Soy free treat ideas

For ice cream, I love Breyers.  If you want to make it more fun, get the enjoy life chocolate chips and use as a topping.  Mini Swedish fish also make dot great toppings like gummi bears.

 

 

 

 

 

For cupcakes, my hands down favorite is Arrowhead mills organic chocolate cake mix.  Whole Foods sells it.  For each egg required, I substitute with 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/2 teaspoon of double action baking powder.  It is great for making cupcakes and tastes so yummy.  I am not kidding.

 

 

UPDATE:  Hi All.  I want to add an update in here for those of you looking to decorate cupcakes with frosting and decor. 

For a full batch of cupcakes (24 cupcakes), the following will make enough super yummy buttercream frosting. 

Soy Free Buttercream Frosting:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 stick butter (Note:  Put the stick of butter out in the morning so that it will have time to soften.)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream  (Add a little more if you think it needs it.)

Directions:

• In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk, mix together sugar and butter.
• Mix on low speed until well blended and then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
• Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.
• Use food coloring to make different different colored frosting options.

For decorating the cupcakes, there are also some soy free options.  I found the decorations at the grocery store except for the chocolate and rainbow sprinkles.  I purchased those online from the naturalcandystore.com.
