True Cupcake Confessions

by IsaChandra

I have a confession to make. I am sick of cupcakes. Now, don’t go burning your VCTOWs (unless you intend to replace it and line our pockets with another 98 cents). It’s just that we spent a year baking, decorating, writing and breathing cupcakes. It was bound to happen. So it’s not that I don’t appreciate all the amazing photos and cupcake love, it’s just that I needed a break from thinking about my enemy, the cupcake. Which is why you haven’t seen an update here for awhile.

Also, we’re finishing up out next cookbook, the Veganomicon (queue thunder and smiting). And although there are two cupcakes in the book my mind has just been elsewhere. Take a look at this blueberry brownie, you’ll see my mind reflected in the blueberry.

So I’m going to use the blog to just shoot the shorts about vegan baking in general and if a cupcake sneaks it’s way in…so be it!

    {whisper}I have a confession to make: lately, the seitan o’greatness has been taking over my world, not cupcakes. {/whisper} I look forward to reading whatever you have to say about baking and cooking in general, though! And I can’t wait for the new book- squee!

    I don’t blame you, i’d probably be having nightmares about cupcakes if I were you.

    Who wouldn’t be sick of cupcakes though. I’m sick of sponge cake myself, it seems to be what EVERY god damn Swede thinks is the greatest thing ever. I’m not so hot for it.

    I’m super excited to hear whatever you say about baking/cooking/whatever! It needn’t be cupcakes for it to be awesome. :)

    I know you’re sick of cupcakes but I gotta tell you…I made the tiramisu cupcakes in your cookbook and people went nuts over them. We’re talking people eating two or three in one sitting. Mwah! I felt like a super hero.

    Gracias.

    Did I misunderstand…do you really only make 98 cents a copy? Please say it isn’t so! :(

    You know, I can’t blame you. You deserve to take a break from the most awesome lil bites to hit the world. We can all look through our books and baked the lovelies anytime we want. Now we are all in anticipation to your next lovely morsal. Can’t wait for our next adventure!

    I can’t wait for the new book!^-^
    After an entire cupcake book, I think the world of vegan baking won’t suffer from a lack of cupcake recipes.
    Rest up!
