(vegan) Cupcakes are wonderful

I mentioned in a previous post that I am a big fan of the book Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Let me reiterate: best cookbook ever.

To be fair, I never thought I would say that. As desserts go, I've always been more of an ice-cream-cake sort of girl. In fact, I hate most frosting. The sugar content makes the roof of my mouth feel funny, and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. (What? No, you're weird.)

Oh, but this cookbook. Incredible. Until last night, I was particularly fond of the peanut-butter cupcakes and the cashew-butter cardamom cupcakes. But last night, I decided to try the basic chocolate cupcakes topped with a chocolate mousse (linked picture is from the blog of the author).

Holy crap.

This is what cupcakes are supposed to taste like. Basically, you've never had a cupcake before. Trust me.

Annnnnyway, in other news.... :)

We're finally starting to feel settled in the new place, but we don't have internet as-of-yet. I'm writing at work right now (waiting for some code to finish running) and of course I forgot the cable for my phone so I don't have any pictures to share. They will be up soon.

My last little nugget for you today involves a website I'm currently obsessed with: muxtapes. Playlists have time limits again! It's fun, so if you're as music-obsessed as I am, I recommend it. You can search for a list you might like via muxtapestumbler or you can just go straight to mine. Enjoy!
