Day 3: The Simple Vanilla and Agave Nectar Cupcake

Tomorrow there's a musical shindig at my house that's been a few months in the planning process. There should be a good number of people, and I'm usually stressed about what food to prepare for big parties. But this time, I know exactly what to make: CUPCAKES!! LOTS AND LOTS OF CUPCAKES!!! And not just any kind of cupcakes. Not even just your run-of-the-mill vegan cupcakes. I'm making vegan, agave sweetened, and gluten free cupcakes! There are two guests tomorrow who have special diets, and my heart goes out to them because I know what it's like to be somewhere and not be able to eat anything. So I'm making special treats for both of them.

A friend's friend's girlfriend has an unrefined sugar-free diet, and the friend's friend (the boyfriend) is allergic to wheat gluten, so tonight I made the simple vanilla and agave nectar cupcakes, and tomorrow I'm planning on making chocolate gluten free cupcakes. I would put the two together so I wouldn't have to make two separate batches, but I've just started my baking career and I'm not that skilled yet! So to avoid disaster, I've decided to keep the two specialties separate.

Simple and unadorned...

That's a dollop of blueberry on top, not caviar, in case you were wondering.

And the one in the bottom right corner is missing...because I ate it before it's photo op.
