Jason Anderson Cupcakes Part 2

Jason Anderson (http://jasonandersonswebsite.com/) is one sweet musician throwing some of the most energetic, intimate acoustic shows right at you-- aiming for the heart -- and the dude never misses.

I had the fine opportunity to experiment with recipes and bring them to his shows!

He recently had his LAST one-month long residency at Pete's Candy Store (http://www.petescandystore.com/home2.html), a wonderful venue in Brooklyn, where he would play a set every Tuesday at 9pm. Unfortunate for his fans, but fortunately for him- he is moving to Massachussetts to start Grad School. He will be sorely missed at Pete's!

All treats for every show were 100% vegan, organic and this time... whole wheat!


Show #1: Vegan Chocolate Fruit Tartlets

Semi-sweet chocolate shell, orange honey tofutti cream inside covered with various fruit and apricot jam.

The fruit involved: Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi & mandarin oranges.





Show #2: Vegan Pistachio Rose Water Cupcakes

Cake: Whole wheat pistachio cake made with crushed pistachio nuts, coconut milk, honey, cinnamon, ginger & cardamom!

Icing: Rosewater buttercream with a a whole pistachio on top!




FINAL SHOW #3: Pomegranate Pink Velvet Cupcakes
**Those are Jason Anderson lyrics above**

I wanted to make all natural organic red velvet cupcakes without using food coloring, so this is what I came up with...

Cake: Whole wheat pomegranate and fresh cherry cake made with coconut milk.

Icing: Tofutti cream cheese frosting.

These were supposed to look like fireworks, but ended up being pretty anyway, so whatever deal with it!

The inside! I did it! Kind of!
