This is one of the most amazing and diverse collections of cupcakes -- vegan or non -- in the world. Isa has really outdone herself, and she's figured out amazing recipes to help mimic the texture and flavor of all those items that tend to get dry and heavy when veganized (e.g. buttercream frosting). I've found this book has been so great in providing quality dessert options for friends -- it helps accommodate for so many different "restrictive" diets (be it religious, gluten-free, vegan, vegeta...

This is without a doubt the best cookbook I own (and that's saying a lot). I bought this book when I was assigned the task of baking for my lactose-intolerant friend's birthday. I wanted to make her red velvet cake, her favorite, and needed to find a lactose-free version. I have to admit that even I, a formerly pretty die-hard vegetarian and very open-minded kind of girl, was pretty skeptical about how good vegan cupcakes would be. I expected dry, flavorless, nasty little things. Oh, how wrong I...

Vegan Cupcakes take over the World was a definitely delicious find. Let me start by saying I love cupcakes! Not just eating them, but looking at them. They are just so cute! I guess that is why I call my daughter “Cupcake” as a term of endearment.Even though I have only made two recipes from this book, I feel I can leave a confident review. Well written, easy to follow directions, extra added tips, and the healthy factor makes this a cupcake book I will return to over and over. Both recipes I ma...

How many cookbooks have a forward (hi Tegan and Sara) that speaks of a punk chef grandma? Well if it is a book by vegan cook/author Isa Chandra Moskowitz you can expect to find just that! This is not my first rodeo with Isa, but it is with her co-author Terry Hope Romero. I always read every last word in a cookbook, but only in Isa's, (and now Terry's), do I hang on every last word. I love her (their) style of writing. I seriously would love it if Isa wrote a novel… Or if she wanted to be my fri...

sweet lord...I gifted this to myself as an end of school year/ran my first 5k/I'm really awesome present. For days I stared at the lovely, glossy pictures and dreamed, knowing that soon all these cupcakes would be mine. Much like you might stare at a Picasso in a museum before you steal it. Or you might stare at someone really pretty before you kidnap them. (Kidding!) So I started off with the "Sexy Low-Fat Vanilla Cupcakes" because mama's got got some booty to work off and, besides, I was savin...

I, the sole vegan in an office full of vegan-skeptics, have become the designated office baker because of this book. The mexian hot chocolate cupcakes are amazing, as are the plain chocolate, the pumpkin chip (though the icing for those is weird) and the mint-chocolate, and the vegan buttercream is perfect. All of the recipes are fairly easy and I can manage them on just 2 square feet of counter space! You will need an electric mixer of some kind for some of the frostings (not all though), but e...

Review:A few years ago I came across this book, an entire book of vegan cupcake recipes. This intrigued me because I was interested to see how well a cupcake would turn out with no eggs or milk. Honestly, I didn't think they would be very good...they'd be too dry or dense. But I'm never one to turn down a cupcake so I bought the book and headed to the grocery store to pick up a few ingredients.For the next couple of months I baked a different kind of cupcake every week. And you know what? They a...

This book is amazing and so much fun to read. All the recipes are vegan, but don't tell the eaters; they'll never know. Everyone loves these recipes: omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. Vegans really appreciate them because most cupcakes call for animal products. Once the recipes in this book are sampled, it will be obvious that animal products are superfluous! A really enjoyable cookbook. I can't wait to make some of these with children/teens as it would make a terrific (and delicious) project!...

I generally wait to give a rating to a cookbook until I've tried a number of recipes. Yesterday, I made the chocolate mint cupcakes (page 73) and took them to a Christmas party. They were so easy and delicious I'm awarding this five stars. This darling little book has lots of great colour photos, clear instructions and a cupcake recipe for every occasion.

I don't care about my cupcakes being vegan; I care about delicious recipes. Everything I've tried so far has been great. Well-written recipes that have been simple, with correct portions and cooking times. A range of skill level and time investment represented.

This is a great little cookbook. The recipes look and sound delicious, so I had to give it five stars! I am not vegan, so I would have to buy a lot of ingredients I don’t normally have on hand. Otherwise, the book is great!

This was one of the first books that helped me on my way to becoming vegan. It showed me how easy it is to make awesome tasty treats, cruelty-free. And since cake is all that really matters to me, these recipes were a joy to try out.It has an amazingly wide variety of flavours for such a small book and I haven't yet made something from it that I didn't like!Just wonderful.Grace

Yum.

I don't usually bake how this book bakes - For example I would never use vegetable shortening for anything much less to make frosting. And I seem to never have anything I need for the cupcakes in my cupboard leading me down a slippery slope to complete cupcake failure and angst. And I am lazy and don't follow directions and don't like things that involve more than about two steps. But the Margarita Cupcakes make the entire book worth it.

This cookbook is highly recommended for anyone looking to eliminate animal products from their diet without sacrificing tasty treats. So far I've made the basic chocolate, basic vanilla, black forest and peanut butter cupcakes and they were all delicious. Just don't mix them up too much of the center falls. The author explains this in the technique section of the book but it's an error I continue to make.

OMG.I had almost forgotten what a light and fluffy cupcake is like. Obviously I've been using the wrong recipes (although a nice dense chocolate chocolate chip cupcake is good now and then).I've made 4 recipes from this book and they've all been phenomenal. My favorite cupcake so far is the Cookies-n-Cream cupcake.Holy chocolate!Not only are the recipes great, but the book is a sweet little concoction with anecdotes, fun writing, and a smart layout.You can't go wrong with this one.:::::::::::::U...

A really fun little book - so far, I have made two kinds of cupcakes, and three kinds of frosting from the book. Both cupcake recipes were delicious, and two of the three frostings were *great*. I realize that vegan baking is a exercise in creativity and there is a true art to substitution... but I couldn't help but think that there may have been some other subs for all of the soy products and the sugars in the book. I used almond and hazelnut milk in place of the soy and had very good results.

Maybe I shouldn't have told everyone that I just got this book, because I've promised about 100 people I would make them cupcakes. Many of the recipes in this book are easy, and all of them are delicious (or at least delicious-sounding... for those I haven't yet made). I really couldn't believe how moist and fluffy the cake was, and now I'm hooked!

I love everything these two authors concoct. They make vegan food taste good and feel right.

I love love love this book. I adore baking, and having (and made) both regular cupcakes, and some of these vegan ones, I have to say that these are some of the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. Chocolate stout, banana split.... the margarita cupcakes. MARGARITA CUPCAKES!!! WITH SALT!!! Sorry to yell, but if there is one thing that gets me going, its salty/sweet combos. Oh, and there's tequila in them too ;) Easily my favorite so far. I swear, since I've started eating vegan, I've had better tasti...
