Cupcakes for many TFC celebrations!!!!!

Since the topic of the week here at TFC is food, I thought it would be a good day to post about cupcakes. Why? Because we have a lot to celebrate around here! Last Monday was Lauren's birthday. Today is mine and Linda's. Saturday is Melissa's wedding. ETA: (because how could I forget) Saturday is also Sara Hantz's birthday! Alyson's Immortals series is crazy successful. I got to meet Kay at the ALA conference (dude, I think that is totally dessert worthy!) and the list goes on. I mean have you read our Good News Friday posts lately?!?

Now I personally prefer cupcakes to cake. They are the perfect dessert size and come in so many flavors. I love cupcakes so much I decided to get them instead of cake for my upcoming wedding in October. Since I'm vegan, I found this fabulous new business in my area called Vegan Bomb.

We met them at a coffee house and they brought us a bunch of samples to try:

Coconut Lime

Lemon-aide (with vodka injected into it so it tasted like a vodka lemonade!)

Cookies and Cream (with an Oreo on top!)

Mint Chocolate Chip

Peanut Butter (with peanuts on top!)

Strawberries and Cream (with a strawberry wafer on top!)

Chocolate ganache (which was just like a Ho Ho or hostess cupcake!)

Vanilla chocolate chip

They were the most beautiful cupcakes I've ever seen (even more decorative then the generic cupcake picture I found and posted above) and neither my fiance (who is not vegan *at all*) nor I could believe they were completely dairy-free. They were more moist and tasty than any cupcakes we ever had!

My mom's fave was the chocolate ganache. Scott was between the Coconut Lime and Mint Chocolate Chip. I was between Coconut Lime and Peanut Butter and Strawberries and Cream and the Chocolate Ganache. Obviously I am very indecisive. This is another reason why cupcakes instead of cake is good, especially when it comes to a wedding. We can choose a bunch of flavors and guest can pick their faves!

So today I am serving up virtual cupcakes in honor of my fellow TFCers various big days and big news! What flavor will you choose? Today for my bday I am pure chocolate ganache. Mmmmm.

Oh and if you want to come celebrate my birthday and my upcoming Ballads of Suburbia book launch with me even more, please come visit my blog today. I kicked off the Ballads of Suburbia Cyber Release Party! Many of my fellow TFC authors will be participating. But today I did my very first vlog. Actually I did two. One showing off my new tattoo and the other doing a special reading from Ballads of Suburbia! Go here to check out!

Now back to cyber noshing on cupcakes!
