Last time I made cupcakes I confessed to you that I don’t really like cupcakes.
It’s not that I don’t like to eat them. It’s because I’m not good at frosting them. So why make them again? Because next week’s Babycake’s recipe uses these little ditties as a base. So I had to make cupcakes this week.
It was pure torture playing with sprinkles and cute cupcake wrappers (thank you Janetha!) and eating cake. Torture, I tell you.
Oh, and because I hate frosting cupcakes, I just did my own thing. I used this chocolate sauce recipe of mine instead of the one from the cookbook. I think it worked out okay.
And if it didn’t, you can’t tell because I went wild with the sprinkles.
They were delicious. I mean…really good. I think cupcakes (especially vegan and gluten-free) are tricky sometimes because they get really dry – but these bad boys were rich and cakey and wonderful.
Which is why I’m headed out the door to school so I can take the entire batch to my old co-workers from last year. I don’t need to eat 24 cupcakes this weekend.
How about this little cupcake?
My heart melts into a big puddle when I look at this picture.

This is a post in a series I’m doing called Babycakes Friday. Each week I review a recipe out of theBabycakes Cookbook. I have no affiliation with the company, I just really like healthy, vegan treats.
They look gorgeous to me! I want one!
YuM! And she is one of the most gorgeous little babycakes every!!!!!
and by every, i mean ever.
Hah, I didn’t even notice until your correction.
That picture is beyond adorable (the one of baby A of course) =)
I can see how that could be torture and with that said, I will happily come over and take that task off your hands for you!!
Please do! Drop everything and come eat cupcakes with me.
Aww she looks just like you!
You think?! That makes me so happy…no one has ever said that before!
she’s so beautiful!!! she is just like you, the shape of her eyes and brows! compare your baby pictures to hers lol
I’m seriously so happy to hear that…she really looks IDENTICAL to my husband. Which is awesome. Except I want some claim to her, too.
Looooove Babycakes Friday because I’m always curious as to what pic you’re going to post of the little one! Plus, seeing delicious baked goods helps, too
I need a good vegan cupcake in my life, that’s for sure!!!
Wish you lived close, I would have brought you a few!
Your pictures in this post are ah-mazing! Seriously, this looks like a magazine spread.
Thank you! I’ve been reading a photography book about “staging” food and it’s so much fun to put in to practice!
i think you have the most photogenic baby. ever.
It’s scary…she already knows how to ham it up for the camera.
These look so good, and your photos are beautiful. Your babycakes is just too cute!
Those look so cute!! Just not as cute as your own little cupcake!
They sound (and look!!) ah-mazing! I wish I was one of your co-workers so I could taste test them for you.
I just showed Will baby A’s picture and he smiled
He knows a cutie pie when he sees one! I happen to like the look of the chocolate sauce on top–especially with the sprinkles.
Save one for me…i’ll be there in April!
Adrienne is just BEAUTIFUL. My 10 month old is sitting on my lap as I read your post, and he is trying to grab the picture of her on the screen. I think he’s in love. The cupcakes look great, but Baby A is stealing the show!
Those look wonderful….I definitely need one of those in my life!
Those cupcakes look great! Now I know what I missed by working through lunch.
Those cupcakes look great…and your baby girl is just the cutest! No cupcake has a chance against her : )
Oh my gosh! Adrienne is just absolutely beautiful!
So I told you how I’ve made those raspberry scones and my husband and loved them, right? Well i’ve made them 3 times already and played with the ingredients because we cannot get enough! I think it’s time I move on to a new recipe tho!
Those look fabulous, esp because of your sprinkes job, obviously.
I need to hit up WF so that i can start baking from this Babycakes cookbook too!
Baby A, you are looking so grown up! I can’t even believe it!! I just wanna squeeze that girl while I enjoy some of those tasty looking cupcakes
Those sprinkles make cupcakes sooo adorable.
I wish I had your baking talents. P.s I tagged you in the 7 link challenge lol

First off, I cannot remember how I found your blog, but I am hooked. Hooked! Your healthy eats are very inspiring, and they make me wonder why I haven’t “stepped out of the culinary box” more. I mean really? Is there a law against eating out of an almost empty nut butter jar? Certainly not, but why oh why have I never thought of it before?! So thank you for that.
Also, I am blessed enough to live in a city that has a Whole Foods. I can shop there only because I enforce a strict budget in other aspects of my life. Imagine my surprise when yesterday, after writing almond butter on my list solely from your posts, I discovered a whole space with various Justin’s almond butter? I snatched up the maple flavor and holy smokes it is delicious. Thanks for the new and inspiring ideas! I have gone back to the beginning of the blog and love watching your life grow to the point it is at now (is that creepy?).
I have a ood blog but I haven’t updated for over a year ::gasp::. You make me want to make it active again.

These look A-MAZING!!
I love the doubled-up wrapper idea. Simple, but smart!
I had to double it up because you could hardly see how cute they were after the cupcakes were baked… I needed to show those bad boys off.
