Another Vegan Cupcake.


Another one from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I altered the vanilla cupcake and vanilla buttercream to make them almond flavored. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the vanilla ones never taste fully cooked despite a clean toothpick.
The buttercream was pretty good, but not what I'm used too. I'll say it was a few steps above Sam's Club or Acme. But many steps below my regular dairy-filled buttercream.
I will be honest, I've been toying with the idea of being vegan. It seems like the natural progression of things, but I just cannot tolerate these vegan items as acceptable substitutes for my kick-ass poundcake and buttercream. I just can't. Occassionally, sure. When I just want something sweet? Definitely. But for birthday cakes? No f'ing way. Sorry, vegans of the world (like anyone is reading this anyhow...) I just can't.
