Lemonhead

Ever wonder why lemon head candy was invented? I don't, I just know they are good until the roof of your mouth starts to hurt. That probably doesn't happen to you, but I know it sure happens to me. That is why I don't eat them a whole lot. Well, back to why this is even the topic. I like lemons not to the point where I have to eat one every day its just sometimes they make food taste better. They also make good for lemonade, tea, and are best at giving you pain with you have small paper cuts on your fingers. Lemons are great. For a cupcake they make me wonder why there are not more lemon related cupcakes on this blog. I don't know I will ask myself that until I have a good honest answer. So, this time I took out my baking supplies and went ahead and busted out the lemons, lemon heads and started and when I was done this was the outcome of all things lemon. Simple, delicious, and full of flavor.

Peanut Butter Jealously...

Yes, be jealous because you are not enjoying this cupcake. Get others jealous when this cupcake is all yours and they can't do anything about it, but stare at it wishing it was about to enter their mouths...instead of yours..

Here is a cupcake that I have been getting request from random people and I just didn't know how to approach the idea. Its hard enough to just decide on a certain recipe let alone make up another one and go with that. So, by this time I had been asked over and over again and I felt it was time to go ahead and make another one. I got tired of taking repeats to shows and selling them. I want to give people a variety and I want them to know I am capable of more flavors and cupcakes. I kind of brought this upon myself I asked what people wanted to buy for the next show and sure enough peanut butter and jelly was part of that request. So, here it is.

Peanut butter cake, famous peanut butter frosting, and jelly (Strawberry!). I didn't get any negative feedback, so I guess I'll leave this recipe alone until I do.

Couch Potatoes get stoked!

Now you can have your usual couch potato snacks all in one single cup and you don't even have to get up to grab more chips or more sweets its all right there in that sweet individual cake cup like snack. Yeah, I answered your prayers, and I am the queen lord of cupcakes and everything you ever imagined, but how I hate the stage potatoes at shows I hate a couch potato more....so don't ask me to marry you if this is your cupcake....or if you're a stage potato
I didn't actually come up with this idea at all. It was not my original idea so I should not and do not want to take credit for it, But I did come up with the veganized cupcake instead of a 'traditional' cupcake. So, if you want to give me credit for that I'll take it. :) I found this recipe while surfing the net, yeah, I like to look at blogs, cupcakes, recipes, and cupcake related things online, judge me. I was excited and surprise to come across this recipe, I don't remember where I found it or how I found it I just did. So, I can't direct you or point you in the direction of the creator, sorry. I apologize. I can however give you this picture and the cupcake itself.
First of all, I know this isn't the best combination and I know this isn't the best option. I just thought it was a fun recipe and idea to test out. Of course I'm not going to say hey eat one of these all day everyday fucker and get sick. I might say try one so you know how the flavors combine. Sweet, salty, and such a weird combination. I think this cupcake is really whole love it or hate it cupcake. Its not a cupcake everyone will enjoy. I know that. If you bite into it and realize that this was the missing piece to your life puzzle then you're welcome, but if you bite into it and want to immediately want to split it out then at least you tried it. And you can still brag to your girlfriend/boyfriend, friends, people you meet, and your family members about how you tried a potato chip cupcake once...and it was even vegan...

Big things ahead

That's right the title doesn't lie. There are many things ahead for Stay Sweet Cupcakes and I'm glad to announce them. Fall is in and the holidays are coming up. That only means more orders and more excuses to bake. I am very happy for that. I know I said maybe next post I'll blog about the potato chip cupcake, but I didn't make a potato chip cupcake this time. I did however make a strawberry cupcake. That I don't think I have ever introduced to this blog. Well, here it is a strawberry/vanilla cake topped with strawberry buttercream and topped with freshly chopped strawberries and chocolate, yum. This is just the start of this recipe. I plan on putting more strawberries for the lovers of strawberries. Anyways, other news, I got asked if I can participate and donate some cupcakes for a Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation event that is happening in Fresno, CA at a local high school. I will donate and also hand out a few business cards that have up to 50% off the next stay sweet cupcake purchase. I hope these are a big hit. I have some creative freedom to these cupcakes, but they asked for most pink and white theme. I have some ideas already and I am already wanting to go ahead and get started on these! But I have to wait. The event is happening Oct. 21st at a volleyball game, I won't be able to be there, but I will still get represented. Which is cool. I have a class I can't afford to miss. Anyways, I'm happy about this and hope this gets me some more customers and gets my name out there. So, with that being said updates will come asap. I also, have an interview for my local school newspaper I was offered to do this on vegan cupcakes, I am happy. This is going to happen tomorrow in the evening I am very nervous but extremely excited, if that even makes any sense. I don't know, but I can't wait. I will definitely blog about it and post pictures and all that fun stuff. Anyways, thats all for now. I hope next update will be about a damn new cupcake! :)

