veganmadre Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Title confuse you? It's all about the intrigue! To start, make the batter as follows: 1 1/2 cups flour 1 cup dry sweetener/ vegan sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt (try this amount, can go to 1/2) 1 cup water 1/3 cup oil 1 tablespoon nice, mild tasting vinegar 1 tablespoon vanila 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients - mix well until smooth and no lumps. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7392/lbcc17cj.jpg Place plain cake cones into a muffin tin. Fill cones 1/2 way with batter. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/7386/lbcc23wy.jpg Gently place muffin tin in the preheated oven. Allow to cook about 30 minutes. Check middle with a toothpick to assure the center is cooked. Toothpick should be clean when removed from center. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3111/lbcc59zi.jpg Begin "creating" ladybugs by taking vegan "oreo" cookies and carefully removing the tops. With a small, SHARP knife, slice the tops in half. http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/623/lbcc31qj.jpg Reassemble cookies by placing the tops as shown in picture. Use colored food gel to place ladybug "spots" and eyes. A decorative icing would be more dramatic for the spots but I threw this together last minute to conteract the dumb nonvegan cake my daughter's grandmother purchased for "appearances" http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/3849/lbcc46zs.jpg Make a frosting. I always just make a buttercream frosting - substituting vegan margarine and soy milk. See my cinnamon roll thread for my frosting recipe. Tinting the frosting green would have been cool, I think. Scoop a spoonful on top of each cupcake. Use a "ladybug" to 'smoosh" the frosting down by placing it direct on top.
