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.

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!

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.

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. :(

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?

Coconut Raspberry Cupcakes

Say what? Yup, you heard right. Righteous Raspberry w/coconut, I think that will be the name of these cupcakes. Sweet. But really, Sweet is what you get when you bite into this cupcake it just leaves you wanting more and more. These are truly the cupcake you want in your mouth, it will be the best combination, ever. Trust me. I don't know words can't really describe what you get out of the cupcakes, well, more words can't. Its a coconut cake, filled with raspberry filling, topped with a piece of coconut cake, topped with raspberry frosting and then topped with coconut, yum. You just got to try one and believe me you won't be disappointed. These like my Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes were invented by me and someone craving something more. My friend vxdedxv wanted a mixture of raspberry and coconut and I definitely came up with this recipe as I was in the kitchen, I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but it all came out rad. Like always right? :) As of now I am back in school, no more Spring Break, bummer. I have about a month left so thats sweet business. Then Summer vacation is here to be all hot and rad, along with Summer I'm going to introduce more fruit cupcakes because sometimes its too hot to just eat a reg. cupcake, or is it?




P.s
Go to this show tonight!!
