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!

Dia De Los Muertos... (Day Of the Dead)

As most of you know, whoever reads this or knows me personally, I am deeply in love with anything cupcakes, day of the dead, and pizza. When I got asked to do a theme cupcake order of day of the dead I thought HOLY SHITFUCKDICKMUTHERFUCKER YES! and told the person asking for the request that I would be more than happy to do it. I love this art. I am glad its part of my culture and a tradition that has been past down to me from my grandfather. And I will keep it alive until I die, even if I don't ever have kids, I will do what I can. Anyways, these looks pretty basic right? WRONG! These were soo time consuming and so much detail went into these I can't believe the price I sold them for. And to top it off they came out beautifully, but the picture taken doesn't really show how pretty they really are. I used some vanilla from mexico and the cake flavor is "churro" yeah, these bad boys are all around amazing. I'm not really authentic, I will admit I am really whitewashed and americanized, So I tried my best to give it a Mexican touch. So, yeah. Not much has been going on lately, well, I have been getting orders, but they are all repeats of what has already been post on this blog (Idon't mind at all!) but as soon as a new flavor comes along I'll post that bad boy right up! But enjoy my hard work...





Oh yeah, I stole this from this girl who 'likes' Stay Sweet Cupcakes' facebook page: (I thought it was pretty sweet and I hope she doesn't mind I took it from her page I don't know her personally but I REALLY appreciate the support and the picture is just lovely! :) Thanks lovely lady. xoxo)

Update: coconut cream, peppermint, & stuff

Two flavors for your eyes to admire and your mouth to water. I don't think I have introduced the peppermint cupcake on this blog yet...Well, I will blah blah about it today. So the holidays are in and candy canes, xmas music, and all that red, green, snowmen, and shit everywhere. But its not all that bad that means red velvet, peppermint, silknog, snickerdoodle, and pumpkin spice, apple spice, cupcakes are in season. YUM!


The next cupcake is a coconut cream cupcake.
These were made for California Love Fest and they were amazing. Chocolate cake filled with some whipped coconut cream and topped with fresh coconut and then toasted coconut on top of that. A-fucking-mazing? yes! I like coconut and chocolate and thought that this was a perfect combo.




Thats all I have and I don't feel like typing out anymore.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I always try to do my part for awareness month. You know, inform, check, wear as much pink as I own, and all that 'hype' business. I wish I had a lot more money and was the first to think of having a bake sale this year to donate money to help find the cure, but I wasn't and I don't have much money. So, I do what I can. This year, I got asked if I can donate some cupcakes for a fundraiser that is happening tonight at a local high school. I of course said yes. Many don't know this, but breast cancer runs in my family, and I am at a higher risk than the usual 21 year old, because of that. I feel it was a right thing to do, also, maybe I will be able to get out there more. You know it never hurts to get new customers.. Not many people know what a vegan cupcake is and they also don't know that they exist, well, it seems like that in the central valley. Most, probably think a vegan cupcake can't taste as great as a traditional cupcake, but that's not true. I am here to show the people of the world, that vegan cupcakes are delicious, amazing, and the fucking best. Yeah, I said it. For this I donated three dozens of cupcakes (not much) but she was asking for less, why not, I squeezed money out from my pocket, and BAM! Peanut Butter Bombs, Funfett, and vanilla/vanilla/pink cupcakes are going to be there for sale. I unfortunately won't be able to be there, because I have a night class to attend. I am still just as happy to do them and donate them since I'm kind of in a rough patch right now (financially and such), but it's all worth it. Knowing I did something this year and this month. Get stoked because I know I am. I hope this spreads the word and they sell out and people open their minds to vegan cupcakes, and vegan things in general. Hopefully pictures will be taken and I will get a hold of some of them. I just want to know things went well. That's all, :).


Here are a couple of stay sweet related things. An interview from my school newspaper and Stay Sweet's facebook page.

