Meet SammieCake (famous kid classic sandwich + cupcake)

Here it is.
A fairly new cupcake.
Who does not enjoy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bananas?
Well, if you don't, then maybe you should stop reading...now and if you do I have a special cupcake. Its a sammiecake get it? sandwich and cupcake? it made more sense before I said it.

if you have a better name let me know

Here its featured on a platter next to mint chocolate cupcakes and peanut butter bombs, and giant chocolate chip cookies
They were left last but people finally gave in and bought them I'm not sure what or how people reacted towards them, but I don't think one can go wrong with peanut butter..right? Unless you hate peanuts

Whole wheat cake, peanut butter, jelly, and caramelized bananas.
Eat. Your. Heart. Out.
or whatever

The Lady Gaga "Cherry Cherry BOOM BOOM!"

Fans of the gaga or just fans of cupcakes.
This is for you.

I will admit I've listened, jammed, and sang along to a few gaga songs. I'm not the crazy fan who will dress up like a condom or light bolt to prove I listen to her or "express" how I feel towards the world, but I listen to her.

While making this cupcake I didn't want it to look like shit piled on shit I wanted it to look cute, yummy, and delicious and the original name for it wasn't "the gaga" and my skills in the kitchen have improved. So I thought it would be fair to blog about this awesome cupcake again since it looks way better than the first time I've ever made it. So, I just had this song stuck in my head forever after spending a few days with one of my younger sisters, the 15 year old one, and hearing the words "Cherry cherry boom boom..." how ever else it goes constantly coming out of her mouth other than "whatever jan, shut up jan, omgah jan." and being schooled that it was a lady gaga song.

That is when it hit me
THE LADY GAGA!
"cherry cherry BOOM BOOM!"

Mo' cupcakes mo' muffies....

First of all let me say these two things only took me like less than two hours in the kitchen. Maybe I was too excited to try this out? or maybe I was just too excited on going into work at nine than at seven so as soon as my class let out I came home and ran into the kitchen and started. First batch of 'doughnut cupcakes' failed, this second batch, well, I don't know they look okay, I haven't actually tried them yet, so I'll have to come with another update....later. Red Velvet muffies? do I even have to explain. PERFECT. NAILED IT. AWESOME. AMAZING.



That's all.
I'll be in the kitchen all weekend. I have a baby shower and a few other orders for V-Day! So, look at these awesome pictures of the new muffie and the new doughnut cupcake that will get its own post.......later.





Alright then laterz,

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.

Giant Cupcake > Regular Cupcake

Yes, please. All I have to say is that making this cupcake takes forever. About a good hour depending on how high or low your temperature is at. This is probably my fourth time making this Giant cupcake and I had this cupcake pan for a couple of years now. Its not that I don't like making these, but really when does one eat a GIANT cupcake on any given day? I don't know one sane person who does..just sayin' You can whip up a batch of cupcakes eat one or five and then share. But this cupcake is much more you can't share it, I mean you can..but do you want to? not really. You just want to keep it looking cute. I mean really would you eat a cute cat, dog,or baby? maybe you would. None of my business. So back to what I am trying to get out. This cupcake! Not just any ordinary cupcake, a vegan cookies&cream cupcake. What gets me most is when these cupcakes are presented are the looks on the faces of the people receiving them. Its pretty awesome. I made this for (okay stay with me now) my friend Omar's friend who happens to be in a band that was playing a show Friday (yesterday). Tragic Ends (google them).If I remember correctly his name is Scout? he just had a birthday but them being on tour he didn't get to celebrate it. Omar asked if I could set aside one of my usual cupcakes (regular size) w/ a candle and we can give it to him, but I had a better idea. I offered to make a Giant Cupcake I had the pan collecting dust(not really) it was time to use it again, plus who would rather have a regular size cupcake over a GIANT cupcake? no one. the bigger the better, right? So, here is what the cupcake looked like:

& here is what it looked like next to a regular size cupcake:

Pretty neat eh? I'd love this for my birthday.

& here is the birthday boy holding the cupcake (well, whats left of it) and Omar w/ the thumbs up. I hope he enjoyed every bite of it. Stay Sweet:

So, as most of you know if you read this blog I sell cupcakes at shows that is pretty much how I make some money for myself to get the bus to school, buy more baking supplies, & blah blah blah. For this show I made Cookies&Cream which I sold for .50 ( I know them being vegan I can make a lot more, but I like to keep it diy, well for now, I know kids have it hard gathering up money for the show alone) & Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes which I sold for $1(again, I know). This kid Mitch (if I remember correctly) (on the right) asked me if he ate this cupcake in one bite, wait let me describe this cupcake it was a lemon base cake filled with strawberries salted in pure maple syrup (which is expensive) & lemon buttercream (which took me forever to zest lemon, and squeeze the juice out, did I mention I had tiny knuckle cuts, OUCH), topped with the cake (that was scooped out, to fill it with strawberries) and more strawberries & lemon buttercream and then with two strawberry slices on the very top, if he could pay .50 cent for the cupcake instead of $1, I mean really? is a dollar a lot for what I described? did I mention it was vegan, plus everything was pure & organic. ugh, I gave in and accepted but I told him that if I was going to give him it at half the price that I needed proof of his ability to eat a cupcake in one single bite, His friend ahh sorry if you read this I don't remember your name if you told me it, wanted in as well. I tried to take a picture but all I got was it already in the mouth. I wanted the cupcake in the mouth showing, get me? ha. Oh well, that was the first and last time, but I can't really complain because he ended up giving me a dollar ha ha. So I snapped this fancy picture okay its not fancy but shut up I got the flash to start working & plus you get to see the cyc for those of you who haven't been/seen. Well, you get to see some of it the lovely bathroom ha. Maybe next time I will get someone who will wait for me to snap the picture before eating it? ha. This was probably the longest post ever.

Here is the picture of Mitch ( on the right) and his friend ( on the left) cupcake in mouth. Maybe next ttime I'll shoot a video instead.

Last night was a good night.
Tonight is Wolves & Thieves I am very excited for that show.
I will be selling Mint Cookies&Cream and Orangesicle, yummy!

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.
