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!

Egg Shell Cupcakes

I know what you're thinking..."WHOA! This can't be real! It's totally photoshopped!" But, dear Cupcakes Take The Cake readers, I can assure you it's not! Cupcake Project created this amazing tutorial on how to create these magic treats at home! Though they include a cake recipe to use for this project you can in fact use any cake you'd like! I feel like funfetti would be fun if you were using these for Easter!
