Not only the world but over me, too. October 24, 2008
Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World is one of the best recipe books I've ever read. Not only is it amazingly detailed and clear but it is also funny -I found myself laughing at many of the commentaries and advises Isa and Terry give.
I recently became a vegetarian and I hope I can make the conversion to a vegan lifestyle in the future as I am not yet ready to make that change.
I identify myself as a vegetarian, however, if I can make food or buy a product that supports vegan lifestyle, I will buy it or make it. I hope it is not seen from vegan's and vegetarian's point of view as a hypocrite thing to do. I feel like whatever I can do to help out both lifestyles, I will do.
This is an amazing book. The cupcakes I've made have become pretty popular between my friends and people at my University. I've also had the chance to spread the word about vegetarianism and veganism (there's people here who didn't even know what it was). I am very happy and look forward to buying more of Isa's and Terry's books.

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that Rule October 24, 2008
This book is amazing! I have made only 5 different recipes so far and all of them were fabulous!!!! Everyone Vegan and nonvegan loved them! The Lemon frosting is my favorite so far but I am excited for the coconut! WOOO GIVE ME MOREEEEE!!!! These recipes are to die for! Cupcakes are the best because you don't have to commit to a hole piece of cake.. especially mini cupcakes! The recipes are very easy to follow with ingredients that are very easy to find. Most, I am sure you will have in your average kitchen. Try this book I know you will love it!
Impress the Non-Vegans! October 20, 2008
I've had this book for a couple of years and it is, without a doubt, my favorite cookbook of all time! I've probably made 100 batches of cupcakes, and they have all been AMAZING. I mostly feed them to non-vegan people, and every single time I've given them to someone new, they have commented, "This is the best cupcake I have ever eaten." Not just the best *vegan* cupcake, mind you.... the best cupcake period!
I highly suggest the chocolate cupcakes filled with the peanut butter icing... it will change your life!
Since I got this book, I've become a Cupcake Superstar, and my reputation as a Master Cupcake Baker is known far and wide. :-) Thanks, Isa!!!
Delicious Cupcakes for Vegans and Meat-Eaters Alike! October 5, 2008

It was a chilly Sunday morning in March when my parents announced they were going to become vegans. In their hazy, half-asleep state, the morning radio show to which their alarm was set had been replaced with a talk show. That morning's guest was a doctor and very vocal vegan who insisted easy weight loss was within one's grasp if one simply went vegan. After a week of listening to my pensioner parents insist that they needed to become vegans, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up every vegan cookbook I could find: Vegan with a Vengeance and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World being the two books our small local store kept in stock.
Five weeks later and several pounds lighter, my parents gave up veganism after I had to, once again, stop them from ordering a cheese and bean burrito or honey-mustard salad dressing because they didn't actually understand what vegan meant. However, I kept the cookbooks, and have referred to them ever since whenever a work potluck or party required me to bring cupcakes.
My office is filled with people who have a variety of dietary restrictions -- many women self-diagnosed with IBS, one with so many digestive problems almost everything you can name will kill her, and one with celiac's disease. Yet, inevitably, I can find a recipe that will satisfy those with sensitive tummies and still be satisfying to those who can eat almost anything.
The Mucho Margarita cupcakes were a hit, and my concoction based on the Vanilla and Agave Nectar cupcakes with peanut buttercream frosting and chocolate ganache are ridiculously popular at home.
But it's not just the amazing results that make these light, fluffy, and oh-so-delicious recipes a hit. It's also the ease of the directions, which I don't need a culinary degree to decipher and the simple ingredients. Yes, agave nectar was hard to come by until a Wegman's opened in my area, and I still have trouble finding green tea powder, but so much of this is so simple, I was able to whip up a dozen last night within an hour, and without going to the store to buy any special ingredients. So their quick, easy, and delicious!
The best part, though, is that unless you let your secret slip, most people do not know that they are vegan!
And did I mention the taste? The texture? The perfection of these little cakes that are like gateway drugs into veganism in general? The book should come with a warning that you will experiment with more vegan cookbooks after you bite into one of these sweet treats if your only aversion in the past has been the bad texture or flavor of vegan food.
God, that's good.
A great little book for anyone who loves deliciousness! September 29, 2008

Even if you aren't vegan, do yourself a favor and give this cookbook a try! Wonderfully innovative and delicious recipies, easy to follow instructions and great ingredient suggestions make this gem of a book suitable for anyone on any budget. I made the mocha version of the chocolate cupcake and it was so freaking great I just had to rush to the computer and write a review. Seriously. Even if you have never baked anything in your life, the authors offer trouble shooting tips and explanations of ingredients for those who need a little extra help.
You won't have buyer's remorse, but you may feel a little guilty after eating a way too many cupcakes...
