Excellent book July 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Vegan or not, this book has got it goin' on. Not only is it fun to read (I've read the A to Z a few times!), the recipies are very accurate. I've had books and recipes from "celebrity" bakers, those who have even been featured on the famed Food Network, and their recipes were awful - they just don't turn out like illustrated in a regular kitchen. Now, if you'd like a recipe for 24 cupcakes that actually MAKES like ... FIFTY, then I can recommend a book from a young lady in NYC ...
But really, this book is great. The recipes are easy and simple to make, and are infused with fun and wit to boot. These have got to appeal to even the biggest carnivores and baking-haters alike! I plan on making every recipe in the book, then doing a crash South Beach Diet ...
One note: Definitely take the advice on the Golden Vanilla Cupcakes to use the margerine recipe. I would also recommend cake flour instead of regular flour. The oil recipe comes out a little denser than I'd prefer, but if you don't have margerine or cake flour, they're still vegan-ly delicious.
WOW~! July 18, 2008

I came across this book by accident and was skeptical at first. After searching around on the web, I found a recipe for vegan chocolate cupcakes from this book at Chow.com. I tried it, and was instantly hooked! If you are unsure about the recipes like I was, try the chocolate cupcake recipe first :) You won't be dissappointed!
The cupcakes were moist, delicious, and so simple to make. I believe they're almost fool proof and way better than the cupcakes I previously made from scratch the old way. Everyone that has tried this cupcake has raved about how delicious it is! Of course, these will not end up tasting like your box mix cupcakes, but they will surely be a LOT healtier for you!
I can wait to try every single recipe in this book!! I'm so happy with the results!
Enjoyable book for bakers July 2, 2008

From the organizer of the first and second annual Santa Barbara vegan bake off:
I like to try lots of different baking books--vegan and non-vegan alike.
I was sitting down tonight with my King Arthur Baker's Companion (amazing but each recipe has at least a stick of butter in it) and even leafed through How it All Vegan (their choc chip recipe is pretty good) before I remembered I had picked up this little book. The book is well written and fun to look through. Perfect for those nights when you just want to make something fun after dinner without having to prepare with a ton of ingredients in advance.
I chose a red velvet cupcake recipe and a vegan cream cheese frosting.
What can I say, my boyfriend has already eaten half the batch so I must say it was a success!
"...As good as it gets!" July 2, 2008

I am not a vegan, and am not easily excited about vegan baked goods. However I do have a best friend who is a committed vegan and who very much is excited by vegan baked goods. When I purchased this book for her as a birthday gift, she was beyond thrilled. I guess she had another vegan cookbook by this same author, and had already fallen in love with her recipes. (Who knew?)
She later made chocolate-strawberry-something cupcakes from this book, and when I tasted them, they really weren't half bad. If you didn't really think about it, you almost couldn't tell that they were vegan. If all vegan baked goods tasted like these cupcakes, maybe vegan cupcakes really could take over the world.
As she told me, "This book is as good as it gets!"
Great for Dairy and Egg Allergy June 30, 2008
My daughter has an egg and dairy allergy. It finally dawned on me to look at vegan recipes to find a way to make an edible dessert for her. These cupcakes are very easy and taste wonderful. You would never know there is no egg or dairy. I have tried the vanilla, chocolate, and peanut butter ones. The peanut butter cupcakes were the best ones I have ever had, vegan or not. I highly recommend this book.
