 The recipes may taste good but cutting down the suger could benefit the health December 28, 2008

I borrowed the book from library trying to take a look at the recipes before deciding to buy one. Looked at most of the recipes, one thing caught my eyes -- most of the recipes call for 3/4 or a full cup of suger! It's true that they don't contain dairy but such a mount of suger is not healthy even in baking.
If you already have a baking recipe book, learn to substitute unwanted ingredients (like using rice milk for milk) and cut down the overdozed ingredients like suger or fat. For example, my daughter (11 years old) recently pulled out a muffin recipe from the Betty Crocker cook book - substituted any fat or butter with olive oil, milk with rice milk, suger with honey or apple sauce, white flour with oat flour, and cut down the suggested suger (substituted with honey) amount by more than half. The result was the best muffin we have ever had - delicious and healthy!
So I won't buy this book.
I'd marry this cookbook if I could! December 17, 2008

I chose to make the Basic Chocolate Cupcakes filled with Peanut Buttercream Frosting and topped with the Rich Chocolate Ganache. They turned out perfect! The cupcakes were moist and chocolaty, the frosting was light yet full of peanut butter flavor, and the ganache was heaven in my mouth. These are much better than the fanciest cupcakes at the most expensive bakeries, and they were fun to make!
Another great vegan staple November 27, 2008

I've been a vegan since 1989 (and a vegetarian since 1984) and didn't give much thought to baking or sweets because I didn't know how to get around dairy and especially eggs in baking. Cupcakes were the last thing I ever thought I would bake. The recipes are amazing and what I love the best is that the cupcakes don't fall apart. I baked 2 dozen cupcakes recently for my niece's birthday party and people couldn't believe that they were vegan.....
Highly, highly recommended!!!!
Excellent Cupcakes!! November 26, 2008

This book is amazing! Full of humor and great tips, not to mention wonderful recipes that turn out perfect every time. I am buying a copy for many of my friends and family for Christmas this year.
How can you go wrong with cupcakes? November 19, 2008

This book is wonderful, even if you get it just to look at the pictures. I'm new to the world of vegan baking, and I bought this along with Isa's 2 other cookbooks. I like that they give you useful information along with the recipes. I've made 2 cupcakes so far, I wasnt blown away by either one, but I plan to try some of the more interesting ones in here. You do need a lot of ingredients that the average baker doesnt normally have on hand, but I'm slowly stocking up so I can take over the world with my cupcakes!
