My best friend is a vegan and as we are both fans of baking (especially of cake) she gifted me with this book. While I am not a vegan I have thoroughly enjoyed the contents and the plain vanilla cupcake recipe featured within has become my go-to for plain white cakes. I would recommend this for any baker, vegan or otherwise, because while the ingredients may differ from your standard recipe, they are just as yummy and in some cases even tastier!

You will NEVER miss the animal products. These are the best cupcakes, vegan or not.

I made cupcakes from this book BEFORE I was vegan, that's how good it is. It really shows how vegan baking can be so delicious and not at all difficult. In fact, I think it's easier not having to deal with messy eggshells. Plus, you can lick the batter!

I love cupcakes because of this book. My friends love me because of this book. I am not a vegan, but I think veganism sometimes gets a bad rap. Seriously, nobody ever knows or suspects these are vegan because they are so awesome. Almost every single recipe I've made has been a huge hit with every crowd.

Loved this cookbook! The recipes are AMAZING! I used this book to make my sons 1st birthday cake and cupcakes and I kid you not- everyone was RAVING about how good they were! I made a basic recipe too! No one apart from my son and I were vegan at the party, either. They were all so skeptical, until their first bite. Not a single cupcake was leftover!

I love the flavor profiles of the different cupcake recipes in this book -- it's very inspiring. The recipes are very easy to follow and put together, making this a great book to use for a potluck contribution or hostess gift. Just pick any recipe - missing an ingredient? Pick another and go!

Unfortunately - I have found some of the recipes to vary a bit in the quantities they create: some produce 12 very large cupcakes and others 12 very small cupcakes. Some icing is a LOT and some is just barely enough. Overall - the recipes do work if you use the ingredients as specified (pistachio rosewater, ftw!). The plain chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were very good, too.

I love, love, love this cookbook! They aren't the healthiest cupcakes, but they're easy and absolutely delicious. Every time I've made any of these recipes, for vegans or non-vegans, they've been a huge hit! Most people agree that they're the "best cupcakes" they've ever tasted. Yeah, cruelty-free DOES taste pretty good!
