Ooh that caramel cake!

Does your marshmallow buttercream actually have marshmallows in it? I was trying to figure out how to make that recently.

wooooow. Just when I thought your porn couldn't be topped, you go and top yourself. That caramel cake...

After MUCH trial and error, I've ended up having the best results just making regular buttercream and adding LorAnn Marshmallow Flavoring (verified vegan via email). I usually try to avoid artificial flavorings, but I just couldn't get a good taste AND texture otherwise, and I spent a fortune on ricemellow creme and dandies in the process :/

Wow. Those cakes! And the s'mores cupcakes are genius!

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, if you try baking dandies into your cupcakes, they will melt away into nothingness and leave dandies-sized holes in your (delicious, marshmallow-infused) cupcakes.

I would totally be gay for cake.

Those rainbow cupcakes are so fabulous. All they need are some sparkles.

I'm in cake heaven right now!

I had that problem with brownies and cookies. I have been told that as long as the marshmallow is covered with batter and not sticking out it will not explode but I have not tested this theory.

I make the VCIYCJ Rocky Roads with Dandies, and they do explode a bit. They do best if I cut them in quarters, and sort of roll them so they're sealed shut again, which is a pain.

In other news: I want that s'mores cupcake like whoa.

Mmmmmm buttery caramel cake - I must have you!

I cannot decide which one I want more: the smores cupcake or the almond joy cupcake from last week!

OH, wow! I'd love the rainbow brite cupcakes + carmely cake. Nom.

I hope the vegans in TN know how lucky they are!

Woah, those cakes!

You were lied to. I put a layer of graham cracker crust at the bottom of the cupcake, three dandies on top of that, and cake batter over that. I still had some that exploded out the top of the cupcakes, but quite a few that looked normal from the outside. They still melted into nothing and left caverns in my cupcakes. Boo.

Definitely moving to Memphis....

You are a creative genius! Everything looks SO amazing!

holy crud poopie, you are a baking goddess.


sorry that this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know if sweet and sara marshmallows do this as well?

I so wish you were near me! I'd have you bake for my wedding. Gorgeous work as always!

I wish I could make a career out of traveling the world, baking for vegans in far-flung (and not so far-flung) places! Living out of a caravan, taking my mobile kitchen to places deprived of vegan baked goods. Ah.

i want everything! especially the rainbow brite cupcakes

That all looks amazing. I actually looked in to getting the train from Chicago to Memphis to Dallas so I could eat one of your cakes, but there isn't a direct train and I'd have to backtrack to Chicago.

I'm not trying to steal your secrets*, but do you use a higher ratio of shortening to margarine (or maybe all shortening) in your frostings? The frosting on the rainbow cupcakes looks like the consistency I've been trying to get (with, admittedly, not a huge amount of experimentation) and haven't been able to figure out.

*I'm trying to steal your secrets.

i need to pick up some cupcakes right now. i can never handle your porn without rushing to the kitchen or to the store to get something similar:) but i never get the exact same thing.. love those cupcakes!
