Choc-Orange Cupcakes

This weekend we had two parties to attend - one for each afternoon - and so I baked up a big batch of these yummy choc-orange cupcakes.



I just used the recipe for vanilla cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and topped them with icing made with organic fair trade cocoa and orange zest. They were a hit at both parties. Several people commented on how yummy they were and were surprised to be informed that they were vegan.

Vegan Brownie Cupcakes

It was my friend Elissa's 30th birthday last week, and so I decided to bake her cupcakes. I poured over my new book for days beforehand and felt so confused about which recipe to try out first, but in the end I decided to go for "Vegan Brownie Cupcakes" - which I made with organic fair trade chocolate, cocoa and sugar and organic flour.



I must say: they were a success - dense, chocolatey and rich, mmm...

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope that you are all having a lovely Valentine's Day.

In a moment of intense 'cheesiness' I decided to bake (coconut) cupcakes for P. and take them to him at work. (He works only one block from our apartment).



The recipe is in Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World.
