I’ve always had a soft spot for chocolate mousse – so creamy, light, chocolatey, and just utterly satisfying. However, traditional chocolate mouse involves egg yolks and so is limited from a health and diet perspective. I wanted to figure out a way to achieve the same taste and consistency without the eggs, and that is …

Sprinkles Cupcakes- Yay or Nay?
If you’re a foodie or a cupcake connoisseur, then you’ve definitely heard of Sprinkles Cupcakes. If you haven’t then you’re a poser- aka you’re not a true foodie or cupcake lover. Why do I say this?
