Missing Iron Cupcake or just in need of a warm hug that is a room full of cupcakes? Then look no further! This Sunday (31st October) Cupcake Camp is pitching itself up in Camden for a fundraising event.  (more…)

8th October 2010

It’s been a busy old week for me, even with work a bit crazy I managed to drop off a few batches of cupcakes for the private viewing of Neil Young’s ‘You, Like Me’ photo exhibition. (more…)

3rd July 2010

Today was vegan tea party day! I have to say I am a little obsessed with tea parties/afternoon tea, so now that we finally have space to have one it didn’t take me long to find the opportunity. And what better occasion than a birthday? (more…)

8th May 2010

With baking and making all Baby’s food from scratch, I pretty much spend all weekend cooking. So a typical Saturday for me involves replenshing Baby’s food supplies for the following week. I make big batches of whatever I decide is on the menu, then transfer to ice cube trays to freeze so it can be easily portioned for meal times.

Today I tried making humous which I have been meaing to do for a looong time. I used a can of mixed beans, olive oil, some tahini, garlic and a squeeze of lemon. He had this for lunch on some mini ciabatta bites, I love watching him feed himself finger food, he makes sure he gets all his fingers in his mouth too! (more…)

When we helped The Vegan Mentor with her vegan bake sale stall in Hampstead around this time last year I remember how nervous we were about being on a stall. In fact I actually did what I could to not have to stand behind the stall and serve people. Should you come across me now at a vegan festival I am very likely to be calling out like I’m on the market in Albert Square – ‘git your cupcake and muffins ere!’ (more…)

2nd March 2010

As the date for the IC challenge draws closer I am filled with optimism and hope that some kind souls will provide me with lots of vegan cupcakes. (more…)

23rd February 2010

It’s been a while since I tried out some new flavours, but we saw the upcoming festival in Brighton as a good excuse to broaden our flavour horizons. (more…)

9th February 2010

Last week I signed up to Cake A Difference to make cupcakes to raise money for Bliss a charity that raises money for special care babies. So today I brought in 48 chocolate cupcakes as part of a covert vegan operation. (more…)

One of the good things about working with another vegan is we get to make each other lunch. No one else at home is vegan so while sometimes they will share a meal with me, it always feels more gratifying when you know it’s for someone who will really appreciate some vegan home cooking. (more…)

15th January 2009

No cupcake is complete without some sprinkles but unfortunately it is just another item that us vegans must be weary of. Fancy your cupcake with a side of crushed beetle, or better still their secretion? How about some cow or a touch of pig? No, not tempted? (more…)

14th December 2009

Yes it’s been a while since Animal Aid but we finally have broadband again (I think we lasted all of a week without it!), and unlike the London Vegan Festival I made a point of walking round and taking some photos of the fayre. (more…)

19th November 2009

Yesterday we definitely got the message that Christmas is on the way. Cabbages and Frocks had a mid week market as part of the Marylebone Christmas Festival and turning on of the Christmas lights. (more…)

8th November 2009

In my pre vegan days muffins were my baked good of choice, it wasn’t till I got married that my obsession with cupcakes began. I didn’t want a traditional cake and so I set about finding the perfect wedding cupcakes. Now this was 3 years ago, and the choice of cupcake bakery was not quite so huge as it is now. (more…)

1st November 2009

Juts a quick blog to show a few photos from yesterdays vegan cake stall. (more…)

20th October 2009

Our next market day is the 31st of October, so planning ahead we have decided to get in the ’spirit’ (sorry!) of it all and have a Halloween themed stall. (more…)

18th October 2009

Friday I was far too busy to write a Vegan Mofo blog since I was instead baking for 13 hours! It was all in aid of our new venture at the Cabbages & Frocks market in Marylebone. (more…)

6th October 2009

Another month, another challenge and this time it was booze! I considered doing sake, plum wine and even beer but eventually decided to soak some plums in vodka after being inspired by this recipe by The Gluttonous Vegan. (more…)

14th September 2009

Hurrah! The week I have been waiting for has finally arrived. As you will have gathered by now I do have a little bit of a thing for cupcakes, I’m not quite sure what I was expecting to happen this week, perhaps I thought every London cupcakery would have a vast selection of vegan cupcakes on offer?  Hmm maybe not, but if the mountain won’t come to Mohammed I guess he will have to get in the kitchen and start baking! (more…)

7th September 2009

Yesterday was the London Vegan Festival, we have been counting down to this event for, what has seemed at times like a life time! (more…)

3rd September 2009

On our last jaunt to the East End Sasha discovered some flyers for a clothing swap. Neither of us had been to one before but I first came across them whilst researching our clothing section and had been very intrigued. (more…)
