That's so funny - I completely stumbled over them and after reading your post, I looked them up. I think Isa mentions how they might get passed up for other more glamorous cuppers. Anyway, I'm making these for sure. I can't wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-13479298046536768972007-02-06T22:17:00.000-08:002007-02-06T22:17:00.000-08:00Hi Kati!

So, I was super excited when they did!!<br /><br />Hi Jess,<br />Oh that's cool that you've also made the spinach goodies from RFD. I thought they were delicious. Musty preferred the squash ones, but he's on a squash kick these days. I thought they were all fantastic.<br /><br />Hi Brooke,<br />if there was any left, I'd be happy to share it with you!!<br /><br />:)Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-77708547473562889522007-02-06T13:54:00.000-08:002007-02-06T13:54:00.000-08:00I want that cake!

It was fun mixing so many different colors of frosting!<br /><br />Hi Tracy,<br />thanks! It's fun making vegan lowfat cupcakes for a superbowl party... ha ha! No one suspected!<br /><br />Hi Nikki,<br />thanks so much!!<br /><br />Hi Bazu,<br />Oh, I'm glad you got to come back and see the pics... there are so many of them. How neat that you have a friend who does cake decorating!! I would love to learn more about fancy decorating... but then, I'm not so into the frosting, so I guess it's a bit of a dilemna. :) <br /><br />Hi Ruthie!<br />yeah, I thought of doing Feliz Cumpleanos... but decided to stick with English. I did do the upside down exclamation mark though! You know that mexican feast was so delicious - afterwards my aunt L and I were talking about how cool it is that almost all our family celebration meals are all vegan nowadays. Right on!<br /><br />Hi MadeInAlaska!<br />Nice to hear from you! I really enjoyed your "behind the apron" post. Yeah, I was on a serious kitchen roll!! ha ha<br /><br />Hi Jen,<br />Thanks for the lentil soup condolensces I'd love a copy of that lentil soup recipe... it sounds like something I'd really like. I like those tofurky sausages. Also, I like your tips on other frosting-free cupcakes. I've been interesting in those peanut butter ones, and the cappucino ones too. Fun!<br /><br />Hi Diann,<br />If you do make those little phyllo guys (both of which I recommend), definitely go light on the oil. I sprayed (instead of brushing) and I used about half of what she recommended, and it was still too much for our taste. I think you could just use a tiny bit of oil at the end to seal it, and it'd be great.Ameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-43760050160174767762007-02-05T20:54:00.000-08:002007-02-05T20:54:00.000-08:00Ok, came back in the hopes of seeing the cake for ...Ok, came back in the hopes of seeing the cake for your aunt and WOAH! I don't regret it! I have a blouse just like that cake- you do beautiful work. I'm going to forward this image to a friend who teaches cake decorating, she'll get a kick out of it. =)bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-81780230978148204062007-02-05T19:05:00.000-08:002007-02-05T19:05:00.000-08:00My goodness, everything looks amazing!

The first time I scrolled thru I thought the b'day cake was an embroidered pillow - amazing! <br /><br />I almost made those phyllo things from RFD this weekend. They are on my "must try" list. <br /><br />Your baking decorations are beautiful, and your mexican feast is right up this Texas girl's alley!aTxVegnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949520229934543457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-69490343739780257662007-02-05T15:19:00.000-08:002007-02-05T15:19:00.000-08:00Wow, that cake rivals the mendi tart design for on...Wow, that cake rivals the mendi tart design for one of your best!! <br /><br />I also made the apricot-almond cupcakes this weekend, for the second time. We love those cupcakes. I think I have made about 10 of the cupcakes from VCTOTW so far, and all except one batch (which I made for a party, not for myself) were not of the frosting variety. I also like the peanut butter (with a choc. ganache icing), the chai (powdered sugar), and the cappuccino (silken tofu creme).<br /><br />I feel for you with the lentil soup experience. I have made some pretty dull lentil and split pea soups. Thanks to you unfortunate experience I remembered that I had made a lentil soup I really like, a modification of the lentil/rice/sausage (used Tofurkey Italian sausage)/spinach soup in the Whole Foods Market cookbook, which I made again yesterday. If you don't have that cookbook, I can send you the recipe. I also make the lentil soup in How it All Vegan during tomato season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-50657011465119285132007-02-05T15:00:00.000-08:002007-02-05T15:00:00.000-08:00goodness sakes girlfriend!

I want to see the themed cake decorations! And the superbowl cupcakes! And the recipes from the real food daily book!<br /><br />When you get cooking, you really get cooking! And, I totally have to agree with you- you can't give someone a batch of cupcakes without tasting at least one... you know, for safety... ;-)bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-63993195567034241842007-02-05T07:30:00.000-08:002007-02-05T07:30:00.000-08:00That cake is absolutely marvelous!