Lemonhead

Ever wonder why lemon head candy was invented? I don't, I just know they are good until the roof of your mouth starts to hurt. That probably doesn't happen to you, but I know it sure happens to me. That is why I don't eat them a whole lot. Well, back to why this is even the topic. I like lemons not to the point where I have to eat one every day its just sometimes they make food taste better. They also make good for lemonade, tea, and are best at giving you pain with you have small paper cuts on your fingers. Lemons are great. For a cupcake they make me wonder why there are not more lemon related cupcakes on this blog. I don't know I will ask myself that until I have a good honest answer. So, this time I took out my baking supplies and went ahead and busted out the lemons, lemon heads and started and when I was done this was the outcome of all things lemon. Simple, delicious, and full of flavor.

Peanut Butter Jealously...

Yes, be jealous because you are not enjoying this cupcake. Get others jealous when this cupcake is all yours and they can't do anything about it, but stare at it wishing it was about to enter their mouths...instead of yours..

Here is a cupcake that I have been getting request from random people and I just didn't know how to approach the idea. Its hard enough to just decide on a certain recipe let alone make up another one and go with that. So, by this time I had been asked over and over again and I felt it was time to go ahead and make another one. I got tired of taking repeats to shows and selling them. I want to give people a variety and I want them to know I am capable of more flavors and cupcakes. I kind of brought this upon myself I asked what people wanted to buy for the next show and sure enough peanut butter and jelly was part of that request. So, here it is.

Peanut butter cake, famous peanut butter frosting, and jelly (Strawberry!). I didn't get any negative feedback, so I guess I'll leave this recipe alone until I do.

Couch Potatoes get stoked!

Now you can have your usual couch potato snacks all in one single cup and you don't even have to get up to grab more chips or more sweets its all right there in that sweet individual cake cup like snack. Yeah, I answered your prayers, and I am the queen lord of cupcakes and everything you ever imagined, but how I hate the stage potatoes at shows I hate a couch potato more....so don't ask me to marry you if this is your cupcake....or if you're a stage potato
I didn't actually come up with this idea at all. It was not my original idea so I should not and do not want to take credit for it, But I did come up with the veganized cupcake instead of a 'traditional' cupcake. So, if you want to give me credit for that I'll take it. :) I found this recipe while surfing the net, yeah, I like to look at blogs, cupcakes, recipes, and cupcake related things online, judge me. I was excited and surprise to come across this recipe, I don't remember where I found it or how I found it I just did. So, I can't direct you or point you in the direction of the creator, sorry. I apologize. I can however give you this picture and the cupcake itself.
First of all, I know this isn't the best combination and I know this isn't the best option. I just thought it was a fun recipe and idea to test out. Of course I'm not going to say hey eat one of these all day everyday fucker and get sick. I might say try one so you know how the flavors combine. Sweet, salty, and such a weird combination. I think this cupcake is really whole love it or hate it cupcake. Its not a cupcake everyone will enjoy. I know that. If you bite into it and realize that this was the missing piece to your life puzzle then you're welcome, but if you bite into it and want to immediately want to split it out then at least you tried it. And you can still brag to your girlfriend/boyfriend, friends, people you meet, and your family members about how you tried a potato chip cupcake once...and it was even vegan...

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....

Sound and fury + cupcakes =

best idea ever.
I baked up four dozens of cupcakes and sold them all. Sweet business, sweet news. Sound and fury was great. Even if the day ended pretty fast it was all worth while staying up late to bake four dozens of cupcakes in my kitchen and have them ready for the final day of SAF. I was glad I pulled it off and I was glad to be there. I priced them at $1 each and they were all gone by the time the fourth band played. It was quite awesome. I seen my friends from up north, down south, out east, and midwest. It ruled. I was glad to be there. I also seen some friends from Fresno, ha ha. Sweet? duh. Always. I got to see beartrap play their set which was cool, but I wish the kevins were there to hang out with. Cool dudes. Oh well, maybe next time. I at least got to see the set and witness Beautiful People cover which ruled. Anyways, The cupcakes at the fest was a success, next year? I hope. I have big plans for it to happen and I just hope my friends bands play so I can have a spot on a merch table again. I need more patches to be made and more buttons maybe I will have shirts by then? We'll see. Maybe I will get my own table and get to sell cupcakes and cookies, that would rule. I would be content. But I'm excited for now and planning tons of things in my head even if I don't have a spot I will still sell them outside in the parking lot. 'cause thats how I roll.
This isn't a picture from the fest I don't know why I didn't take any! but this is one from the cyc. I thought it was still a cool enough picture to post?

