Vegan Cupcakes: Fun Treats That Make My Kids Stay Calm and Quiet! So I Can Do Something (Usually Clean) For Five Minutes. Sometimes *TEN* Minutes!

This is a neat book! Both of my kids have a constant sweet tooth and I've been in search of some easy recipes I can make quickly that I won't feel too guilty feeding them. Or myself.
Because Mama's got a sweet tooth, too. Naturally. ; )
I love that this book starts with a general how to/introduction of vegan baking and graduates into stages from there: basic, classic and fancy.
And I mean these cupcakes get fancy. I'm sticking with the basics, myself, but you might like trying one of these gourmet styles:
Apricot-Glazed Almond Cupcakes
Dulce Sin Leche Cupcakes
Lemon Macadamia Cupcakes with Buttercream
Orange Pudding Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
Chai Latte Cupcakes
Pistachio Rosewater Cupcakes (huh?! I haven't the slightest)
Each recipe can be tailored to fit diabetic and allergin needs. Pretty cool book, if I say so myself. Also: there is a version called Vegan Cookies Take Over the World.
But wait...I HAVEN'T MENTIONED THE TOPPINGS SECTION YET!
Tbe Frostin's and Fillin's chapter covers ways to top each cupcake. And of course, you can mix and match till your heart and tummy are content. Yummy.
You can find the book here for about $10.
(No, I'm not making money on the amazon link, so click away. LoL.)

Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting lowwwww
According to all sources, the street's the place to go

For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
(I know, I know. It seemed fitting, to me, anyway)

It sounds interesting. (Although I am still a big fan of eggs and milk). How does one make frosting without dairy products?
That book looks fabulous! I'm not necessarily concerned whether the recipes are vegan or not, but I love me a good cupcake. Especially one that has about 4 inches of frosting.
LOVE the new site.... and I am still in awe of your veganess.
