Finally, The Vegan French Toast Cupcakes....

I got this recipe from http://bakeanddestroy.net/2007/11/vegan-french-toast-cupcakes/ 

I have wanted to try this for quite some time, and was finally able to get the courage to do it. The recipe would have been great the way she had it but I again added my own tweeks. (even an extra layer of yumm) If you wanted the original recipe to follow, the link is there.

Heres the Recipe W/ my tweeks....

These cupcakes were a huge hit among my Two girls, Natasha 3 and Eleanor 15 months, My wonderful neice Eliza 19 months, Cousin Cassandra 18, Celia 25, and I (24)...and needless to say they were YUMMY...the tweeks I made gave a little more of a maple flavor and the house smell of french toast and maple syrup, a few of my morning favorites. YUmm Yumm...

My husband is serveing in afghanistan as a marine and the deal was for me to learn to cook his moms special dinners, well i've learned only one out of the many he loves, and have decided to fill my kitchen with cupcakes and sweet aromas. Don't know what I'm going to do when he gets home...but i do know hes going to eat some great cupcakes. Enjoy.
