Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World

If you haven't seen this book, it's worth looking for. It's written by the same wonderful ladies who brought you Veganomicon.
Make no mistake: these are not health food. But they are the most creative, inventive vegan cupcakes I have ever seen. A blogging friend with allergies to both eggs and dairy alerted me to this book, which even has a couple recipes for people who are also gluten intolerant. The photos are wonderful, and the writing is what you'd expect from Isa and Terry. For example, their intro to S'mores Cupcakes reads:
We may be city girls but we love us some campfires. And not just because we like to steal people's bras and hide them in trees. These cupcakes will bring out the rustic survivalist in you--the rustic survivalist that knows from scrumptious cupcakes.
Oh, yes, and did you know Isa has a vegan brunch cookbook coming out in May? I don't see Terry as co-author, though.

This is so totally already on my Amazon wishlist! I think I will have to get it soon, though I'm really liking the desserts in the book I have by them ...

I really like this book too! Though I haven't made any of the more exotic cupcakes at all, except for the mexican hot chocolate, which I don't esp recommend. But the generic ones (golden vanilla, peanut butter) come out really reliably good and are pretty much a staple in our house for celebrations.

mm this cookbook is tempting. I haven't bought it, but I've been admiring it at the bookstore for a while. I did pull a couple of her cupcake recipes off the internet and made them (cookies & cream cupcakes, and the hostess cake cupcakes) and they were awesome, but a lot of work!
