vIce Cream Cakev





So, I made it. It was made. People enjoyed it. It ruled. It will come up again. Well, Tuesday I have an order for one. I'm excited. It will be way better, duh. I can't wait. Strawberries and chocolate, yum. Well, here are some pictures from this cake. It was made with my favorite ice cream cherry chocolate chip. and I'm sure you can figure out the rest. I know this is not a cupcake related post but it sure is blog worthy. I will soon sometime make a cupcake version and the world would be a better place.
Well, I lied there are some cupcakes in this post. Just plain chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. They didn't sell as well as my other flavors, I wonder why.

Music Video, New Recipes, other things and Shirts!

Yeahhhhhhhh, you read right a music video for the sweet songs vxdedxv writes for Stay Sweet, why? because it would be something fun to do in the Summer, it would promote friendships between the kids in the hardcore punk scene, it will promote the venues of Fresno, The most, the circle pit, and uhh cupcakes!!?!? and most of all it will definitely forever promote DIY.So.....stay tuned! Will be posting up more info trying to do this by the end of this Summer (free cupcake for anyone in the video) how can you resist that? I have a few ideas in mind but I am open to hearing others. Maybe this would take place before a show starts and we can all have fun. Thats all I want and anyone who wants their three seconds of fame can have that. But please remember if you do want to help out, have fun, and want to be part of this don't be a knucklehead and start fights/say rude stuff/ or be a total ass. That is something I don't want this to be a part of, so if you think this is a dumb idea, don't be in it.

On to sweeter things

Also, Stay Sweet will be having new shirts possibly very limited as soon as I save up enough money (which means as soon as save up a few pay checks) I'm going to try to keep them under ten dollars so everyone can support their favorite vcupcakesv by everyone I mean you! and most of you already know what these next shirts will a rip off of..if you have check it www.myspace.com/StaySweetCupcakes while you are there check out the Stay Sweet Core song (that will be the one in the music video) Anyways, a few minor changes I might make before submitting the final draft. like adding a few things that makes it more of a baking shirt than a hardcore band shirt..I want to keep these to a limited edition as well, so, as soon as they are gone, they will be gone foreveer( this time they will be professionally made(well, they will be made by experience people) But I am looking to find a company that is still a very small diy like company to get them from.


On to the sweet rotting teeth stuff...

I have been working on tons of new recipes and still have lots of recipes that need to be done twice, if you are interested in being a test human and are not afraid to eat any cupcake, let me know. So far this week I'm hoping to do an vegan ice cream cake and then possibly vegan ice cream cupcakes. Hopefully I can post that this weekend. But that is just one of many I have in mind. If any bands who are not from Fresno and are on tour care for a dozen or two I won't mind baking extra for five bucks a dozen(since I know you are on tour and money can be tight) just hit me up a week in advance and please have cash in hand. I haven't had much request by bands and I never really did an actual order, but I want to see if this is a good idea so if you are reading this and are in a band that will be coming/playing Fresno soon let me know if you want cupcakes. Also, come see me at a cyc and say HI and let me know what you think of the cupcakes or if there are any flavors you want to try/ or want to see at the next show. I will do my best to meet those request, don't be afraid. I like to think of myself as an awesome person to know, just don't get on my bad side.

and sweet designs

If you have a cupcake design or logo you just doodled down while you were thinking about a cupcake from yours truly and want to see it posted in Stay Sweet Cupcakes album (on myspace) email them to me! That would be sweet! :)

Anyways, Thats all the sweet updates I have for now. Thanks if you read it all, fuck you if you scrolled down and scanned the page for pictures. jk

Stay Sweet!

RAGE. New Song



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.
When I get sent pictures I get all excited and always think about tons of things to write. Then when I come to post about it, I forget what I wanted to say. Ha, fml. Anyways, these two dudes rule. vxdedxv does all of my sweet Stay Sweet songs, which mean a lot to me. He also helps with trying to get my name out there and real supportive which I think is sweet. So, make some time to check this dude out! He was on a comp cd with other vegan straight edge rappers.

This next rad dude is John from pg. 63 wearing the first and only SSC shirt black on black, it was really hard to depart from this T-shirt since it was righteous. Just look at the damn picture its fucking rad, black on black. But I think it went to a good home and I'm glad he knows how to rock it. It was awesome meeting this dude a few months back when he toured with DEAD ICONS, Solid dudes and definitely worth checking out as well!