The cookie crumbles into a cupcake.

Or whatever. Yeah, Ive been on this peanut butter & cookie trail cupcake. Judge me. I wont stop until I discover the best variations of these two awesome inventions. This cupcake is a peanut butter base cupcake with some chocolate sandwich cookies crushed into them. The outcome from one of my sisters (other opinions I will find out tomorrow) was that it taste like a cookie. Is that good? I dont know. I wanted to add peanut butter frosting but that would of been too much, who knows, i sure dont. Maybe with that extra peanut butter kick it would put the world at peace I will marry Scott Nestor and life would be perfect, but Im not going to try that. It just sounds like a bad idea that is waiting to happen the idea to destroy the world where I would have to settle for a nonbaseball player and the world would not be at peace, which wouldnt be so bad. If i married my dream boy, shit, anyways, back to what I was writing. I think to much peanut butter means more time on the toilet, eeek. That is not the plan I want to happen or the intention of this cupcake, so tomorrow morning which is like five hours away, i will be topping it with something simple and not too crazy. I will also be getting more opinions on it and whether its a favorite or not. I shall see. For now drool (if youre cool like me & peanut butter is your thing) or just scoop out these badASS idea cupcakes. Thats all I have. Go to this show! July 22nd(tonight): The CYC Fresno, ca The Effort, This Is Hell, Product Of Waste, Striking Justice, plus more! $8 4pm support touring bands, support fresno scene, buy more cupcakes! :) xoxo

New cupcake! New post.

I was walking around in winco one night/day because I don't really have a life at three in the morning and because I'm too broke to turn on the AC at home so I just freeload off of winco its close to my house and it feels soo good. Plus, its cool because I get awesome ideas when I walk around looking like a nut faking to find something that I know damn well is not there. like while I was enjoying the free ac I came across peanut butter oreos, I don't know if those are vegan but they looked awesome and the flavor was just screaming out to me. Then that awesome light that you see in cartoons turn on when one of the characters has an awesome idea over his/her head, yeah that didn't happen but I had an idea. Peanut butter cookies n crunch? or cream or whatever, it just had to do with peanut butter, I love peanut butter and cookies rule well famous amos cookies rule and I know those are vegan. Anyways, I had this on my mind for a long time. I just hadn't came around to it. So, when I had extra peanut butter buttercream I decided I can whip up half a batch. And BAM! here it is. whats up? took some to the show and they were the first to go. Some stayed here at my house because my roommates where having a poker/potluck night the same day. This is just the first try maybe I will see if the oreos are vegan and use those instead of plain sandwich cookies.







Also, I made these Key lime coconut cupcakes, just incase anyone wanted a reason to drool.

thats all,

xoxo

Alright everyone

get set, get ready. I would say go but one can't really go anywhere, because I don't know where to point in the the direction of go. Anyways, I am excited to announce the next Stay Sweet shirts....ready? okay, well, this is not 100 percent of what I wanted but its close enough and that is what I am excited about. This was made by a friend who some how read my mind and drew this up. okay well, I guess he didn't draw it up because its not an original piece, but you get the point..enough blah blah blah you probably already seen the pictures before reading these words. I need like ten pre-orders to get started and I want to keep it limited as possible. This will probably be the first batch. I think guys would look extra handsome in one of these as well as ladies would look extra cute. okay! Here it is. $10 I dare you to say no.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 2nd try

