cupcakes Contest win Free Stuff Friday Cupcakefest
Cupcakes are one of my favorite things. They are also one of the things I was worried I would have to give up when I went vegan. If only my inexperienced vegetarian self had known that vegan cupcakes taste BETTER than regular cupcakes and are super easy to make!
For those of you that live in New Jersey or New York City (or near there) then you need to go to Cupcakefest on Saturday, June 21st. It's a day filled with vegan mini cupcakes, giveaways, and music by Junkpunch, And Then There Were Machines, Thing One, Brian Keith, and Kieran Hobler. The event is being presented by one of the most amazing vegan bakeries in Jersey: Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Plus, it's free! So if you're in the area you have no excuse not to go.
For those of you that don't live in places where vegan cupcakes are commonplace then you need to pick up this book. Maybe you can start the first ever vegan bakery in your town!
To get you inspired to eat and bake cupcakes we're giving away one dozen cupcakes of your choice (roll over the names for picture and description) from Sweet Avenue Bake Shop and a copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World to one lucky winner!
To win, comment below with the vegan cupcake flavor you want to create AND if you'll be attending Cupcakefest! Mine would be "Peppermint Stick" which would be a vanilla cupcake with peppermint frosting (and a peppermint stick coming out of the top)! And, sadly, I will be in Virginia during Cupcakefest.
This contest ends June 27, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by July 3, 2008!

hmmm... a lemon lime vegan cupcake would be awesome to create with the actual cupcake to taste something like mountain dew and the frosting to take lemony lime with little green and yellow sprinkles or slices of lemon or lime to top it off =]
and i wouldnt be able to make it to cupcakefest =[
WOW! Cupcake heaven!!! *drools*
My cupcake would be called "Double Trouble" which would have a vanilla cupcake at the bottom with a chocolate cupcake sat on top of it! The perfect cupcake for people who can't eat just one!!
I'm in the UK so it's a little bit too far to go for me to attend Cupcakefest!
p.s. If I win I know that cupcakes probably won't travel very well so I'd be happy with just the recipe book! :o)

Posted by: radioactivegan at June 13, 2008 11:36 AMI would want Mocha Madness cupcakes! My mouth is watering already! Sadly I won't be attending Cupcakefest because I live too far away to attend.
And if I got the book I would give it to my friend who loves to bake. She's not vegan and she always says she wants to make me vegan cupcakes and this would help her tremendously! Maybe this would help her become vegan. We can always hope!
I'd like to create Tropical Heaven!
Coconut cake with mango icing.....yum!!!
We are in NJ, so we are going to try to make it to Cupcake Fest!
I love chocolate cupcakes... *stomach is rumbling*
But I can't go because I live all the way in California. :(

I have a couple ideas, lemon lavender cupcake which is a lemon cupcake and lavender (like the flower) infused icing. mmm A Hazelnut cupcake light chocolate cupcake with nutella like ganache on top maybe with a couple hazelnut crunches as a garnish. or a caramel pineapple mousse cupcake. White or yellow cupcake filled with caramel topped with caramel pinapple whipped cream mousse!! so yummy!!
Posted by: Lindsay Gabbard at June 13, 2008 2:04 PMI would have strawberry shortcake cupcake.
It will have a pinkish color with a soft fluffy texture and on top will be a off-white creamish icing with red strawberry flavored dizzle on top of that and a small slice of strawberry that sits in the middle. That sounds sooo good right now. Lol.
I will be attending cupcake fest because it is 30 seconds away from my house! =]
My cupcake would be called "orange dream". It would be a very orange flavored cupcake with a vanilla/orange swirled buttercream...D-licious! Unfortunately, I am unable to attend…I live in Texas.

Posted by: sara at June 13, 2008 3:25 PMI would make a red velvet cupcake with darkchocolate, white chocolate, and milk chocolate icing. :]
I most likely can't attend but I will try to! I am going to NJ in August.
Posted by: Myhang at June 13, 2008 3:40 PM'Chocolate fire and ice'--dark chocolate vegan cake on the bottom, vanilla ice creme in the center, topped with another layer of cake, icing, and a cherry on top.

Posted by: Lindsay at June 13, 2008 3:48 PMThere are so many that would be yummy to make. I think an oatmeal cookie cupcake with vanilla icing would be delicious
Posted by: Edith at June 13, 2008 3:52 PMMy cupcake would be vanilla with a keylime frosting and a bit of sugared lime on top.
Sadly, I won't be attending Cupcakefest
Posted by: Liz at June 13, 2008 4:03 PMSomething with chocolate, and something with coffee. Hmmm...a rich chocolate cake with swirls of espresso mixed in. Then of course topped with a mocha frosting and an espresso bean on top. I would probably have to call it "Jitters" though ;)
I don't get to go, I live, oh....2400 miles away. We miss out on all the cupcake fun!
Posted by: Leigh at June 13, 2008 4:22 PMStrawberry Fields looks amazing!

