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.

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.

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! :)
