Not the prettiest cupcakes, but the flavor makes up for the look. Tonight I baked almost-vegan carrot mini-cupcakes with maple icing for my coworkers. They were easy to make, but not the most amazing cupcakes I've ever tasted. If you want amazing, I suggest scrapping the vegan diet and going for a real deal cupcake. The icing on these puppies is fantastic. I added a bit of butter (hence the not completely vegan cupcake) and licked the bowl clean.Once I drop off these sweet treats at work, I'm off to the Toy Fair to scope out beautiful things for the business. Do children want beautiful things? I try to remember what I wanted when I was little. I remember filling a giant moving box with all my blankets and stuffed animals and climbing inside. This past Friday night, I sat inside my front closet for a long time and had a similar feeling, a containment and a contentment.
