Sushi Cupcakes!

100% Vegan cupcakes assembled to be gobbled up sushi style!

Mini coconut cupcakes complete with "Wasabi" frosting and dark chocolate "soy sauce" all from scratch!

Step 1: Gather Supplies!

As always when gathering ingredients, try to buy local, organic, and Eco-friendly!
These cupcakes are 100% Vegan, but you can always try substituting with butter instead of margarine; almond milk instead of soy...etc.

This recipe makes 24 mini cupcakes and about 6 "tamago" or "sashimi" cakes

-Kiwi
-Mandarin Oranges

Additional Supplies:
