CUPCAKES?
Like cupcakes?They're just a bit of fun aren't they? Well they are, but they aren't all froth you know. This is a serious business! They have to be vegan and you have to get them right.
They have to pass my child's taste test.
VEGAN CUPCAKES WITH FAUX BUTTERCREAM
My son is always eager to do a spot of baking, so when I said we were going to make cupcakes together, he said he would like to make some for his daddy.
As you know by now my husband is vegan, so vegan cupcakes they had to be, but I felt they still needed buttercream, even if it had to be faux buttercream.
There's just something a bit special about maple syrup, isn't there and it brings a great flavour to these cupcakes. More maple recipes to come.

Total time: Yield: 12 cupcakes
Notes:
I didn't add the recipe for buttercream, as it is a dollop, then a sprinkle kind of a thing.
Just take a large dollop of dairy free spread, then add icing sugar, beat it in, and keep adding more until the texture is right. I added some food colouring right at the beginning, and a little splosh of soy milk at the end to loosen it up a bit for piping.
Honestly, it is dead simple. just keep beating. You don't need a recipe.
Fresh summer strawberries whizzed up with baby spinach and cucumber to make a refreshing and healthy green smoothie.
This week I had my first post published on Great British Chefs. They were looking for a post on BBQs or barbies as I like to call...
