All these cupcakes are by custom cupcake company Sweet Elites Vegan Cupcakes of Fresno, California, via their blog and Facebook page. You can contact them at SweetElites at gmail.com - I can say that once again, I am totally wowed by their inventiveness when it comes to cupcake flavors and really doing them up.
Neopolitan cupcakes with strawberry frosting
Bananas Foster cupcakes:
Since I have only eaten banana's foster on top of vanilla ice cream, I thought why not use it with cupcakes. Bananas Foster is a dessert made from bananas and vanilla ice cream, with the sauce made from butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and dark rum. I of course used margarine in place of butter to keep it vegan and added vanilla bean.The butter, sugar and bananas are cooked, and then the alcohol is added and ignited. The bananas and sauce are then served over the ice cream and in this case cupcakes!
Blueberry compote and lemon vanilla bean cupcakes
Mint chocolate cupcakes:
Mint and chocolate are just two things that when combined make something great. I began with a moist chocolate (cup)cake, and for the frosting a mint buttercream with chopped swiss dark chocolate infused with mint flavoring inside of the frosting. Then a nice ganache swirl. I also used chunks of the dark chocolate to top the cupcake along with a fresh mint leaf and peppermint.
