The Great Cupcake Caper of Ostara ’09 has officially commenced. Last night I began the actual baking.

These are coconut lime vegan cupcakes (on the left) and apricot almond vegan cupcakes (on the right). The coconut ones will be iced and topped with coconut later, and the almond ones will be glazed.

I’m being good, and not taste-testing, but the batter was delicious for both! My only disappointment is that the coconut ones didn’t rise as much as I’d hoped–I can’t tell if that’s because they are vegan, or because my baking powder is kind of old. Probably the baking powder.

So far, I’m right on schedule–so onward I go!
