandma would say, "She's not the brightest button in the box!"

    Anyway, the Vegan Society were fab. They replied in 2 minutes!! Katy's made me feel so arsey I'm going to write to Waitrose head office, and also email Isa and Terry in the hopes they'll complain to Waitrose too.

    On a separate note, one of the many areas my company trains in is handling customer complaints effectively (structure of response, rapport, making sure the customer feels they've had the right outcome - and of course, spelling and grammar). I'd love to offer Katy a place on one of our courses! Nothing more satisfying than getting the help to where it's most needed...

    Yeah, one of the the sentences just does not make sense! It just.... ends!
