Vegan Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes


I finally made my first vegan cupcake! I dedicate it to one of my best friends who is a vegan. They're mini Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes topped with a tofutti strawberry cream cheese frosting with hints of lemon and lime zest AND tequila. Sugar rim and a lime zest garnish. Perfect summer time flavor combo ;-)

I'll admit - the taste of that tofutti cream cheese by itself, was not so good... but after you add the powdered sugar and everything else.... much better!


Tequila is vegan friendly right?!

  2. Thanks Nikki :) It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The cake part was really good, its the frosting part that I wanna work on (even though people said it tasted fine lol).

  5. Vegan cupcakes are all the rage. Cupcakes are already super-processed - why add dairy and eggs? FYI - http://www.barnivore.com/liquor tells you which liquors are veg friendly. Thanks sooo much for sharing this, @ScribeQuotes! --VeggieVal
