And may the luck of the Irish be with you today!
No, I'm not Irish but heck, I'm not letting that stop me from making some chocolate-stout cupcakes with whiskey frosting.
The recipe is from VCTOTW and the frosting is just basic vegan buttercream with a healthy dose of whiskey instead of soymilk......The pix are courtesy of my friend and coworker who was terribly excited at the prospect of stout and whiskey at 08:30 in the morning!
And here's another she took having eaten a cupcake!
And how do they taste? I haven't the foggiest! For the first time, I have abstained from sampling my own creations - even to the point that I recruited My Beloved to taste test the frosting last night for the right level of whiskey-ness (yeah, he has a tough life, I know!).
However, today is Day Two of Week One and breakfast is oatmeal with walnuts and raisins, oranges (2) and an apple. And I am strangely content with that!
Oh, and for today's WTF Moment, I bring you Corned Beef and Cabbage Cupcakes. Yep, these sure were worth taking a life for.....sheesh!
Anyways, Happy St. Pat's Day to all those celebrating and - even amidst the corned cow platters - stay vegan, friends!

Happy St. Patty's Day!! And mmm..whiskey buttercream...I think I'm in love!
I think these look amazing! I can't wait to try them... I think it's important to share yummy recipes like this with other vegans, so I'm glad you did! I really think you should put this up on RawPeople. http://www.rawpeople.com/?utm_source=A&utm_medium=B&utm_campaign=C
Hi Sara and Anonymous!
Yep, whiskey buttercream is def. the way to go, when it comes to 'making friends at work'! LOL
And Anonymous: I checked out RawPeople.com - awesome site! But these cupcakes are most def. not raw and certainly cannot be classed as a health food. I was excited to learn about the almond balls however....Thanks for the link and comments!
