Have you ever tried a "vegan" cupcake?
The truth is... most of them taste more like cardboard than cake.
But it shouldn't be that way. Because, in my view, a vegan cupcake
should taste like a regular cupcake.
So I decided to do something about it.
My name is Claire Gosse and I've been running my own vegan cooking
website for over a decade.
That's why I spent the better
part of an entire year taking dozens of classic and popular dessert
recipes and "veganizing" them.
Through trial and error, I discovered how to make vegan dessert recipes
that taste as good as their non-vegan counterparts.
The result of all my hard
work is a new cookbook called, "Are
You Sure That's Vegan?"
But, the thing is, you don't have to be a vegan to enjoy them. Because
all my recipes were taste-tested by friends, family, and business associates
-- and NONE of them are vegans.
You, A Vegan Dessert Chef?
Yes! (At least, that's what your friends and family will think when
they taste the dazzling desserts you'll create using my recipes!)
You see, anyone can do it! The recipes are quick and easy. Just follow
my clear, concise directions and you'll be impressing your friends
and family with tasty treats, in no time.
Besides, baking is a lot of fun. Your friends and family will enjoy
the desserts you made... and you'll experience a real feeling of personal
satisfaction.
There's just nothing better than fresh-baked desserts (unlike grocery
store baked goods that typically sit around on the shelf for days...
or longer). Plus, the aroma is wonderful when you open the oven door
and take out your fresh, hot treats!
About The Recipes
All the recipes in my new cookbook are:
- 100% vegan.
- Virtually identical vegan "clones" of popular "classic" desserts.
(You'll love them!)

the original versions.

reference cookbook for baking dozens of popular favorites that you,
your friends, and family will enjoy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Since vegan recipes don't use animal products, there are a number
of "challenges" vegans face when baking.
Here are a few
of the most common questions...
Q: Where can I find the ingredients?
A: I wanted the recipes to use ingredients that are easy to find.
So most of the ingredients I used can be found at your local grocery
store.
Q: How do you get by without using eggs?
A: You don't need eggs to bind everything together when baking.
There are quite a few ways to replace them. I've discovered some
simple substitutes you can use.
Q: What about butter and milk?
A: Butter is actually very easy to replace... and there are many
milk alternatives.
Q: Are vegan desserts healthy?
A: Like all vegan foods, my recipes don't use dairy or other animal
products. But, remember, they're still desserts. They're not intended
to be eaten all the time.
However, generally speaking, home-baked desserts are often healthier
than store-bought varieties because commercial bakeries frequently
add chemical additives, artificial ingredients, and preservatives.
When you bake at home, you can usually avoid some or all of those "bad" ingredients.
Q: Is sugar vegan?
A: Not all of it. Some brands of sugar
use "bone char" in
their processing (so they're not vegan). But there are many companies
that don’t use that process. With a little checking, you'll be able
to find brands that are suitable for vegan recipes.
Q: Do your recipes really taste as good as the originals?
A: Yes! My taste-testers liked my final recipes as much -- and sometimes
more -- than the original, non-vegan versions. And remember... NONE
of my taste-testers are vegans.
Many of my earlier attempts at "cloning" the originals
missed the mark. But I didn't give up. I kept working and altering
the ingredients until they were perfect.
Oh, No! My Cake Fell!
Baking is part "art" and part "science" -- so
it's no surprise that things can sometimes go wrong. That's why I'm
going to share all the important tricks I discovered while testing
my vegan dessert recipes.
I'll provide solutions to common pitfalls... and also share some
great little tips about choosing pans, setting optimal temperatures,
and much more.
You'll learn the answers to questions such as...
- Why did my cake fall?
- Why did my batter overflow?
- Why did my cake stick to the pan?
- And more...
