Hi!

Well, new year. No cupcake pictures to prove I made a that said cupcake, so I did? No one knows. I will keep it at that.

Anyways, that day when everyone thinks they have to be in love, in a relationship, or have a partner is coming up, yes Feb. 14th the day people dread the day people look forward to all year long.

I personally can care less about what ever day it is, well, unless its Halloween or Dia De Los Muertos, or baking up cupcakes count me in, but Valentines Day? Not a fan of.

So, with that being said, go ahead and order some cupcakes made by yours truly let me make your day special as you make mine by ordering and I will be happy baking for YOU! Whether you have a valentine or if you're alone cupcakes with another or without are perfect for the stomach! And don't get so cry baby on me about not having a valentine because I just want to BAKE CUPCAKES! :)

So, purchase a dozen or five for your parties, picnic, movie night, or whatever you plan on doing and I'm sure your day would be AMAZING with or without people! Especially if your munching on Stay Sweet Cupcakes. ;)

My attempt at a flier for this was a total failure. I tried so damn hard to do one and ended up making a really rad one on, well, I'm going to sound like a total idiot, but I made it in a word document. Laugh all you want, I did. Anyways, can't upload that shit, so here is the text, you don't get to see the amazing job I did, maybe I'll print it out and picture and post here, maybe...

WAIT! don't forget to read the fine text below!
Okay, GO!

P.S
check it! new favorite band. I just can't get enough.

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!

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!
