Boston Cream Pie Cupcake(vegan)

So, the word on the street is a California can't master a Boston Cream Pie, not really. I don't know if the pie even comes from the east coast. I just know when I tried it I fell for it. So, the history I have no info on it. All I know is whoever came up with this recipe rules/ruled. I made these bad cakes for California Love Fest II if you didn't come, you missed out. Seriously, not only on cupcakes but on rad bands. Right now I'm sitting at the fest waiting for this moshxcore band to hurry up, ha. I'm updating from my phone. Anyways, basic vanilla cake, vegan cream filling, covered in rich chocolate ganche, & a cherry on top. 'cause its cute.

Crucial Cupcake

not really its a mint cookies & cream cupcake & Chris Crucial. So the combination of Crucial and Cupcake just work. Don't they? I think so. This picture rules. Why? because its of a cupcake, an awesome friend, and The CYC! That is why. Why does Chris look excited? because he is about to bite into a peace of heaven one would call it. I don't believe in heaven but if heaven taste like Stay Sweet Cupcakes then I am all for it. I guess.
this weekend is Cali Love Fest!
Roll out if you are near Sanger, it will be fun.
I will be selling cupcakes! I hope I get a few others to take pictures with their Stay Sweet Cupcake, so I can blog about it. :]

Cupcake Contest

While picking up a meal from Food Not Bombs in downtown Fresno. My intentions of getting my hands on some tasty vegan soup were met, well, I didn't get my hands on soup I got my hands on some yummy pasta. Its always a good thing when its cold in Fresno. I was told about a cupcake contest going on Dec. 10th 2009. Its a benefit for Food Not Bombs (if you decide to sell your cupcakes) which I am down for. I love what FNB does for the community. So, the contest part there are three catagories: Most Creative, Best Tasting, & Best Decorated. One wins a price if they are chosen. I don't know the word on the street who will be the judge but I think StaySweetCupcakes has a big chance of being the lucky one of these three. Anyone can enter. $3 gets you a place. You bring your cupcake/cupcakes. Remember this is a nonprofit everyone is welcomed t attend no money will be made (to yourself) but will be benefitting F.N.B. So if you are interest or have questions email: RTASAMI@GMAIL.COM

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!

Stay Sweet Cupcakes Order

I just got back from delivering the first order of Stay Sweet Cupcakes to a lovely lady named Linda. (pumpkin spice) I hope that these are not the last order I will be getting from her. :) I hope there are more in the future. This along with other orders really keep me on track to what I plan on doing for the rest of my life. When I'm in my kitchen baking away I forget about the stress I encounter at school, the world, with bills, people.. you get the idea! Ugh, anyways. I'm happy when I'm baking. I'm glad I found my niche in life. I honestly do not know how it came along. Its in myblood? Ha. Tomorrow I have another order for a Giant cupcake! It will be a cookies&cream one. I'm excited to bake it & I'm also excited to post pictures. Well, I have homework to finish before this night is over. Thanks for reading if you do. I still have a few shirts left over & patches! Email me if you are interested! Or if you have a question on the prices of the cupcakes. Or if you just want
to email me.

S'more please

& Thank you.
If you haven't heard of a S'more or never had the chance to eat one of these treats of the fat gods. Than you haven't lived. I think you should pull aside all of your plans & go out into the neck of the woods and set up camp. Start a fire and roast some marshmallows vegan/nonvegan melt some chocolate grab some gram crackers and start going at it. S'mores that is! Do it. You won't be sorry. Unless you hate the outdoors (which would be weird) Or you can bust a college move and melt some chocolate in your microwave ( that thing that heats up breakfast, lunch & dinner) roast marshmallows over your gas oven and steal gram crackers next time you visit your parents and or family members who actually have food in their homes, ha. Gather your roommates and enjoy some S'mores. Or if you aren't just into the whole working process of actually making everything and putting it together yourself. Call me up I'll whip you up some S'more cupcakes for $12 bucks a dozen. You won't be disappointed.
