Call a professional. We're officially addicted to cupcakes. Baking cupcakes. Eating cupcakes. Decorating cupcakes. Photographing cupcakes. Everything to do with cupcakes.
I don't think we can fully explain why it is that we love cupcakes so much right now but they are kind of all we want to bake whenever we sit down to pick a dessert recipe.
Now, cupcakes aren't really a healthy option but they are delicious and fun and cute. Well, these cupcakes are healthier than the usual. They're the Sexy Low-Fat Vanilla Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Yes, low fat.
Hold your horses, the frosting isn't low fat. We haven't found a way to make a yummy low fat frosting yet but you could always just whip some coconut cream for a frothy, delicate topper. Or, you could make the decadent Vanilla Buttercream frosting we love so dearly.
