vegan strawberry lemonade cupcakes
i don’t know how the weather is in your neck of the woods, but here on the east coast everyone is stoked on the 70* and sunny day we are having - except me :(
i’ve been fighting a losing battle with a cold for a week now, so i’m the loser inside alternating between naps and watching friends on dvd with a cup of tea. since i’m not feeling up to enjoying the beautiful...

vegan coconut macaroons
while i was in seattle, my friend recommended this awesome vegan bakery called flying apron. it was in fremont, which ended up being my favorite neighborhood out there!
while i was there, i got a DELICIOUS vegan coconut macaroon! as you can tell from the picture, i scarfed most of it down before i could even think to take a picture of it - it was so good!
thus, i was inspired to mimic these...

vegan woodchuck hard cider cupcakes
one of the reasons i started baking as frequently as i do is that i need the excuse to just be home sometimes; i’m such a type a personality freak that i need something in the oven to keep me from rushing out the door to socialize or run errands every five minutes. i need nights like this - cupcakes in the oven, sitting at my awesome yellow kitchen table doing biology homework in my pajamas....

supervegan asked: Regarding the Oreo thing: Oreos produced in England are not vegan and may not be vegan in other places outside the US (as far as I know: they are vegan in the US, as you say), which may be why the asker said so. I'm not sure about imported ones and I know that Oreos aren't the only product to be vegan in one country and not vegan in another. Always find country specific information ;).
thebourgeoisiehobo asked: A lot of people get confused about oreos, and how could they not? The truth is that some countries sell non-vegan oreos. I am told that oreos sold in the UK are non-vegan because they contain whey, and I'm sure this applies to some other countries. Oreos that I have personally seen on shelves here in the West (Canada & USA) are without whey and approved by most vegans.

radicalsmut asked: I don't think oreo's are vegan. They have whey powder in them. Unless you used vegan oreo's.

vegan homemade "pop-tarts" with fresh cherry...
so i am completely obsessed with twin peaks. and if there’s one thing i love about twin peaks, it’s special agent dale cooper. i think i am in love with him. he is so dreamy. and if there’s one thing agent cooper loves, it’s cherry pie
thus, i’ve made it my mission to make a vegan-friendly dessert my boy coop would exclaim “damn fine” about! not quite...

vegan "funfetti" cupcakes: CHRISTMAS EDITION!!!!
LET IT BE KNOWN! i have a serious sprinkles fetish. sugar cookies are my favorite just because i get to use sprinkles for decorating. when i go to my favorite frozen yogurt place where i get to add my own toppings, i take the cap off the sprinkles jar and go nuts. before halloween i went into target and they had christmas stuff out already (which normally, i’m seriously opposed to) including...

vegan chocolate chip cookie bars
let it be known; i will never stray far from the nestle toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe. an accidentally brilliant lady named ruth wakefield was baking in the kitchen of the toll house inn and added semi-sweet chocolate chunks to a batch of cookies, thinking the chocolate would melt completely. needless to say it did not, and thus, the chocolate chip cookie was born. who am i to mess with...

manifesto?
i have always thoroughly enjoyed baking. and, being raised in a household where my mother baked everything from scratch, i’ve been conditioned to believe that anything out of a box or a magical powder or a tube is 100% sub-par. i will always remember the first time i baked chocolate chip cookies from scratch at my first house away from my parents, and my roommate at the time was astonished,...
