Everyone Friendly Party Cupcakes


about 3 weeks ago the babycakes bakery released their self titled cookbook. yes! as a baker who revels in the "alternative" side of baking and a woman who has a type 1 diabetic father that likes to ignore my repeated pleas to skip dessert; this bakery is a god sent. all of the recipes are sugar free (using agave which has such a low GI level its safe for diabetics - and good for everyone) and gluten free (which is also good for everyone). the main fat of choice is coconut oil which as we know is a "good" fat that actually helps our bodies metabolize fats better and supplies nutrients to boot.
in an attempt to support this bakery i'm not going to post the recipes online, because they really are masterpieces and you should buy the book. mom i'll email them to you ;). but i will post tantalizing pictures to whet your appetite.
the cakes pictured here are miniature versions of the vanilla cakes with chocolate frosting. i add sprinkles - which technically is against the rules since they may cause and allergy reaction considering who knows what the heck is in them. but since i don't have any allergies that i am aware of and i just couldn't resist how cute they looked with the sprinkles, it happened. don't they just transport you back to your 6th birthday party or what?
