Crazy for Cupcakes!

Last week was filled with cupcakes. Starting on Tuesday at the Safe & Sound dinner at the Landmark Grille, Swirlz Cupcakes provided the dessert, Vegan German Chocolate Cupcakes. They were perfect ending to an amazing dinner! There were a few extras, so guess what my breakfast was Wednesday morning...


For Valentine's Day, I decided I was going to make Marlow's Strawberry Shortcake cupcakes. I was so excited to make these, because they looked so yummy in her pics! I had gotten a Bob's Red Mill vanilla cake mix in my Safe & Sound goodie bag, and I already had some strawberry Jell-O on hand. I never had Bob's Red Mill cake mixes before, and OMG....they are the BEST!!!! I followed the directions exactly and they turned out marvelous! Incredibly light and fluffy and super moist. Thanks, Marlow, for this awesome recipe! I definitely can't wait to make these again.


As if those weren't enough, I just had to have a heart (and a cupcake) for the nurses at Children's Memorial Hospital. Alexandra and I headed over to Swirlz on Sunday to pick up some vegan, gluten free Red Velvet cupcakes. Jealous? You should be...they were fantastic! My favorite part was definitely the frosting...yum!


Needless to say, as delicious as all of these were, I'm laying off the cupcakes for a little bit. Pass the health food, please! :)
