Chocolate Frosting Recipe

We were caught off guard by how happy vegan cupcakes make people, and we still don’t 100% understand it. Our cakes were always popular, but when we introduced cupcakes a few years ago, they were really popular.

People call ahead to see what we’re making for the week, they order them as appetizers, and sometimes they’ll stop by for no other reason than to buy a single cupcake. We once served up thousands of mini-cupcakes in just a few hours at our infamous cupcake -tasting event.

We don’t know what makes people go crazy over vegan cupcakes, but we’re glad they do. And we think it has something to do with the frosting.

Enjoy this picture of a vanilla frosting while we give you a recipe for chocolate frosting. Some things don't make sense, kids.
