Vegan Meets GF...Cookies, of course!

Gluten-freeers and vegans unite! 

During my summer break of posts, I have been in the laboratory, creating delicious Frankenstein GF and VEG blends of cookies, cupcakes, and tiramisu.

There are so many people out there who are both gluten-free and vegan. People who are allergic to soy, can't have dairy, can't have gluten...but love sweets, sweets they can't have. It's not just about being just vegan, or just gluten-free, and most of the time, its not by choice, but by chance, some of us just can't handle certain ingredients well. 

Today I will be introducing you to my latest healthy creation, the GF/VEG oats and dried cherry soft cookie, made with healthy coconut oil, that you can eat! 

These are available by the dozen and can be ordered by sending an email to luizascupcakes@gmail.com. 

Lemon Twist Cupcakes

These cupcakes were also some that I shared with Cheryl, the owner of a cafe in Torrence. She gave me some feedback, and said that they were very full of flavor! She had some very positive remarks about the cupcakes, and inspired me even more.
The cake and the frosting are both full of lemon flavor. The lemons themselves are flavorful Southern California lemons, so this makes for a very tasty cupcake.
Topped with a twist of lemon of course!

Gluten-free Pastries

Back in February, I baked a few different GF pastries such as scones and cookies for a cafe in Torrence, CA. The ones we both really enjoyed are featured below.
Introducing, the lavender scone, the lemon cranberry scone, and the walnut white chocolate chip cookie!

The Walnut White Chocolate (also available regular)

Green Mint Love

I think mint is one of my favorite flavors. Especially if there is any sort of chocolate involved, it has to be perfect. These cupcakes are chocolate cake mint cupcakes with a green mint pudding filling and mint frosting on top.
Here are the pics for these babies:

Triple Chocolate Zebra Cupcakes!

....so I hope these triple chocolate zebra cupcakes can mend our time apart.
I made these for my friend's 30th Black and White themed birthday party! So, they are a rich chocolate cake, with white chocolate (melted on top) then chocolate frosting, then edible zebra sugar paper! Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Cupcakes

Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow! Or happy "flying babies with hearts and arrows" day! When pink, red, and white are abundant colors everywhere, when romantic comedies are the only movies on TV, and when festive cupcakes are in full bloom! 

First off, I think Valentine's Day should be everyday, but for the sake of a somewhat holiday, here are some amazingly cute cupcakes for Valentine's Day. 

These are both Chocolate and Vanilla cupcakes varied with chocolate or vanilla frosting, topped with a candy heart! 

Below is a Valentine's Day Cupcake in a Jar! Super cute for a special someone. Easy to make as well, just fill up 1/2 way with batter, top with frosting, then decorate as desired. :) 

Vegan Coconut Cake Balls

Cute, fluffy, and super tasty- these are perfect if you're bored with cake and want to try something new!
These have a dash of cinnamon and coconut shreds throughout and toasted coconut on top. The frosting is a coconut-based vegan frosting. Here are some pictures!
