• chai latte cupcakes
• chocolate and vanilla marble cupcakes
• lemon macadamia cupcakes 
• cappuccino cupcakes filled with espresso crème

What You Will Learn

Since it contains dairy free recipes in exclusivity, you will be able to learn how cheese, milk, and butter can be replaced. The first section of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, wittily dubbed “How to Make Kick-Ass Cupcakeskes,” includes details about the ingredients and the tools that are used while cooking these cupcakes. Everything, from flavor extracts to canola oil and rice milk is described. Even more, the authors provide tips on how to decorate the cupcakes and on troubleshooting the problems that you may encounter.

“The Recipes,” the second part of the cookbook, includes three types of recipes: basic cupcakes, classic cupcakes, and fancy cupcakes. These distinguish through their ingredients and also through the manner of presentation. The fancy cupcakes recipes, for example, are based on such ingredients as green tea, chai latte, lychee, cashew, and coconut, while the basic recipes mainly feature vanilla and chocolate. 

In the last section of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, titled “Frostin’s And Fillin’s,” you will find numerous frostings, glazes, icings, fillings, and toppings. With these, you can either fill the cupcakes to improve their taste, or decorate the cookies to make them more visually appealing.