This time I didn't just step into the kitchen and went from there I actually have been thinking hard about making this cupcake. It's still not perfect, but I'm pretty sure its such a weird combination that you're taste buds can not even keep up with your mind. Yeah, its that good. I had like half of each one I made and instant tooth decay, rotten teeth, whatever you want to call it. It fits into that category of things you should not eat, but you do anyways and regret it later, but secretly don't regret it, its because you have to say you regret it and the next day or week you find yourself doing the exact same thing saying the same words, yeah, its that kind of cupcake... One cupcake can get one through the damn week. Its a good cupcake, but a lot of time has been dedicated to these. So, if you ever get to try one please appreciate it. For this dozen I decided to halve the recipe and make six of them with a cinnamon cake and the other six with a chocolate cake. The frosting also had some cookie dough worked into it. So, pretty much. If you love cookie dough, this is YOUR CUPCAKE its packed with the goodness of cookie dough, yum. I can't really say much about this cupcake, I wanted to do much more to it, but I guess that would be for another time. This time it has really improved since the first post. Don't you think?







xoxo

more sweet things

So, for this blog I got a few faces to share all the way from the east coast and from the west coast. First, check out some of these bands: www.myspace.com/wearebeartrap, www.myspace.com/bridgeshc. Now, that you got that out of the way. This blog is dedicated to some pretty rad people I have met through out the years. Rad dudes, deserve only the best cupcakes I can make.
I'm going to be straight up honest. I feel weird asking "Hey can I take a picture of you eating a cupcake?" Reasons for the pictures? I'm not a creepy lady that has all these pictures of random people or anything like that, just so one knows. I'm starting up a photolog for the stay sweet video that is suppose to happen this Summer and with that I want to provide and share pictures of as many friends as possible enjoying a cupcake. :):

I can honestly say I am jealous of Mikes shirt, :(.

Update, its been forever

I know it has been forever, a day, and possibly ten minutes since I have updated this! I'm so bummed out I haven't kept up with this, but my life doesn't stop. Well, it will stop when I'm dead, but that is not the case. I been a bit busy with Summer, work, hanging out, shows, baseball season, swimming and being lazy. But during that time I have been baking it up tearing it up in the kitchen and I'm beyond stoked on that. So, shirts are coming soon stay patient they will get here. Last month which was May I baked a bunch of goodies. My last post was an 'ice cream cake' that did not come out as awesome as I thought, well, the responses were positive and the cake was yummy but it needed a lot more ice cream, but after that I had an order in for vegan ice cream cake. and I know I had to do it much much better. I'm not much of a cake decorator (duh) but I tried my hardest and I'm pretty sure it was a win. This order was strawberries and chocolate, enough said. Who doesn't like strawberries and chocolate? unless you're allergic then I would understand, but if you're not then you're crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy. But overall these ice cream cakes were fun to make. I know my camera sucks but bare with me I only use my phone camera for pictures of cupcakes and other baked goods. The second one was a peanut butter ice cream cake I made for my sisters birthday it was such a good cake. Peanut butter rules. Also, I decided to re-decorate some cupcakes I already make, my favorite (funfetti) now has a twist to it to make it better I packed sprinkles on top of the frosting it looks pretty fancy and for the cookies and cream I just decided to do it with a regular vannilla cupcake and some crushed up cookies mixed together. Its funny I don't usually use oreo cookies for these cupcakes when I make cookies and cream, but I had a packet laying around the house and decided to go ahead and use them up. I think these two cupcakes rule even more. This blog has tons of random pictures to make up for the time lost. I also did a few for a luau party that happened this pass weekend. I made some pineapple right side up cupcakes and funfetti new style cupcakes. As soon as these cupcakes were laid out they got eaten, it was crazy. I also made a giant cupcake for my roommate doug my sisters boyfriend. But it was a cookies and cream one and it was awesome, even though I didn't eat it the way it came out was just nice. They took it up to Tracy his hometown and enjoyed it there. Pretty sure it was a win. Any ways, I'll stop ranting about nothing and just show ya'll the pictures. here they are:





















Thats all. I will try to keep on top with posting.
