Da Capo Press Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule

Big fan of Isa Chandra's books, and this one does not disappoint. Her recipes are very reliable and use regular common ingredients for the most part which I love and makes her recipes so accessible. Most of the time these don't "taste vegan", which is super when you bring to a potluck or similar. I love that they are true treats, just unapologetic. Delicious!

I heard about this book from a video that popped up on YouTube, about someone who challenged themselves to make vegan cupcakes for charity. At the time, I had been vegan for several years, and I was still looking for good vegan baking recipes, so I thought I'd give it a go. It has a plethora of various cupcakes, frostings, and fillings. The recipes are easy to follow and have useful tips. The book includes useful information about utensils, ingredients, and techniques, as well as metric conversion charts for those who, like me, do not use the US systems of measurements or the Fahrenheit scale of temperature. It also has a troubleshooting section.I find the basic vanilla and chocolate recopies very useful - they are easy, reliable and they are so good, even my non-vegan friends love them, and find it difficult to believe they are vegan. I was also able to use these recipes to make cakes by adjusting the baking time.This is one of my go to cookbooks, and I was so delighted with it that I got the two other books in the series, which I also highly recommend.

Cercavo delle ricette per cupcake vegani golosi, ma quelle online non mi davano i risultati desiderati. Ho comprato questo libro e sono rimasta finalmente soddisfatta! Ricette super collaudate, grande varietà, risultati garantiti. Le dosi sono espresse in tazze e cucchiai, io ho comprato i misuratori cosi' non devo fare ogni volta le equivalenze e sono più sicura del risultato.

When I bought my copy of “Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar” I got a copy of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” right along with it. I wasn’t new to baking at that time, but I was new to Veganism, and vegan baking and I thought why not cover my bases? I’ve never regretted getting either book, and Vegan Cupcakes as become my go-to “Cupcake Bible.” Now-a-days there are many great vegan baking books, many of them with chapters devoted solely to cupcakes but this book and these recipes will always be near and dear to my heart because when this book came out they were a revolution. Isa and Terry taught me through this book how to bake delicious, no-fail vegan cupcakes every time and I’ve only ever had a problem with one recipe - more on that later.As with Vegan Cookies, Vegan Cupcakes Is NOT a health food book. It’s a baking book, a cupcake book, and not a healthy cupcakes book, but a book about how to make delicious and decadent cupcakes the way we’re used to. It’s a book full of classic recipes and innovative ones. Stuff that’ll really knock the socks off even your most die-hard omnivore friends. I know, because I’ve done it. I’ve made many a cupcake from this book, and impressed all of my omnivore friends and family, never one complaint and always requests to bake them more!Like Vegan cookies this is a lovely little book with a great lay-out and beautiful photography. Not every cupcakes has a photo but the photos that do exist are beautiful and mouth-watering. Isa and Terry detail their instructions in a clear and concise way that is easy to follow. They make it easy for novice bakers and their wit and sarcasm make it fun for old-hands. Really I think there is something for everyone in this book, and even though I use a lot of different books for baking, this is one of my all-time favorites. I wouldn’t hesitate to gift it to a vegan friend or omnivore friend. I only wish I had more time - and more room in my stomach - to make every recipe, but so far I’ve made the following.Golden Vanilla Cupcakes - Loved itReally Golden Cupcakes - Loved itYour Basic Chocolate Cupcakes - Loved itChocolate Mocha Cupcakes - Loved itGerman Chocolate Cupcakes - Loved itOrange Chocolate Cupcakes - Loved itCookies’n’Creme Cupcakes - Loved itSexy Low-Fat Vanilla Cupcakes with Fresh Berries - Loved itSimple Vanilla and Agave Nectar Cupcakes - Loved itGingerbread Cupcakes with Lemony Frosting - Loved itChocolate Cherry Creme Cupcakes - Loved itMaple Cupcakes with Maple Frosting and Sugared Walnuts - Loved itPineapple Right Side Up Cupcakes - Loved itS’Mores Cupcakes - Loved itBanana Split Cupcakes - Loved itThe Elvis - Loved itToasted Coconut Cupcakes with Coffee Buttercream Frosting - Loved itApricot Glazed Almond Cupcakes - Loved itGreen Tea Cupcakes with Green Tea Glaze and Almond Flowers - Pretty goodPistachio Rosewater Cupcakes - Loved itTiramisu Cupcakes - Pretty goodApple Cider Cupcakes - Taste wise these were good ,but they never firmed up properly.
