Vegan Ingredients Everywhere Agree: Let's Get Baked!!

It's official, V Girl is now a V Goddess in the kitchen. OK, I might be getting ahead of myself with that statement but I must say my baking skills have gone from 0 to 60 faster than your daddy's m series beemer.
I recently discovered an organic vegan cake mix courtesy of Dr. Oetker (brand name, no actual doctors were involved). For my first try I used hemp milk instead of cow's milk but I found it a bit too earthy. This time around I went with vanilla soymilk (despite trying to get away from the soy) which gives a sweeter taste to these tasty treats. I have heard of many egg-replacers in my life time: applesauce, mashed bananas, silken tofu, etc. I read that 1 tablespoon ground flax seed mixed with 3 tablespoons water is equal to 1 egg. After baking 1 cobbler, 1 cake, 12 cupcakes, 12 mini brownie bites, chocolate and vanilla frosting in the last few days, I have to say I highly recommend the flax seed alternative. Not only is it heart healthy, it doesn't leave an awkward taste in my baked goods...eureka! I bought a fair sized bag of Bob's Read Mill ground flax seed at Whole Foods for less than 4 dollars and I'm pretty sure it will carry me through the semester. A pretty good deal when you consider the cost of an egg (on your wallet and your heart hehe). For butter I use Earth Balance vegan buttery spread, and for my "cream cheese" vanilla frosting it was as simple as 6 oz. toffuti cream cheese, 2 tbs vanilla extract and 3 cups of sugar blended together. The recipe called for 4 but after tasting this decadent topping I would even consider cutting it down to 2 cups of sweetness. I noticed the somewhat grainy nature of the frosting and used the left overs as a body scrub on my knees, elbows, feet, etc in the shower. It left me smelling sweet and not the least bit sticky!
Finally, for all of you non-vegan readers, you might be thinking "Only vegans would find her cupcakes delicious". Well, let me tell you!, this has not been the case, pally. All 3 cupcakes tasters were heterosexual carnivorous males and all enjoyed my cupcakes thank you very much. The same is to be said of the numerous people who enjoyed nomming on my chocolate cake earlier this week. To be clear, I'm not showing off, because my cooking skills are mediocre at best. The point is that vegan baked goods can be easy to make and fun to eat no matter your cooking skills or your taste bud preferences.
