Cupcakes

The hardest part for the cupcakes was searching for a non-dairy cake mix. The only Betty Crocker/Pillsbury mix we found without dairy was the Spice cake, which is not Ashley's cup of tea. So we had to dig in our pockets for Dr. Oetker's vanilla Organic cake mix from the Co-Op. All that was needed after that was Egg-replacer and margarine.
The frosting was also Dr. Oetker, and was just as expensive. And it turned out to be powdered sugar! On the package it was disguised as "organic icing sugar". BUMMER. All that was needed to whip up the frosting was soy milk.
These were okay. The best part was the strawberries.
And the cupcakes didn't stay well. The next day the frosting soaked through the cake and left juice around the base of the cupcake.
