ok…flesh of animals isn’t a usual ingredient in cupcakes. Am confused my vegan friends will eat cupcakes so what are we missing?

Vegan means you don’t eat anything from animals, which includes Dairy products which are in most cupcakes – milk, butter, etc. However if Lard is used (it is sometimes in baking) then yes, actually flesh of animals is included.

wow…thanks for that clarification, show’s how true to veganism my cousin and friends are. They do dairy. I never use lard…prefer to not coat my arteries with the heavy duty stuff. Isn’t lard pretty much a southern thing anymore?

heh, then your cousins are probably vegetarians, not vegans. Big difference. Lard is still used all over the place as far as I know.

More ederkation today, thanks. I haven’t seen lard in ages then again my lipids of choice tend to be the ‘healthier’ vegetable source so I really don’t look for it one way or the other.
