Bye Bye Betty


Not to point fingers, but I thought only Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines knew how to make the best cupcakes. As of today, I learned how wrong I am. These little "Lemon Gems", are 100% vegan, and 100% delicious. I know, I know, you're thinking I'm exaggerating, but I am being 100% truthful. These also are the first vegan baked goods that I've had success with. Yes, the frosting looks a little runny, and that's because- it is.. but cupcakes are always a messy treat, so a little extra drippy goo won't hurt anyone.
These little gems, from Vegan with a Vengeance, have the perfect amount of lemon-y flavor and sweetness. The are refreshing. I have already eaten 2, and don't have a tummy ache (which I can't say about my "used to be favorite" cupcakes). I cannot wait for Miles to get home, so I can show them off, and dazzle him with yet another vegan cooking success. Oh, last night he tasted the coconut-corn soup, and maple-mustard glazed potatoes and green bean dish-- I'll just say, the glazed potato dish is going down as a family favorite. He loved the soup too, but not enough to mark it down in "Kenney" history.
