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,

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?

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.
