veganmadre Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Crafty me! Not to overshadow my sewing project but since buying the "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World"...Eva and I made "marble" cupcakes this week and I topped them with vegan fluffy buttercream frosting. Oh my...The pictures speak for themselves! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c240/veganmadre/DSC00008.jpg Edited December 30, 2006 by veganmadre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 OMG! I got this book for Xmas and am eager to try a few recipes!

Making the Ganache frosting:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1253.jpg Its not as easy as it would seem:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1255.jpg Putting the icing on the cake - literally:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1257.jpg So lucious!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1263.jpg Putting them to the test:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1275.jpg They DO make people happy! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1276.jpg Daywalker really likes his new cookbook and will try more soon!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/XmasEdinburgh/DSCF1267.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Great photos guys - though shame on you for hijacking Madres thread!

Daywalker Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Great photos guys - though shame on you for hijacking Madres thread! Hey, it's not a hijack!It's a compliment - plus it adds to the thread and community (those of you who know me would know that I really don't like cake on the whole!).Jaja, i think you like cupcakes with a hole - i.e., doughnuts I want to add that Crystal did as much work if not more in the making of the cupcakes, she's only not in the pics because she took them (obviously). The cakes turned out better than i expected. Not too sweet, and even though we used 100% whole wheat flour, they are extremely fluffy! The chocolate ganache is stunning, too.They taste like small bites of heaven Odi: I had less than Crystal! It's hard, but i managed to only eat 2! Here is how i did it:- I ate till i was full before approaching the cupcakes.- I convinced myself i would only eat one, no matter what.- There are 4 more people in the cult house who we have to share with, so i felt the obligation to leave some for them... d'oh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 So you had 1 and Daywalker ate 11?I think you are mistaken, the one missing before frosting was me , then I had two more AND the extra ganache, Daywalker only had two total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The latest from Veganmadre. These are the first batch of the 4 dozen she is making for our new years eve party tonight. Yum!

Odidnetne Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Well, I guess Mike beat me to posting the pictures (since, after all, they were on HIS camera), but I had a lot of fun, and it was cool to be in a house full of vegans, something new to add on to my list of experiences.

michaelhobson Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Ed even eats cupcakes by the pan full! All these raw food guys and their sugar fixes! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/michaelhobson/DSC00004-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Note to the forum members: Ed is not a raw foodist, Ed simply enjoys lots of things like fruits & raw greens, but is not a raw foodist. Second note: Cupcakes are, in fact, not raw, I watched them cooked, even though I ate them in a cooled state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormicaLinoleum Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I made some cupcakes as well! I made 3 dozen of the tiramisu cupcakes (from VCTOtW, of course) to take to a New Year's party. Some vanilla cupcakes cooling:http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c47/formicalinoleum/TiramisuCupcakes2.jpg A pan full of finished cupcakes:http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c47/formicalinoleum/TiramisuCupcakes3.jpg A single cupcake:http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c47/formicalinoleum/TiramisuCupcakes4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
