Alright, this probably sounds kind of strange, but it makes sense when given the event they were being taken to. Right now me and Emily are a in group that is work-shopping a musical called Salad Days (not the one that just reopened), and a few days ago we had a potluck at our rehearsal. So since I love making cupcakes, and since the title of the show is Salad Days, I thought why not make salad-themed cupcakes!
I used the Basic Vegan Chocolate Cupcake recipe, and added 2 tsp of orange extract. When they came out and had cooled off, I cut the tops off and stuck them back on with the Fluffy Vegan Buttercream Frosting upside-down to make a flat surface and dusted them with icing sugar. Then, using more frosting, I stuck on little Belgian chocolate dessert cups that I was able to get at our local grocery store (which is saying something; we live in small-town New Brunswick). These made the bowls for the salads.
To make the salads themselves I mixed the rest of the frosting with green food colouring and piped little rosettes into the cups. I sliced some red and yellow jujubes to make the vegetables, added some green and yellow star sprinkles, and then drizzled on a strawberry syrup mixed with cornstarch as the salad dressing.
They were super tasty!!!!
Enjoy!
