Previous ResultsChallenge 26: Vegan

Well, what can be said about vegan cupcakes? Well, for starters, could anyone tell they were dairy free?? I know I couldn’t. We had 9 tasty entries which were devoured by both vegans and non-vegans alike! Some great flavour ideas, all vegan friendly. In the IronCupcake:Leeds goodie bag was a £30 Tampopo voucher, which serve some vegan friendly dishes, a cupcake recipe book and a fabulous goodie bag from Posh & Swanky

1st Place – Riley’s Mint Choc Sparkle

Riley’s cupcakes were a deliciously rich chocolate sponge with mint buttercream, chocolate ganache, a sprinkle of green glitter topped with a mint sprig. A worthy winner, I thought they were very tasty, and certainly looked wonderful.

2nd Place – Emma’s Vegan Dream
