Gluten-Free and Vegan Cupcakes

Are you a devote vegan? Do you have a gluten allergy? Good news: You can still enjoy Sprinkles incredible red velvet cupcakes! The Scottsdale cupcake shop just unveiled new gluten-free and vegan red velvet cupcakes (which is Sprinkles’ most popular flavor).
       
Sprinkles vegan red velvet cupcake substitutes traditional dairy products with vegan-friendly ingredients, including all-natural soymilk, tofu-based cream cheese and pure coconut oil. (Want to know a secret? I think I might like Sprinkles vegan red velvet even more than its original red velvet–I love the hint of coconut!) Gluten-free red velvet is made with gluten-free flour and topped with Sprinkles original cream cheese frosting. “Over the last couple years we have seen the requests for vegan and gluten-free cupcakes rise steadily,” says Sprinkles founder and pastry chef, Candace Nelson. “So we decided to explore different recipes for our fans. Now, regardless of health or dietary restrictions, we are excited that more people can enjoy a Sprinkles cupcake on their birthday.” 480.970.4321, www.sprinkles.com.
