From Java to Cupcake...

Birthday Cupcakes

A batch of birthday cupcakes for my college roomate. My friends and I decided to have fun with the frosting and dye!

In high school, my best friend's mom gave her this recipe book for her birthday. Even though neither of us were vegan, we decided to give it a try. What followed was an adventure with the most delightful yet bizarre cupcakes every. From the "traditional" Green Tea Cupcakes which required a bulk order of green tea matcha poweder to the exotic Dulce Sin Leche Cupcakes, every recipe was a challenge. We would bring these little creations to sell at bake sales. When we told people they were vegan, they would give us either a) a slightly judgemental and disgusted look or b) a curious and fascinated look. Soon, we became pretty famous amongst the students. The rest it history. Props to the authors, Ms. Moskowitz and Ms. Romero.
