I love to bake and as much as I hate to admit it, baking is probably the thing that has held me back the most from completely making the transition to veganism. Seriously, ask any of my friends my favorite food and they'd say cupcakes (I know, I need to eat healthier. I'm working on it) Anyway, I decided to make my first furtive steps into the world of vegan baking via some delicious looking strawberry margarita cupcakes. The recipe was from Sticky Fingers, and I've heard nothing but good things about their cupcakes so it seemed like an excellent place to start.
The recipe was not so different from a traditional cupcake recipe and I think it turned out pretty well (the boys in my class seem to agree). The texture of the cupcake was great although the frosting was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, though, I consider it a successful first attempt. Enjoy some pictures of my cupcake adventure below:
