Milwaukee Vegan Bake Sale This Weekend!

There is a vegan bake sale this weekend!  Everyone should go!  Here is the information:  http://www.milwaukeeveganbakesale.com/blog/about-the-bakesale/

Also, there is still time to volunteer to donate something, so if you are so inclined, follow the information on the site and get to it!

I made cupcakes, because...you know...I happen to have a thing for cuppies.  Since I've been a bit preoccupied with school, I didn't get a chance to get any special ingredients, so I had to work with what was already in my pantry.  Luckily, I keep some pretty good stuff stocked.  Therefore, we ended up with these:

Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Rich Chocolate Ganache Topping.  Yum.

Somehow the batter made more than my 12 cupcake liners could hold, so I scooped the rest of the batter into the mini-cuppie tray I have to bring to the coach for my oral argument for Appellate Writing and Advocacy, since she is amazing, as well as a mini-cake for my parents who are coming to visit this weekend.  The cake sank a bit in the middle, but I'm sure it still tastes good.  Here is the full batch:

However, I apparently made a mess while I was drizzling the ganache...

I guess it is a good thing I had just washed my apron the day before...oops.  I must say though, I love my apron.  I have two aprons right now, and I'm sure I'd have more if I had the space to hang them and show them off properly.  My sister got me this one last Winter Holiday, along with a great cupcake carrier and some cute little cuppie wrappers with feet.

Moral of today's post:  either bake something, go buy/eat something, or both at the Vegan Bake Sale this weekend at the Urban Ecology Center!
