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!
