Vegan cupcake with cream cheese icing

Hello everyone!!!

I can't believe it's already September, and see how long I haven't updated this blog! Excuse me.

Will try to update as much as I can before my folder "waiting to be uploaded" will be too full and too late to figure out what to do with them :D


One day, I found clear baking cups at a store near by. I've never seen baking cups like these, and wasn't sure if they work or not in the oven, but the explanation on the package stated that they will be good up to 400F, so decided to give them a try.

As a result, they are pretty cool looking, and yes, the cupcakes baked pretty well.

The cupcakes I baked in the photo are vegan ones with a few Macademia nuts hidden in each of them.


Thought they will go well with my favorite less sweet cream cheese icing, so even though this icing will make the cupcakes not vegan any more, I've decided to pipe it out.

Don't they look elegant and nice?


To add a touch of sweetness, finished them up with sprinkling some pink pearls on the top. I loved this look, and so did the people who ate them at the farewell party I handed the box to my friend. Unfortunately, I had another plan already and couldn't make it to the party, but at least my cupcakes did, and succeeded to make the guests happy. Thanks everyone for the kind and happy comments!!!
