Friday night I had the most awesome job of baking and giving out (free!) over 150 vegan mini cupcakes to a crafty crowd of Houstonians at the Spring Bling event. Held at Sew Crafty (my go to spot for learning all kinds of crafts), several local artists came out to show off their handmade goodies. Plus there was drop-in crafting fun for everyone! Plus appetizers, wine, candy, and vegan cupcakes, of course. 
These vanilla minis with lemony buttercream were the most blinged out of all my cupcakes. Hot pink disco dust is my new favorite thing to sprinkle on cupcakes!
The crowd favorite was definitely the green tea minis with green tea glaze and finished with a marzipan flower (a la VCTOTW).
And no cupcake tower would be complete without at least some chocolate, and these minis served double duty. Chocolate cake topped with a swirl of mocha hazelnut mousse. They may not be pretty, but damn they were good!
A shout out to all of the local crafters! You ladies inspire me.

Yum! I'm so sad I missed it, I just found out where Sew Crafty is on accident! I'm looking forward to their next event.
I dont understand the disco dust. It's nontoxic but not food? Can you eat it? Is it sugar? What?
It was definitely fun and I'm glad you like the sugar bowl/creamer. I really love it when my little creations go to the right home. =P
I'm a regular at yoga so I hope to see you there!
I'm a little hard core in love with the disco dust, not gonna lie!
You are the absolute best baker on the Earth - seriously, your cupcakes were the hit of the party!
And I'm staring at my Lisa Chow teacup set right now. Yay! We have to have a tea party and get these items back together...
These look great! And what a good idea to have mini cupcakes as samples. How long did you bake them for and at what oven setting? I only know how to do full sized ones to give as free samples. These would be much better!
Those cupcakes are sooo cute! It's funny how everything "mini" looks even more adorable...
So cool of you to give away free samples! Yay!
holy gorgeousness! what an awesome giveaway... (and i love that disco dust)!
A great display of cupcakes! I wish I had been there! Those green tea cupcakes looks really fun!
Adorable! :)
i am digging the decorations more than the cupcakes! especially the disco dust and the hazelnut mocha mousse. they look fantastic :)
Oh my god, you really are amazing!! They all look so amazing!
Cuute. I still have yet to try a green tea cupcake, and every time I see one I want to try them more and more. Whish I could have been there. =P
You are so talented! I love all of those, wish I could have sampled them :)
Where oh WHERE did you get those wrappers for the green tea cuppies? They are adorable!

Oh my God EVERYTHING looks adorable!! I LOVE the disco cupcake!! Too cute
Wow! Your green tea cuppies look just like the ones in the book. I've never braved the marzipan flowers. The disco dust is my fave though! My favorite color is glitter...seriously.
Those cupcakes WERE fantastic! It was so nice to have met you at the party. Can't wait until we plan another : )
