it has been one seriously busy week and i feel like it’s only getting busier. i just got back from fl this morning and leave for LA tomorrow. then, NYC the week after & i’m so ready to explore all things vegan food related. ok, there’s a little bit of business i have to take care of with beets & blush too but food is a main priority (always). i’ll be documenting everything on my stories, so i hope you babes follow along!

before i leave for my LA adventures, i had to leave ya with the recipe of all vegan cupcake recipes. Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes!! you would not believe they’re vegan if i didn’t tell you, it’s crazy how decadent the cupcakes are.

decadent, yes but i’m always going to use real ingredients in my recipes, so you can bet these cupcakes are waaaaay better for you than the average one!

check out the chocolate frosting, i meannnnnnnnnn WOW. truly shocked that much frosting made it onto the cupcakes because i definitely had a few spoonfuls. it’s that good.
