The brave little cupcake

A new trend in recent years has began popping up in bakery's across the nation.. Connoisseur Cupcakes! They come in many variations of flavors, icing types, and can be molded into almost every shape you could imagine! Not to sound like a news paper ad, but Sprinkle's Cupcakes has got it all!

Grocery stores sell basic white or chocolate cupcakes with White or Chocolate icing.. but why not go all out and make flavored cupcakes? Albertson's Bakeries have recently began to pick up on the trend, although the cake itself is still very basic the icing flavors are not. The flavors range from Strawberry, Peanut Butter, Mint, Cookies and Cream, and so much more! At $.60 per cupcake they are definitely as cheap as they come. The high end bakery's like Sprinkle's Cupcakes come in many different varieties at a hefty price tag of $3.25 per cupcake. Check out their cupcake throwdown with Bobby Flay

I titled these cupcakes as "psychedelic", They were created for a customer order for a New Year's Eve Party. The customer was quite upset saying that they didn't like them.. :( Well Boo f'ing hoo! I thought they were awesome. While not amazing in flavor, the above cupcakes were awesome looking and definitely worthy of notice from my readers.

Van Gogh's "Starry Night", this cupcake cake is by far some of the best work I have ever seen! I aspire to create amazing works of art like this cupcake cake. Who says you can't be an artist while playing with your food?

    Those cupcakes are cool, and someone telling you they didn't like them is like telling an artist they don't like the portrait they drew. They can suck it.

    Wow that van Gogh one is awesome. Keep practicing and I'm sure you will get to that level. These kind of cakes make me shudder (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wGr8njEWjtI/S6_LmM4-OsI/AAAAAAAAHtw/9eg2RLu6UoE/s1600/anne+b.ow.rabbit.bmp)

    There is a specialty cup cake shop down on the university and its a nice little treat. Your prices are much better though!

Mission Impossible:CAKE IMPOSSIBLE!

When did it become okay to order a cake at last minute? Did I miss the memo?!?! In the past 3 days I have completed nine last minute cake orders.. most of them to be completed within 10-20 minutes. I almost feel like Robert Irvine in "Dinner Impossible" when he's trying to complete an amazing event in an impossible amount of time. I've had customers ask for a few rediculous cake orders, one for example was a customer who wanted a 3-tier Fairytopia cake and they wanted the cake in 2 hours.  Even if I didn't have that much to do, I still would have told the customer no, and in fact I did tell the customer no.  I hate to turn down the extra money, but I just can't decorate under intense pressure like that.  In my last blog I talked about my ability to decorate cakes fast, but those cakes are just so basic that even 4-5 minutes for a basic double layer cake isn't unheard of. Now for the icing on the cake (so to speak): I had a customer come in yes

5 Minutes to sugar heaven

I totally spaced my monday blog...  I'll make it quick and fun :) Cupcake porn? The almighty cupcake makes it's return to the blog scene.. I've been playing around with some new flavors of cupcakes, flavor combinations like Chocolate strawberry decadence (chocolate cupcake filled with strawberry filling topped off with a poured dark chocolate).  I also have the White cupcake filled with strawberry filling, a layer of thin sliced banana's all topped off with whip cream and coconut shavings.  I've had a really hard time finding a name for that last one, so if you can come up with something... by all means let me know  :D   Pictures soon to come!!!  It's strawberry season so lets experiment

Vanilla Ice Ice Baby

Who says your birthday cake has to be warm?  Last time I checked it's just starting to heat up, and that generally means everything must be cold...  Iced tea, iced soda, cold showers, and cold cake?  Psssh, why not just go with the new American fad, the ice cream cake. Sure you could always go with a basic crappy Carvel ice cream cake, but why not take it up a notch and get an awesome cake from Cold Stone Creamery.  I try not to be the advertising guru for them, but they really deserve the attention.  Cold stone has a variety of ice cream, everything from the basic Vanilla to the Cake batter ice cream. If you haven't tried the cake batter ice cream, then I suggest you find the nearest cold stone and sample it.  mmmm yum I know that Ice Cream isn't really a cake product, but it's definitely earned its right to be called that at cold stone creamery.  For the hefty price tag of almost double a grocery store's prices you too can have a tasty birthday treat.
