Now, the moment you (or at least I) have been waiting for...
I finally made cupcakes!!! I have been oh so busy and just never had the chance to use my new book. Yesterday my friend Lauren came over for an unofficial "birthday party" for me, and well, what is a birthday party with out cupcakes? They were so amazing and moist and perfect. Enjoy the pictures.
Tempeh over salad
I used three grain tempeh and sautéd it in a cast iron pan with a little bit of soy sauce. I put the chunks of tempeh over a green salad with lettuce, spinach, carrots and tomatoes with oil and vinegar.

Your salad and cupcakes look so good! Happy Birthday!
Your tempeh looks tempting, and so do your cuppers. I have to try that mousse topping.
I love tempeh, especially on a salad. Yum.
Those cupcakes look like a perfect birthday treat! When is your birthday?
Yum looks good!
Have a great Holidays!
Thanks for the comments. My birthday was on November 29th (as I said, it was an unoffical birthday).
Mmmmm...I love tempeh! I haven't been able to find it here in Sicily so it's been a while since I've had it! Your cupcakes look great!
Happy belated B-day! Hope you had a happy one.
Your cupcakes look great - so pretty with the mousse topping.
I just got Vegan Cupcakes take over the World (as a Christmas present to myself) - can't wait to try it out!
Kate, how is it that I'm just now stumbling onto your blog? I'm adding it to my bloglines right now so I don't lose you. :)
I bought a case of tempeh about a month ago. It was my first time making tempeh. I have made it many times since. It's definitely best marinated for a while. I had some leftover chunks and I threw them on a salad and really enjoyed it.
Ok, now for the cuppers... I am drooling over the mousse topping but I'm very hesitant to make them because I haven't had good luck using silken tofu in desserts (especially non-baked things). Can you tell me, honestly, is there any tofu taste to it or does the chocolate really overpower and cancel it out?
