Since it has been awhile since I ventured down the Lovely lane, I thought I would start this Monday off on a pretty note. You can't go wrong with pretty or lovely in my opinion
two of my favorite things made an appearance at this Sunday Brunch: chevron and Bloody Marys

I spy with my little eye a gorgeous interpretation of the typical dress shot
I decided to go vegan and now things like this make my heart palpitate. seriously can't handle the lack of yummy cake in my life right now. Hey, at least I can eat the blackberries on top. I'm sure they are just as delicious as that chocolaty cake

My husband is vegan and I love to bake. After a few months of experimenting and researching, I found some delicious recipes! My favorite so far is this one:

I've only made it as a 9" cake (not cupcakes) and it can be modified by decreasing the vanilla and adding different ingredients to be whatever you want (add lemon zest/juice for a lemon cake, cocoa for a chocolate cake, etc). Most recently I used it to make a pineapple upside down cake by cutting the vanilla in half and using the topping recipe here (minus the cherries):

The banana bread recipe from PPK is fantastic, I chop up a dark chocolate bar and mix it in:

Also, some flavors of Duncan Hines frosting are vegan, too! Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World is a great cookbook, btw! Hope this helps :)
