It's a new year, and I'm ready to get my blogging butt back into
gear. And what better way to get myself motivated than with a
tasty process and outcome?! Starting tomorrow, I am planning
to bake a batch of cupcakes for 31 consecutive days. A dear
friend is organizing a Fun-A-Day (http://artclash.com/) in Philly,
where participants are asked to make one piece of art each day
for a month and then show our projects at the Fun-A-Day exhibit.
I've been thinking about what to do for a while now, and I
couldn't quite come up with a satisfactory project until yesterday.
During a long, leisurely stroll through the city on a self-
proclaimed work holiday (aka Mondays I don‘t feel like getting
out of bed) I found myself perusing the cookbook section at
Wooden Shoe Books. There was a tiny book with an orange spine
tucked between the normal sized cookbooks which caught my eye.
I pulled it out of the shelf, and to my delight, it was Vegan
Cupcakes Take Over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and
Terry Romero. They're the authors of some of my favorite vegan
cookbooks, so I know it's going to be excellent.
Later that night, I took my new cookbook to my friend Sammy's
house to ooh and ahh over the pictures in company. After seeing
the excitement on my face as I thumbed through the pages, she
suggested I bake 31 cupcakes for Fun-A-Day. I considered this for
a second and then discarded the idea. I thought it was a little
Julie/Julia and surely I could come up with something more
original! But it turns out I can't, and I'm actually really excited to
start my adventures in daily vegan decadence!
excellent!
