Red Velvet Vegan Hello Kitty Cupcakes

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 06:08:10 GMT

Today I made the most delicious cupcakes! It was my first time making vegan cupcakes and also my first time to make or eat a red velvet cake! The verdict is that I love red velvet & i think i may favor vegan cake even better than regular. It was surprisingly amazing!!

ps: i didn't use vegan icing- i got lazy! But there are some wonderful recipes online!

Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes
Adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
Makes about 22 cupcakes

Update: Because some commenters are concerned about the vegan-ness of red dye, let me clarify: some, but not all red food coloring is made from insects. Cochineal/Carmine is made from beetles (sometimes labeled E120). Red #40 is derived from coal. If you’re concerned about ingredients in red dye being vegan or not, just read the label.

Cake
2 cups soy milk
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 ounces red food coloring
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add vinegar to soy milk, and set aside to curdle.
Sift flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Add vegetable oil, food coloring, and vanilla extract to the curdled soy milk, and mix.
Pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix.
Fill cupcake liners ¾ full.
Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20 minutes or until done.

Behind the Scenes!

A month or so ago I had the honor of being the makeup & hair artist for Atlantic Recording Artists Skillet's new album shoot.

It was so much fun! I just love these guys to pieces. They are genuine people with amazing hearts.

I included some behind the scenes pics and also a video! (I'm about 3/4ths of the way in)

Atlanta Roadtrip...

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:35:49 GMT

Yesterday I was in Atlanta! It was a very eventful day. So many wonderful things are starting to happen in my life, I can't wait to be able to share them with you. :)

One of my best friends miss Allister Ann went with me and we had so much fun exploring the city in our free time! Pics below taken by Allister!

This is my new favorite song in the evenings:

love is the symphony- come sing some with me...

Life has been a very busy journey of all sorts these past few months. Lots of confusion, lots of being too busy to have time to think & then... lots of going back to the basics of who i am and deciding what pieces of that person i want to be. It's been a beautiful season of "resetting" and so much has happened over such a short period of time, I wouldn't even know where to start to explain it to you. And you know what? It doesn't even matter. What matters is, i am finally comfortable and happy with who i am becoming & my life. I don't find myself in need anymore, except for the need to grow & learn. There are so many things I am still doubting - but I am finding the true beauty of doubt as well. Something I never allowed myself to do before now. :)

“That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.” -Richard Bach
