Confession #1- I have a bit of an obsession

So I really like cupcakes...well....I LOVE cupcakes. Actually, I think my relationship with cupcakes could qualify as an obsession. Over the past two years I have developed quite the reputation for what I do...here are some pictures.

A few years ago I picked up the cookbook Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
and since then I have become quite the cupcake queen. Aside from the chocolate and cream cheese I use in my cupcakes, they are completely vegan, but based on the way they taste, you'd NEVER suspect it. Anyway...if you haven't checked out the cookbook, I suggest picking it up..it's basically the Cupcake Bible. Someone should really consider creating a religion called Cupcake-ism...I'd totally be all over that.
