I'm over here wishing you a speedy recovery!
While all the cupcakes are gorgeous, some are downright intriguing! Amaretto cream cheese cupcakes with fresh grated cinnamon and toasted almonds?! Blueberry chocolate mousse cupcakes! Chocolate strawberry cupcake with vincotto ganache!
Also, I need a nutmeg grinder!

Ahh all of these cupcakes look too delicious to handle! I was eyeing that taza chocolate in the store the other day, and now I'm regretting not buying any

Thanks, pb and jess!

Erin, oh I know it must look bad, but really I didn't eat them all. Or at least not all at once. These are cupcakes I'd been making as test batches for the cafe I've been baking for. Experimentation is delicious!

thanks for all the encouragement and advice. my hand is healing nicely though still uncomfortable. i got my first look at it today post-surgery and it's pretty gross! can't wait until i'm all healed and kitchen enabled once again. building up quite lot of ideas i'm itching to try...

for those who asked about a cookbook and recipes--i am working on one though it's likely going to be a broader dessert book than a cake book. maybe next time! i'm testing and playing and writing now, trying to find more focus in the broad collection i've been building. any ideas or requests are welcome.

for karma folks, i'm sorry! i miss baking for you! share in these virtual cupcakes with me.

to my dad--sorry to out your nutmeg allergy! i owe you black walnut cupcakes to make it up. i'm steeping some toasted black walnuts now to make a liqueur for us. should be ready in a month or so!

2009-04-28T11:42:32.683-05:00

You are simply amazing. Between chocolates and cupcakes, holy cow. Even your writing says book all over it. Are you planning on publishing any of your recipes or ideas? Or do you just blog to inspire?

Feel better!

Hi Emilie,
These are just SO impressive! WOW!
Did you invent all these recipes or are they from books? If they are yours, PLEASE write a book! Your blog is just amazing.

Em - How could you push me out of the spice closet??? Making my shameful nutmeg affliction bare naked to the world...
Those other 20 little puppies would be short-lived in my presence, however. I am particularly interested in the black walnut/bourbon one as we still have a bag of the WV shelled nuts in the freezer - I could bring them for a visit?.
Beautiful post as always.
Love Dad

2009-04-24T18:02:59.380-05:00

I believe a Conscious Kitchen Cupcake Cookbook is in order...I'd happily buy a cookbook full of these luscious recipes!

I hope you're healing and recovering well!

2009-04-24T15:53:19.838-05:00

These are so gorgeous and look so amazing, I think I need to go to Karma soon and have a little taste. :)

And I can't wait until I can buy one of your cookbooks for everyone I know, so people can stop asking me what I eat and how I can possibly survive as a vegan.

2009-04-24T15:28:03.434-05:00

Your ideas are elegant and inspiring---taking 'ordinary' foods to a new level! Any chance of sharing those recipes from start to finish? (or am I missing where to find the link on your site?)

I never thought I would get this excited about 'cupcakes'!!! (am not much of a cake-eater to begin with!)

Beware of submerging your ands/wrists in cold water ---it can be a bit uncomfortable for quite some time even after the healing process.

2009-04-24T14:28:24.858-05:00

hi Amey, thanks so much for the good wishes! I actually had the surgery and am doing pretty well. I've had lots of good stuff to eat while healing--we made tons of food and froze it so that I can still eat homecooked food while I can't home cook my own food. Ah, white chocolate...

Thank you so much, Christi, you make my day!

2009-04-24T14:23:49.859-05:00

everytime i receive your mail and the gorgeous photos with the mouthwatering, tonguewagging, mind boggling descriptions, i ask....when oh when is the book coming out? until i can make it to the best vegan gourmet cupcake corner of the usa, i will have to dream and taste through my eyes. thank you thank you for this journey into your sensuous, heartful world of food for healing. sending lots of blessings for your good health and cupcakes.

2009-04-24T11:05:08.863-05:00

oh emilie!
Amazing!!! First though, I'm so sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel pain and impending surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and lots of goodies to eat while you're on the the mend.

Secondly, these cupcakes are totally freaking amazing!!!! I want them all! the flavors, the decor, the photos... I really like the idea of using pulverized freeze-dried fruit. Very smart. Also, *dreamy sigh*, white chocolate! Oh how I loved that stuff.

xo!

thanks for all the cupcake love and healing wishes everyone!

nora, i don't have the fanciest camera, so it might not be what you're looking for, but i do really like it and it's a reasonable price. i use a canon rebel xsi, mostly with a 60mm lens.

hey kittenbutt (lol @name, i call my cat that when she's being funny). here are my notes for the taza cupcake: for a dozen: 40g taza (one disc), melt and reserve, incorporate in mixed batter. 2 tablespoons cornmeal, 1 teaspoon vietnamese cinnamon, pinch cayenne. frost with whipped ganache, crushed cacao or nibs and chocolate.

amanda, i'm so excited you're going to be in class! i think it's going to be really fun and what a treat to have you there. let's definitely plan a hang out too. i've never heard of ganglion cyst, but the name alone strikes fear. hope it's improved. i'm really hopeful about this surgery--most people have a complete reduction of their symptoms afterwards. i can hardly imagine not having the pain anymore, but it actually already seems to have made a difference. so that's exciting too.

bazu, love to you too. hurry home and make something delicious!

Forgot to mention that I do hope you carpel tunnel improves. I had some ergonomic problems as well a year or two ago (ganglion cyst) and it really sucks to limit the use of your hands!!

2009-04-24T09:22:24.155-05:00

ok, first of all, I love you. second of all, this is an epic post. I'm so glad I'll be going home today, because I miss my kitchen and I see some cupcakes in my future.