Posted by: Stephanie Blaskevitch at June 13, 2008 4:29 PMDo you know how much I've been craving cupcakes lately?? Me and my friend at school are even painting a giant 5x5 foot picture of a cupcake at school for the cafeteria.
So maybe I'd like a 5 foot tall cupcake. :]
I wanna make rainbow cupcakes. For real. Like totally....rainbow. Multiple flavoured and way outta whack.
Posted by: Brittani at June 13, 2008 4:47 PMOoo, I think my vegan cupcake flavor would be strawberry cupcakes with coconut frosting. Kind of like a cupcake smoothie. Mmm.
I'm going to do my best to stop by cupcake fest. It's nearby, but I do have to work so I'll have to see if I can juggle both.
Posted by: kaitlyn at June 13, 2008 4:51 PMhmmm... I think strawberry slice cupcakes sound delicious, pink strawberry cake with uber-fluffy strawberry frosting with a huge strawberry dipped in chocolate sitting oh so pretty on top! YUM! Eat lots of cupcakes for those of us that don't live anywhere NEAR lovely cupcake fest, which would be me! :(
Posted by: amy at June 13, 2008 4:54 PMI am definitely attending cupcakefest because Sweet Avenue Bake Shop is one of the best bakeries in Rutherford :)
My creation would be Bananarama, which would be a vanilla cupcake, with a peanut butter/banana stuffing, and peanut butter frosting with a banana on top.
I'll see you all at Cupcakefest next weekend!!!
Posted by: Kimberly at June 13, 2008 4:54 PMI would love, love, love to have someone create a vegan white chocolate creme brulee cupcake complete with a thick pudding-y filling and a wonderful carmelized sugar top. and i will be stuck in chicago, so no cupcakefest for me!

Posted by: Lisa at June 13, 2008 6:13 PMOREO CUPCAKE!!!
The soft cupcake filled with chuncky pieces of oreo, plus it's vegan!!!
That would be so great! It would probably be the first cupcake that can be dipped into delicious cold soy milk....that's my prespective of a better world.
I would love to have that book, it would be great to have when baking goodie vegan treats for my friends on their birthdays.
Anyways...
with a lot of love, and many thoughts of oreo cupcakes...
Annie
I would totally make the cappuccino cakes filled with espresso creme! I love coffee and i love cupcakes... together they are bliss! And sadly no I will not be able to attend the festival because I too will be in VA that day.
Posted by: Marissa at June 13, 2008 9:23 PMMy cupcake flavor would combine salty and sweet. Chocolate cake, peanut butter filling, chocolate ganache and a pretzel on top.

Is the fest annual?
Posted by: Jade at June 14, 2008 12:17 AMI would create a chocolate fudgey cupcake with a cherry frosting, like a cherry cordial but elegant and decadent. I'm not attending Cupcakefest, sadly, due to living far away. :)

Posted by: DAVID MALONEY at June 14, 2008 12:34 PMWhen I was a kid, I sometimes bought lemon cupcakes which had creamy filling. If I could I would possibly try to recreate them without animal ingredients. (And no, I won't attend, mostly because I live thousands of kilometres away :))
Posted by: Otu at June 14, 2008 1:21 PMmine would definitively be coffee flavored :D

and i won't be able to go, i live far, far away!(:
Posted by: Briana at June 17, 2008 7:53 AMI have a couple of ideas, but one really sticks out to me. I love cheesecake and caramel, so I think a Caramel Cheesecake Cupcake would be pretty awesome. I live in Kentucky (which means no on the Cupcakefest), and we have ZERO vegan shops. I'd love the cookbook so I could make good desserts and what-not that my friends, family, and myself could enjoy!
Posted by: Kirsten at June 17, 2008 11:10 AMMy cupcake would be "The Smore". This would include chocolate cake stuffed with a marshmallow fluff filling and then topped with Graham Cracker flavored icing. The perfect summer cook-out dessert!
Posted by: Aimee at June 17, 2008 5:02 PMI'd love a blondie type brownie cupcake with walnuts and butter cream ~ and if I didn't live all the way in Miami I'd be at the festival in a heartbeat!
Posted by: at June 17, 2008 6:31 PMi haven't had a mexican pastry in years. a super creamy vegan tres leches cupcake would be heaven. interesting variations would be to add rum or coconut flakes.
another idea would be a vegan version of my grandma's "better-than-robert-redford cake." it's vanilla cake with a layer of crushed pineapple, bananas, and strawberries, covered with whipped cream then sprinkled with shaved coconut. it's light and fruity, but so sweet.
cupcakefest is the day before my birthday. i'll be there and i expect everyone to give me a birthday hug :-D
Posted by: kay_sprout at June 17, 2008 9:37 PMMy cupca
my cupcake flavour would be chocolate chip and peanut butter with banana. mmmmm.
Posted by: meagan at June 13, 2008 10:10 AMi wont be attending cupcake fest because i live in canada :(
