HEY! HI! YO! HOLA!

I'm not dead the cupcake gods have not executed me...yet! I'm still alive!
But I will admit I've been lagging on this blog. Lagging hard. I apologize.

Personal problems have gotten in the way of that. I'm just getting back to 'normal' living. I won't bore you with all that, but just know that I will post a new cupcake picture in the next blog (later on today?)

For now, I've been getting so much support and orders its awesome.

As of Feb. 20th cupcakes at shows moved up to $1.00 ( I know, I know) .50 more isn't that bad! Its because ingredients for these bad babies are so so EXPENSIVE!! Of course they were before, but for some reason they risen up more than what I have in my pocket and have you seen gas prices lately? holy cup-cake! they are insane. And the bus now charges 1.25? really? Do I want to keep change in my pocket and who walks around with one damn quarter? not me! I rather walk around. What does this nation think we are robots? Oh, yeah, they do. I even higher the price for a dozen, not by much, I think a $1-1.50. Don't worry I'm sure I'm still the cheapest cupcake maker selling all this vegan gold to yall, so YOU WIN! WOOOOOO! Anyways, I just wanted to update this ghost town blogspot just in case someone anyone reads it and just assumed I was executed by the mighty cupcake gods. I'm still here. Destroying in kitchens and filling up those bellies.

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.

I like raging about rad things. I like talking about gnarly things. But most of all I like baking sweet things. Like ya know cupcakes? and what I like better than that are pictures from people who eat Stay Sweet Cupcakes, or wear Stay Sweet Cupcakes shirts. Those rule more than ever. It warms my heart, which is hard to do. But it makes all my hard work worth it.

Old School Cupcakes (Vegan)





Or whatever you want to call them. I think old school gives it a touch a little BAM! don't you think? Well, if you don't then whatever I don't care. I like the name Old School Cupcakes. Remember these cupcakes? like chuck taylors they come in pairs. They ruled whenever I had one as a kid. I haven't had, I guess you can say, the "real" store cupcake in years. I seen them at stores with their pretty in orange, yellow & whatever else color they come in. But I just never really cared to buy one. I mean seriously why buy some that contain beef fat or some other crazy distinguishing shit when I can just make my own. Vegan Style. Plus, homemade is always better in cupcakes, gifts, food, Mixtapes, Mix cds, friendship bracelets & baked goods form. C'mon you know its true. So, before I start going off subject like always These cupcakes had everything from what I remember the real ones have. You got your chocolate cake, Creme filling, chocolate ganache & that sweet little cool swirl on top. I know mine suck, but give me a damn break it was my first time ever trying this recipe out. I think it was a success! I took this dozen along with a dozen of funfetti (my favorite) to a show that happened a couple of hours ago. Sold them all! Wuttt. Nights like these rule. You know what else rules? Babes. I think this cupcake really brought the old school tonight. I went to a show and felt like I was 14 again the different vibe, people, smell and company made it all feel that way. I seen a really old friend I haven't seen in literally years. I also seen a few old faces I haven't seen in years as well, not friends just faces. These cupcakes really do bring back the old times. Crazy. Anyways, these were a hit. I think these might be the next Peanut Butter bombs everyone gets crazy about? I don't know. You tell me. I left home with two dozens of cupcakes and came back home with two. These were everything you expect from a cupcake: Moist, Super Cute, fun to look at & Yummy, duh!p.s I had camera all along? I mean really did I forget? nah, I was just too lazy to care to look for it. Aren't these pictures fancy?

Basic Cupcakes (Vegan)


Cupcakes can get as basic as your want them. Today I seen a lady at the store with tons of cupcake liners, decorating sprinkles and tons of cake box mix. I was only assuming she was going to go home to bake up some cupcakes for her kid(s) to take to school? Possibly a birthday party? or maybe she wanted to just have a damn cupcake. I have no memories of my mom ever baking me a cake for school/birthday parties. She wasn't into baking. She always had to work and I understand. I'm not complaining. Weird. I don't know how I got this crazy crave for baking and loving it. I don't bake from boxes, I do all my baking from scratch.(just so there is no confusion). So back to the lady at the store. I am pretty sure she wasn't going for just a basic cupcake with all those decorating supplies but who knows people are weird and go apeshit crazy at stores buy tons of useless bullshit and don't use anything they bought but instead use what already had. I've done it before I'm not going to type here and lie. Its true. See picture above. I went out bought a shit load of cute cupcake liners, sprinkles, and food coloring. I ended up making and using a chocolate cupcake recipe, chocolate butter cream, crushed cookies I stole from my roommate, sprinkles my little sisters had brought over once and never took home and sprinkles from Vday. It happens.

Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes (vegan)


Phew. These cupcakes took forever to make. But they are worth every single second put into them. I never really messed around with trying to bake cinnamon rolls because it seemed so hard to do let alone looking at one of those fucking buns gives me the worst toothache ever. But I said what the hell I got time its Sunday I invited my mom over for dinner I might as well make an impression. So I made these. They had to rise two times before going into the oven. Finish product? Absolutely awesome and delicious. Worth it. While they baked I could smell them up in my room. It reminded me of the fair which happens to be in town as I type, I won't be attending this year just like last year. Oh well, it happens. My mom took a few home to show off to her coworkers at work the next day. :) Proud of myself.
