Thank you. :) ill check it out.
My first thought was 'What the heck is a vegan cupcake?' But I am assuming it has to do with the butter or milk. I had a look at the substitutions and I think it sounds great...
Yeah. Just no dairy products
When are you going to do the cantaloupe cake? :)
I'm playing around with a recipe. :) Coming soon
nice :)
Looks delicious! I'll have to try this recipe for friends of ours who have lactose and egg allergies! (And for myself - lol)
Where do you find lime basil? Is it something you've grown yourself or have you found it in any grocery stores?
I grew it myself. I've never seen it in stores, but may try a hardware store that sells herb plant. You can use lime zest or juice instead.
Awesome! It sounds like a really good combination... I may have to go find some and add it to the herb garden. :)
It's lovely. So fragrant. I am going to try to steep it like a tea and see how it tastes.
That sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe and video!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
That's great! I love that frosting!
Thanks. The frosting was a bit tricky to film, but i think it turned out just fine. :)
My main dish on today's post was not vegetarian but my appetizer was lacto/vegetarian 🍽
These cupcakes look amazing! Love that your recipes are always so easy to follow.
Happy Wednesday to you⭐️
