Why are cupcakes so popular?

2010-04-04T14:39:00.000-07:00

We were asked repeatedly at the Tacoma Wedding Expo "Why is there such a growing trend in cupcakes?" My best reply to that is VERSATILITY!

Cupcakes are just like your favorite black dress. You can dress it up or down to the occasion and they always please! The versatility is amazing.

Cupcakes aren't just for children's birthdays! Cupcakes are hand held pieces of cake that DO NOT require a plate and fork or the additional cost to serve them. The nice part about cupcakes,at any event, is that you can have many flavors to please all of your guests. You can also accommodate for anyone who is vegan or diabetic or has allergies to wheat or gluten.
Icing on the cake: is that you can also make them bite size. Bite size cupcakes are great for guests wanting to try many flavors, people watching their health, and kids!

Cupcakes are also great for unique displays. Whether you want the look of cake stands or a wedding cake, cupcakes can accomplish any look.

If you want the look of a wedding cake without the cost, check out our newest additions:

Falling Behind

2010-03-31T00:47:00.000-07:00

Okay so we have already fallen behind on the 365! I was never very good with new years resolutions so I kinda figured I would we bad at this too!

Tacoma Dome Wedding Expo was awesome! We won the Best New Vendor Award! I'm so happy that everyone is liking what we are doing and is supporting us all the way. I would like to thank everyone and give you all 50% off all cupcakes, except wedding cupcakes, for the next week.

Goal for upcoming week is to update the website with new cake pictures. (please hold me too this)

That's all for now folks,
Cupcake Mama

Update to Vegan Cupcake

2010-03-25T01:21:00.000-07:00

How did your vegan cupcakes turn out? Could you tell they were VEGAN? Let us know.

Ours baked fine and tasted great but the texture was not quite right.

Next recipe to try is a gluten and wheat free lemon cupcake.
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons of honey
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of (rice) vinegar
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1 cup of almond flour (finely ground, blanched almonds)
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp simply organic lemon flavor
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Separate the eggs.
3. Beat the egg whites and vinegar until stiff peaks form.
4. Mix the yolks with honey, baking soda, and coconut oil, zest and flavoring.
5. Add the lemon juice to the yolk mixture and mix well. The lemon juice will activate the mixture and it will expand.
6. Add the cup of almond flour to the yolk mixture.
7. Fold the almond/yolk mixture into the egg whites.
8. Pour into a muffin tray lined with cupcake liners. Fill to the top of each liner. Makes about 8 cupcakes
9. Cook for 17 minutes until the cupcakes spring back. Cupcakes will deflate a little when cooling.

Porter Cupcakes

2010-03-25T01:18:00.000-07:00

Okay so who would have thought that beer in a cupcake would have tasted soooooo good? Our new porter cupcake has a mix of beers, including Guiness. Hope you all can try one at the Tacoma Dome Expo this weekend. Stop by and get a free sample!
