Vegan Cup Cakes by Isa Moskowitz Lite
Vegans can have their cake and eat it too. For some people, it’s weird to think that animal products are in their cupcake. The design of this app is pretty basic but I love the ABCs of cupcakes and the instructional section on “How to make Kick-Ass Cupcakes.” To find recipes, put keywords in the search box or upgrade to the full version of this vegan app for full, easy access.
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Everyone loves a Sprinkles cupcake! Be the first to get access to the secret word that will earn you a free mini cupcake at your local Sprinkles when you get alerts with this sweet app. You can also send virtual cupcakes to your friends (fewer calories!) or place orders for special occasions. Plus, it’s quick access to your local cupcake calendar so you always know what seasonal flavors are on tap for the next day.
ParisChocolat
The super-sweet ParisChocolat iPhone app asks the question: What kind of chocolate are you? Man or woman, this adorable app will recommend the perfect chocolate package for you based on your answer to its chocolate test. You can also peruse the ParisChocolat magazine and catalogue.
