For the shower, I wanted to bring treats – it’s simply my nature. My mom used to bring cupcakes in a cone to my school class for my birthday. You’d think that alone would’ve made me the coolest kid in school, but when you factor in my mushroom cut, painfully shy demeanor and 6 crooked teeth all fighting for front row spots, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. That’s OK, things took an upswing in middle school. Who needs third grade popularity anyway? These cupcakes feature two whole peaches, plenty of vegan baked goodness, cake cones and honey buttercream. Quite the rag-tag team if you ask me. Peaches and honey are simply meant to be together, like peanut butter and basil, wine and sitcoms, and Saturdays and sleeping in. You can imagine a cupcake + buttercream marriage is even more dreamy than the pair in its natural state. Trust, I know my sugary treats. My cupcakes had a superb showing at the shower. Three down in the first 10 minutes and the rest not long after. I heard lots of moaning, plenty of “what is this?!” and several “ugh, sooo gooooods.” You know that’s a good sign. While I can’t guarantee these will make you popular among your former third grade peers, they will make you some new friends now, even if they’re just using you for your sweet, delectable honey buttercream frosting.
