Shipping Cupcakes?

Weee, first post on my new blog! And this post is about two fabulous things: Vegan cupcakes, and sharing. ^-^

I shipped cupcakes for the first time this week. This is how they looked when I packed them:

They travelled 40 miles (short trip on the first try) in one day, and arrived "utterly squelched and wonderfully tasty."
Yay! x)

Now I just have to work on the "squelched" part. Mailing a cupcake is no easy task. It seems no one has yet perfected a method, but I love this blogger's experiments...

The recipe I used is my ultimate favorite: "Fauxstess Cupcakes" from Vegan with a Vengance. I just make the cupcake, not all of the extra fillings and frostings and whatnots.

I didn't get a photo this time before they were packed, but my cupcakes often look like this:
(only this time, I made mint, lemon, and Nutella frosting. Yummm)
