we want s'more!

For my first vegan baking experiment I decided to make s'mores cupcakes.  It was a bit of a rough start.  I accidentally knocked over a tub of flour...

Emma loved it : )

I used the s'mores cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.  However, my first batch came out a little oily for my taste.  For the next batch I halved the oil and used unsweetened applesauce for the rest.  I also decreased the amount of molasses.

I topped the cupcakes with a super tasty and simple chocolate ganache recipe from The Conscious Kitchen.  This is one of my absolute favorite vegan food blogs.  

After the ganache cooled, I topped them off with a "buttercream" frosting, some graham cracker crumbs, and a little shaved chocolate.  Unfortunately they disappeared before I could take a picture of the finished product.  I will definitely be making them again soon.

 Let's just pretend this is what they looked like : )
