short and sweet


no cupcake pictures, but updating never hurt.
Last minute orders area always fun. Being in the kitchen with a itchy throat isn't and whats worst having to cancel orders because of it, I lose. I haven't been feeling too good lately don't ask why maybe because my awesome job is coming to an end? Maybe because I might be moving out of Fresno and not going to be able to bake as much or maybe because its winter the weather sucks its cold one day and hot the next, Fresno.


This week is the last week of the 2010 year. It was good to me. My cupcake love grew, my support grew, and my encouragement grew. Now, to win big money and open my shop already! I can't wait to introduce my "New Years Eve" cupcake. I wanna be in SF New Years Eve, but we'll see what happens.



Get stoked.



Well, with that being said I'm now going out to buy 50% off candy and decorations for my 'maybe happening' birthday party Jan. 4th! wooo.

pizza + cupcakes + ideas = Lets get WEIRD.

In the kitchen I am alone and I create the most random things, sometimes, they are not introduced to this blog other times I have no time and forget my creations (because I don't write it down), the method in my kitchen is SWAG (Simply a Wild Ass Guess) and the outcomes? almost always good.

I introduce you pizza cupcakes made by yours truly and recommended many many times by @GabeYouth founder of Stolen Youth which you should probably look into to keep up your swag. Nope its not a cake with butter cream that represents vegetables and cheese and all that its actual pizza toppings cupcake form, with cake.I love pizza. I am part of the hashtag crew #pizzalife on twitter. My friends know I love pizza, my family knows that I can eat pizza everyday. Other than baking goodies I'm in the kitchen I am probably eating or making homemade pizza. Anyways, as for these pizza cupcakes? I think they came out pretty damn good. I really did use an actual cake batter to create these things, actual pizza sauce, some secret ingredients, and the swag method. haha.

The Cake or 'crust'; cake with some fresh and dried herbs, some sauce, and cornmeal for the base.
The toppings; pizza sauce, cheese, cream cheese, spices, herbs, tomatoes and onions.
The outcome; SWEET.


Its like one is being tested. You eat this cupcake and you think "this isn't a fucking cupcake!" but it is, the "crust" is cake its in a cupcake liner. Not saying that EVERYTHING that fits in a cupcake liner is automatically a cupcake, but if you have cake in it doesn't that count? I think so. The funny thing is they still have a sweet taste to them too and that doesn't even interfere with the savory part.

Anyways, as for an introduction I think I gave it my best. Pizza lovers unite. This is a wild deal. And your taste buds are already going crazy over these pictures huh?

National Cupcake Day/Fear The Beard (12/15/2010)

there are many days that are not important to me. Like these holidays, but there are days I do enjoy. Like today is National Cupcake Day, in honor of that. I decided to bake cupcakes, sell them at show price ($0.50) and have people pick them up. Success? kind of. I think people were afraid to come over? but those who did received cupcakes and were extremely stoked. I mean who doesn't like a 50 cent cupcake..vegan cupcake? I have no idea. Anyways, Other than cupcake day. I have three finals left and school is over. Will I move to the bay area or will I stay in Fresno? I don't know. But whatever happens I'm not excited about it.

Alright, so I was worried I haven't even mentioned FEAR THE BEARD at all on this blog. WTF is wrong with me? I have no idea. SF GIANTS are World Series Champions. My life is almost complete (why almost?) I have 1) yet to see this trophy up close and personal 2) I haven't opened up my shop. 3) I have yet to meet and hang out with Willy ( Brian Wilson one of my favorite Giants, aside from, Torres) Anyways, many may know him as Brian Wilson, saver for the the SF Giants I know him as the best man alive. This dude has an extremely awesome personality and if I was trapped on an island I would definitely want him to be there with me. And I don't even know him, but from what I see in interviews and all that stuff he is amazing. Anyways, during the 2010 season SF Giants developed a whole lot of sweet and funny quotes, names, and just straight up fun with their fans and within their clubhouse. Some famous and most memorable names; Pat The Bat, Ross is Boss (SORRY DOC) which is Cody Ross spelled backwards, Huff Daddy (red thong), Bust da ball Posey, Pocket full of Poseys, "Can't spell busteR pOseY without spelling ROY (Rookie of the year), Andres the GIANT, UUUUUUUUUU-ribe, Panda, "Timmy for booty of the year" or better known as the FREAK, and the most famous and probably got the most glory was FEAR THE BEARD mainly because Wilson rocked it and Romo had his own going on, but really of the two the beard one feared the most had to be Wilson's.
So, we had a few parties going on during the playoffs and I decided to get creative and make some cupcakes with the 'SF Giants' theme.
I thought they were pretty rad looking.
and then here are picture of the ball park, buster posey shrine, and yeahhhhhh















Maybe next year it'll be fear the fro

but I can not wait!

the offseason SUCKSSSSSSSSSSS

HoliYAY specials.

Its been such a long time since I've updated this. I apologize to anyone who actually cares enough to read this.
Anyways, I can't believe I slack so much on this. I've been getting orders in like crazy and I am not complaining. The only thing keeping me from giving up on everything I had planned out for my future is getting orders, great feedback, and new customers. Which I have to say I enjoy all three. Well, lets get the bad news out of the way I haven't really had the chance to actually get in the kitchen and sit there ( well, I can't really sit in my kitchen, if you've been to my house you'd understand why) and think of what should I try out next or what flavors would be weird yet tasty. I did make a mango meyer lemon cake and it was okay, not the best combo. I think the mangoes I used were to bitter. :( I'll try again. And so new recipes are not here. yet. That doesn't mean I won't ever try. I will soon, just not now unless someone recommends something crazy. Like I still need to work on this 'jelly filled do n0t cupcake' (doughnut) and I might do that this Friday or maybe next week. Anyways, the point of this update is to introduce HoliYAY cupcakes!

Since I've been getting new and awesome customers I decided why the hell not? and if I don't get that much responses I won't have another one next year, duh. So here they are:


**Now until Dec.30th. I'm offering a buy 2 dozens get 1 free.
**A vegan cookie platter up to three dozens of cookies or two dozens and some cake truffles and brownies; $20.
**Buy 1 dozen get the other 1/2 off!



So write down all the flavors, narrow it down to what you want and then just send me an email for more details (if you don't understand what I'm offering or for another cupcake idea) or with your order & the special you want.


Surprise your friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, children, ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, sancho, sancha, your friends brother, your friends sister, your guy friends brother who you have a crush on but can't say anything because it would ruin your friendship but you still secretly want him, or your girl friends sister who you can't help but want to hold her hand, family, coworkers & even your crush or best friend for life, brotherfriend with vegan treats.


Made by yours truly

xoxo


p.s I don't support Sanchos/Sanchas





Also, there is a HUGE show at the cyc this Friday, if you want any cupcake there you'd like to purchase let me know in a comment or email! And support this awesome venue and these touring bands!
