so i tried subbing fresh strawberry puree for the applesauce while making erin mckenna's vanilla cupcakes. i also added white choco chips (not NECESSARILY vegan). they turned out DOPE but next time i will add some natural red color. i've made a bunch of her recipe from babycakes and they are all mostly great. although her frosting is WAY too involved and kind far from a whole food type experience. plus there's the whole AGAVE DEBACLE i will get into later.