Thanks for reading...(if you did)

On Facebook

now, why? because its the new hot thing. I still love my blogspot forever and ever more, but its cool to get out there. I'm glad I made it within a couple of days I got a lot of people to "like" the page and it feels good, no lie. I have also been leaving my business cards around campus, public places, around Fresno and everywhere I can. haha. And I guess it paid off. I got offered an interview for my schools newspaper which I am really stoked on. I know I will get out there more with that. Also, Oct. 9th a bunch of my friends are having a reunion show (Prove It) an old Fresno band.. which will be fun. They are going to play the Stay Sweet Core song live and record it and my good friend Daniel aka xvdedvx who is also the singer of the band is going to put the video together and get that out there soon I am happy about that. and a little nervous. haha. I have to give some live footage of me baking and shit. Should be fun. I am extremely happy about it. Other than that, I will be testing the Potato Chip cupcake tomorrow, maybe half a dozen and see how that goes.
Thanks for reading if you do. If you are a Facebook user or know of any FB users please help me spread the word. Thank you!

New Recipe(s)

I get crazy ideas and I get loads of influence when I am blogging, walking, sitting, sleeping, eating, window shopping, and webbing it. I am pretty stoked on some new recipes I have came across and some recipes that just floated into my head as I looked around at cupcakes and cupcake decorating tools. Whether I'm at the store or at home or even day dreaming in class I have new recipes on my mind, weird? Probably, but I don't care. I thought a lot about a few that will be mentioned and I have seen a few that I would love to veganized and try out. Soon, if not now. I hate that I can't just go out to the store and buy what I think I might need, because I'm broke. I will make them soon and I'm sure they will be a hit. At least thats what I'm hoping for... So the new flavors that I will be adding to the list of flavors already made and blogged about are listed below


-Potato Chip Chocolate Cupcake
-Blueberry Cobbler Cupcake
-Peach Cobbler Cupcake
-Drumstix Cupcake
-Mango Strawberry Cupcake
and
-Sweet Potato Pie cupcake



Maybe I'll have one of these recipes to share with ya next post.

For now this week I'm working on a few orders and checking out my favorite baseball team in the bay area to once again beat LA.


wait, how did I forget!
The other night which was possibly last week I had made my friends of VULGAR last show cupcakes I got the idea from another friend who text me "Jan make Vulgar cupcakes" at first I was like vulgar cupcakes, gross, okay. But then I realized he was talking about the band. ha ha. So, I decided fuck it sounds awesome and it would probably be the talk of the night, I don't know if it was. It probably wasn't. But they came out pretty fucking rad. I thought so. I don't usually do this type of decorating because my skillz suck duh look at the last post, haha. But I was down to do it anyways...Here they are. I was also listening to minor threat while I was destroying in the kitchen so yeah, that's how that rad cupcake got in there...btw I hate iphone pictures soooooo much I miss my old phone soooo much. :(

BEAT LA cupcakes

because my hate for the LA DODGERS grows every day. No joke, I am definitely not a fan of southern California. Why? because its boring, overrated, and everything there sucks. I don't know what the hype is...I guess that is just me. I love the bay area a lot and with that being said. I love the SF Giants. So, I decided why the hell not go ahead and make some Beat LA and DODGERS SUCK cupcakes for this series when SF was in LA. So, that's exactly what I did. First of all, forgive me for using this shitty camera phone, the iphone rules, but at the same time the picture quality is shit compared to my old phone, which, I do miss and I wish I still had, but that can't happen, because I let someone barrow it and it 'accidentally' broke the next day, bullshit. Anyways, so they didn't come out great on photo as they were in person. It looked like I used paint on some of them and when people saw them they didn't believe it was 'buttercream' and not fondant. oh well, people are going to believe what they want to. So, here are the pictures chocolate cake and buttercream. I didn't eat any because I was pissed about the first game, but we won the last two and took the series and now we are trailing 1 and Padres lose ten games straight. Stoked I am. :)
Anyways, these are not the best, but I know I can do better next time. Maybe I'll do it again when LA comes to SF and I will have a better idea of what I want to do. They will be a million times better trust me. Uhhh, I don't know what else to say.....

Oh yeah, I forgot to sign up for this cake decorating contest at my damn school! :( I was stoked on it and I forgot the last day to sign up was on Friday. I am so sad. I could have won....
