Vegan S'mores Cupcakes with Recipe Link

I've noticed that a lot more cupcake bakeries are offering special dietary needs type treats, the most popular ones being Vegan and Gluten-Free. After watching and recapping the first all Vegan Cupcake Wars episode I decided to start expanding my recipe repertoire and look into Vegan recipes...

The blog Pickles & Honey developed this classy looking Vegan S'more's cupcake. The main reason I was always turned off by Vegan baking was the thought of how stressed out I would be trying to find specialty ingredients. This recipe has some special ingredients but overall, the majority of the items on the list can easily be found in your pantry...definitely a plus in my book! If all Vegan recipes are as simple as this one, I think I may have overcome my Vegan baking fear! Check out the recipe here!

A s'mores cupcake I didn't love, from House of Cupcakes

I am inclined to like all things s'mores, so when I have a s'mores cupcake that I am not that smitten with, it's disappointing. Yesterday I stopped by Cupcake Wars winners House of Cupcakes, which is a cute cupcakery in Princeton, New Jersey. I got a box of six cupcakes for $11.25 (buy 5, get one free) and I'll post about the others separately, but the s'mores just didn't do much for me. The chocolate cake was crumbly and not that flavorful, the frosting was extremely, extremely sweet and didn't taste much like marshmallow or s'mores. I don't know exactly what the candies on top are, but they were crunchy and sweet and wound up being my favorite thing about this cupcake. I know for some people the idea of marshmallow anything is just too much for them, and usually I'm the one sticking up for marshmallow, but in this case, I didn't love their s'mores cupcake. The salted caramel frosting and espresso brownie cupcakes I did enjoy though. You can visit them at thehouseofcupcakes.com and also follow them @HOCPrinceton on Princeton or on Facebook (though I'm not seeing much activity on FB).

Mint chocolate Cthulhu, Zelda red velvet, Carcassonne, chess and many more game cupcakes by Geek Sweets at Game Summit 2012

Who better than Ottawa, Canada's custom dessert maker Geek Sweets to attend the Game Summit 2012 and make special cupcakes? These are just a few of Geek Sweets' special geeky cupcakes. I am not a gamer and hardly know what many of these are (I had to Google Cthulhu and Carcassonne), but I still think they're awesome and love that they were at a gaming convention.

As a chess player, that one is my favorite. And s'mores. S'mores forever; that's pretty much my favorite cupcake flavor ever so if there is ever a s'mores cupcake I spy, I will eat it. Or, in this case, blog it. The last one is an homage to Hello Kitty, and maybe doesn't exactly go with the rest visually or thematically, but is so adorable and looks like I'd love it that I couldn't pass it up. It's "a strawberry whipped cream filled, strawberry marshmallow frosted fluffy vanilla cupcake" called "The Hello Kitty." All via Geek Sweets on Facebook and on Flickr.

Sparkly s'mores cupcakes every which way by Amanda Cupcake

One of the things I'm most excited about regarding my first trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin this weekend is getting to meet blogger and baker Amanda Cupcake of Waupaca, Wisconsin, who bakes up all kinds of sparkly cupcake and cake pop treats. S'mores is one of my favorite cupcake flavors and she does them in all kinds of ways, as you can see below: extra blinged out glittery cupcakes, cupcakes in jars, cake pops (okay, a marshmallow pop), ice cream cone cupcakes! I love her spirit and that on her about section on Facebook she describes herself as "Cupcake Artist/Chemist/Bringer of Happiness."

Visit her at amandacupcake.blogspot.com and on Facebook for ordering information and I'll have a first-person report soon. All photos via Amanda Cupcake on Flickr. She can be reached at msamandacupcake at gmail.com or 920-915-3409.
