Of Cups and Cakes

Blog life may suggest otherwise but I swear I do things other than bake.

Chocolate cupcakes with cinnamon glaze and chocolate fudge frosting; coconut lime cupcakes with lime frosting and shaved coconut.

Vegan, naturally.

Dia de las empanadas

Hola!

This past Wednesday as you may be aware was "cinco de mayo". This holiday, much like St. Patrick's day, has become a day of drinking. Since I am not a fan of beer nor bars with 'Mc' beginning their name, I do not participate in many St. Paddy's events, however, as a Spanish major AND huge fan of latin food (and never one to turn durn tequila) thoroughly enjoy cinco de mayo.

My friend Anabell and I have been talking about making empanadas for ages and it turned out that we both had off on cinco de mayo soo we decided to make a day of it, complete with margarita cupcakes and of course, real margaritas. We also were inspired by a co-worker's completely vegan layered mexican dip and whipped one up ourselves. It consisted of refried black beans, tofutti sour cream, home-made guac by Heart City's own Hannah, and the deliciously wonderful daiya cheddar cheese.
