I make a batch of cupcakes from it every couple of weeks through the summer, although I usually don't make the frosting. You definitely have to use a mixer and let it run for a loooooong time to get the buttecream type frostings fluffy enough. My favorite is the chocolate oreo (Newman-O!) variation with the orea cream frosting. Perfect even for grown up birthday parties! I LOVE that cookbook!

I had great luck with the Red Velvet and the Maple Walnut recipes. The latter was a particular hit, even with non-vegans! You absolutely MUST check out those authors' other cookbooks. They're amazing! I'm actually knitting something red now, yay PS! I’m so glad you got that cookbook! I had great luck with the Red Velvet and the Maple Walnut recipes.

How inspiring. I think this third phase of PS is my favorite thus far, but I've really enjoyed being a part of it, and I agree that it has made me look at my crafting in a new light.

I did try a little many years ago. I become frustrated easily. Its something that I haven't forgotten that I wanted to learn and look forward to it someday. I'll likely never learn on my own. Its all a bit sad. At least some arts are still alive with you folks gathering together electronically to share in all. Maybe I will, when I've the mind, soon buy a skein and try at least. I'll probably just crochet that one long braid and then be confused. Anyhow, its fun reading and seeing creations like that. Don't give it up. Wish I had learned to knit or crochet rather..

I do think the crazy dancing trails are more interesting to look at than traditional firework pictures. By the way, I always reduce the amount of sugar in a cake recipe, usually to 1/4th of whatever the recipe called for. Unfortunately, it's hard to get around that when making buttercream. I've read that you can substitute cornstarch for some of the powdered sugar, but that grosses me out too.

It must have been fun to experiment with this technique! I must get that cookbook! Though I'm more of a cookie kind of girl, so I really can't wait for the upcoming Vegan Cookies Take Over Your Cookie Jar... but still... mmm, cupcakes! Great pictures!

Having a theme helps to focus my eye on the really simple and beautiful things that surround us everyday. I also really enjoy participating in the PS community, it is great to connect with people and so inspiring to see all the ideas unfold, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Thank you for facilitating that :) Lolly, this is my first time participating in Project Spectrum and I am loving it.
