Gone Vegan for Amber

 Happy Friday

Let's go Vegan Today!

I have been so blessed with so many beautiful people in my life. I have an amazing family, a perfect boyfriend, & fabulous friends! Most of my ideas and inspiration come from them and today I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite people, my cousin Amber! 

Amber and I have always been very close & I am so thankful that I got to grow up with such a beautiful role model. Amber has a smile that lights up the west coast and a laugh that is so contagious! 

Amber is the definition of a strong & powerful woman. Everytime I see her, no matter what's going on, she's always got it under control! She's spent the past eight years raising the most handsome young man, staying fabulous & working hard! 

I miss my beautiful cousin everyday, but whenever we get together its like we haven't missed a beat. Today, I wanted to dedicate this yummy treat to her. Amber is a Vegan & she has always been so supportive of my blog, but I rarely have things that she can make without having to substitute. So today is just for her !

Enjoy Amber!

Once well combined, pour evenly into your cupcake pan and bake for 15-20 mins. 

While your muffins are in the oven, mix up your frosting. Allow your cream cheese to soften & whip together with sugar and vanilla extract. You can even add a dash of cinnamon for a little extra spice. 

Once your muffins are done, allow to cool on a cooling rack. Pipe on  your whipped frosting & drizzle a little honey on top.
