Excellent and easy to follow 
This tiny book packs a mighty punch with a great array of easy to follow recipes and pictures so that you can tell you are on the right track. Vegan does not mean low calorie, so be warned. I highly recommend this book be added to your shelf.
Im not even vegan & Love it!
I was disappointed when I found that my new born son had dairy and egg allergies because that meant I had to give up on my new found passion for baking. As a family we all love our cakes and desserts and I kept feeling deprived & miserable when I had to skip every time. Until I discovered vegan baking. I tried out a couple of recipes on various food blogs and found them all to be from this AWESOME book.
I have posted these ones that I found online with pictures on my own blog: [...]
I would suggest that you try them out, and if you like them, then go out and buy the book, like I did.
It's quite small and not very impressive looking, next to the heavy hard covered tomes on the bookstore shelves but don't let that fool you. Terry and Isa are pure geniuses. and there are many many recipes in this book. Yes 75! and possibilities for endless variations!I have eaten butter and egg laden cakes all my life and I LOVED the ones I easily whipped up in my own kitchen thanks to the easy recipes from this book.
I also make them into cakes rather than cupcakes.
Sure some of them call for a few ingredients that you may have to head to a specialty store to find, but most are from common ingredients you probably already have. Also they are not exactly healthy with quite a bit of sugar, margarine or oil but this book doesn't purport to be "healthy"- there are a few low fat recipes, but most are quite decadent and delicious.
"NO WAY is this vegan!!!"
I have baked my way through most of this cookbook. I've sent them out into the community for friendly get togethers, bake sales and classroom parties and they are always some of the first to go. Though I am at the point where I like to tweak them to be a little more 'me' simply following the recipes in this book is a sure fire way to produce a plethora of baked goods that aren't just "yeah, I guess it's good for something that's vegan good" but "ZOMG gimme the recipe good". Cupcakes are really coming more into style and I think it's fantastic that there are a lot of vegan in the movement as well. Plus, the majority of the recpies don't require speciality ingredients but were already hanging out in my well stocked vegan pantry. Point and case, "Of course they are vegan, they are too delicous to be anything else!"
Good, but cover was messed up 
book was in good condition but it looked like someone tried to laminate the cover with packing tape.
reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
