Big things ahead

That's right the title doesn't lie. There are many things ahead for Stay Sweet Cupcakes and I'm glad to announce them. Fall is in and the holidays are coming up. That only means more orders and more excuses to bake. I am very happy for that. I know I said maybe next post I'll blog about the potato chip cupcake, but I didn't make a potato chip cupcake this time. I did however make a strawberry cupcake. That I don't think I have ever introduced to this blog. Well, here it is a strawberry/vanilla cake topped with strawberry buttercream and topped with freshly chopped strawberries and chocolate, yum. This is just the start of this recipe. I plan on putting more strawberries for the lovers of strawberries. Anyways, other news, I got asked if I can participate and donate some cupcakes for a Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation event that is happening in Fresno, CA at a local high school. I will donate and also hand out a few business cards that have up to 50% off the next stay sweet cupcake purchase. I hope these are a big hit. I have some creative freedom to these cupcakes, but they asked for most pink and white theme. I have some ideas already and I am already wanting to go ahead and get started on these! But I have to wait. The event is happening Oct. 21st at a volleyball game, I won't be able to be there, but I will still get represented. Which is cool. I have a class I can't afford to miss. Anyways, I'm happy about this and hope this gets me some more customers and gets my name out there. So, with that being said updates will come asap. I also, have an interview for my local school newspaper I was offered to do this on vegan cupcakes, I am happy. This is going to happen tomorrow in the evening I am very nervous but extremely excited, if that even makes any sense. I don't know, but I can't wait. I will definitely blog about it and post pictures and all that fun stuff. Anyways, thats all for now. I hope next update will be about a damn new cupcake! :)

Thanks for reading...(if you did)

On Facebook

now, why? because its the new hot thing. I still love my blogspot forever and ever more, but its cool to get out there. I'm glad I made it within a couple of days I got a lot of people to "like" the page and it feels good, no lie. I have also been leaving my business cards around campus, public places, around Fresno and everywhere I can. haha. And I guess it paid off. I got offered an interview for my schools newspaper which I am really stoked on. I know I will get out there more with that. Also, Oct. 9th a bunch of my friends are having a reunion show (Prove It) an old Fresno band.. which will be fun. They are going to play the Stay Sweet Core song live and record it and my good friend Daniel aka xvdedvx who is also the singer of the band is going to put the video together and get that out there soon I am happy about that. and a little nervous. haha. I have to give some live footage of me baking and shit. Should be fun. I am extremely happy about it. Other than that, I will be testing the Potato Chip cupcake tomorrow, maybe half a dozen and see how that goes.
Thanks for reading if you do. If you are a Facebook user or know of any FB users please help me spread the word. Thank you!

New Recipe(s)


I get crazy ideas and I get loads of influence when I am blogging, walking, sitting, sleeping, eating, window shopping, and webbing it. I am pretty stoked on some new recipes I have came across and some recipes that just floated into my head as I looked around at cupcakes and cupcake decorating tools. Whether I'm at the store or at home or even day dreaming in class I have new recipes on my mind, weird? Probably, but I don't care. I thought a lot about a few that will be mentioned and I have seen a few that I would love to veganized and try out. Soon, if not now. I hate that I can't just go out to the store and buy what I think I might need, because I'm broke. I will make them soon and I'm sure they will be a hit. At least thats what I'm hoping for... So the new flavors that I will be adding to the list of flavors already made and blogged about are listed below


-Potato Chip Chocolate Cupcake
-Blueberry Cobbler Cupcake
-Peach Cobbler Cupcake
-Drumstix Cupcake
-Mango Strawberry Cupcake
and
-Sweet Potato Pie cupcake



Maybe I'll have one of these recipes to share with ya next post.

For now this week I'm working on a few orders and checking out my favorite baseball team in the bay area to once again beat LA.


wait, how did I forget!
The other night which was possibly last week I had made my friends of VULGAR last show cupcakes I got the idea from another friend who text me "Jan make Vulgar cupcakes" at first I was like vulgar cupcakes, gross, okay. But then I realized he was talking about the band. ha ha. So, I decided fuck it sounds awesome and it would probably be the talk of the night, I don't know if it was. It probably wasn't. But they came out pretty fucking rad. I thought so. I don't usually do this type of decorating because my skillz suck duh look at the last post, haha. But I was down to do it anyways...Here they are. I was also listening to minor threat while I was destroying in the kitchen so yeah, that's how that rad cupcake got in there...btw I hate iphone pictures soooooo much I miss my old phone soooo much. :(

BEAT LA cupcakes



because my hate for the LA DODGERS grows every day. No joke, I am definitely not a fan of southern California. Why? because its boring, overrated, and everything there sucks. I don't know what the hype is...I guess that is just me. I love the bay area a lot and with that being said. I love the SF Giants. So, I decided why the hell not go ahead and make some Beat LA and DODGERS SUCK cupcakes for this series when SF was in LA. So, that's exactly what I did. First of all, forgive me for using this shitty camera phone, the iphone rules, but at the same time the picture quality is shit compared to my old phone, which, I do miss and I wish I still had, but that can't happen, because I let someone barrow it and it 'accidentally' broke the next day, bullshit. Anyways, so they didn't come out great on photo as they were in person. It looked like I used paint on some of them and when people saw them they didn't believe it was 'buttercream' and not fondant. oh well, people are going to believe what they want to. So, here are the pictures chocolate cake and buttercream. I didn't eat any because I was pissed about the first game, but we won the last two and took the series and now we are trailing 1 and Padres lose ten games straight. Stoked I am. :)
Anyways, these are not the best, but I know I can do better next time. Maybe I'll do it again when LA comes to SF and I will have a better idea of what I want to do. They will be a million times better trust me. Uhhh, I don't know what else to say.....

Oh yeah, I forgot to sign up for this cake decorating contest at my damn school! :( I was stoked on it and I forgot the last day to sign up was on Friday. I am so sad. I could have won....