Coconut Raspberry Cupcakes






Say what? Yup, you heard right. Righteous Raspberry w/coconut, I think that will be the name of these cupcakes. Sweet. But really, Sweet is what you get when you bite into this cupcake it just leaves you wanting more and more. These are truly the cupcake you want in your mouth, it will be the best combination, ever. Trust me. I don't know words can't really describe what you get out of the cupcakes, well, more words can't. Its a coconut cake, filled with raspberry filling, topped with a piece of coconut cake, topped with raspberry frosting and then topped with coconut, yum. You just got to try one and believe me you won't be disappointed. These like my Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes were invented by me and someone craving something more. My friend vxdedxv wanted a mixture of raspberry and coconut and I definitely came up with this recipe as I was in the kitchen, I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but it all came out rad. Like always right? :) As of now I am back in school, no more Spring Break, bummer. I have about a month left so thats sweet business. Then Summer vacation is here to be all hot and rad, along with Summer I'm going to introduce more fruit cupcakes because sometimes its too hot to just eat a reg. cupcake, or is it?




P.s
Go to this show tonight!!

Cherry Limeade Cupcakes






I picked up some cherry extract and got carried away, today I baked Chocolate Cherry Bombz, and the other day (Thursday) made these bad boys Cherry Limeade, remember the soda? that was the best. I'm sure they still have it around. I just haven't found it, which, is a good thing. That is the last thing that needs to be on my mind and in my body. Anyways, These were made for a show, what it consisted of was cherry, lime and cake, yumminess in all. I think it felt more like spring when these cupcakes where sold at this show. That is going to be my goal for this Summer, bake more fresh fruit cupcakes. But, the only downfall, I would have to sell them at a dollar instead of .50, but common, its not that much of a difference. I need new ideas for cupcake flavors. Oh yeah, I might also introduce vegan ice cream cupcakes, I have done regular ice cream cupcakes before (very time consuming) but very very worth while, anyways, that might also be on the menu, for those of you planning on ordering or going to shows in the Summer. Look out!
Here is what I sold today at Chinese New Year 2010:

(Mint Cookies&Cream, Peanut Butter Bombs, Chocolate Cherry Bombz, & Coconut Lime Cupcakes)

And here are a few still imagines that captured some of my funfilled day:


So, I have been thinking about this, it was brought to my attention. I can in a way "promote" bands with Stay Sweet Cupcakes(of course I have no money to give, but!), as they come through Fresno and every time they stop to play or whatever I will bake them a dozen of cupcakes of their choice as long as they help spread the word on Stay Sweet Cupcakes, if you are interested and are in a band and some how read this boring blog and tour quite a lot and love cupcakes hit me up! that would be rad. two things I love supporting bands and spreading the love for cupcakes.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake!?

Yes, you read right. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcake until I find a sweet new name to call it. Yes, its vegan. Yes, this is my first attempt. Yes, this is not the final cupcake. Yes, there will be other variations. So please sit tight, :). This idea came from a good friend. We were discussing cupcakes, duh. We actually were talking about how bad ass mint cookies and cream cupcakes were and then that led to how rad mint chip ice was and then that led to chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and then it led me to create this:


So, lets talk about this cupcake. It contains cinnamon, cookie dough, and regular vanilla buttercream (for now). As a cupcake they were pretty rad. Definitely a crowd pleaser, but I definitely want to change up the recipe next time. Aside from that. This weekend I baked tons of cupcakes including these Funfetti cupcakes, and I don't think my last funfetti post got a good picture so here are a few:



Go to this show!

So, You wanna talk, cupcake?







If someone used that pick up line on me, I'd probably instantly rip my heart out and give them it, not really. That does not even make any sense. But what does make sense is having cupcakes a your birthday party, duh.
A very lovely lady and very awesome friend of mine purchased a few dozen of cupcakes to have at her birthday, she was kind of enough to let me do them for her! I was definitely down and really happy she wanted me to bake them up for her and best of all make them completely vegan! (she is not vegan!) that was the best part. I had this order since January! So, of course I was surprised this day was finally here (March 7th, 2010) I know, I know, I've been slacking with these updates, I hardly ever have free time anymore, school is killing me, I'm getting as much help as I need, I'm putting in job applications every where, ugh, enough about me it came pretty fast, if you ask me. But don't because I just told you. So, anyways. Her order consisted of four dozens: Red Velvet (Red Head), Color me stoked, Punk n spice, and Blue Berry Lemon creme. An order that is full of flavor. Tons of yumminess! YUM YUM YUMS. I took a few pictures of the Blueberry Lemon creme, but not of the rest! which bums me out, :(. But, its alright, I was lucky enough that she had took a few pictures of them at her party. rad.

on another note today is my dad's birthday: Happy Birthday pops! Love you much!
