  • September’s Cupcake of the Month - Raspberries & Cream

    Entry posted September 16th, 2011

    This month’s Cupcake of the Month/Cupcake CSA deliveries went out on Wednesday! The small box had three each of chocolate and vanilla cucpakes with vanilla buttercream and raspberries, designed in three different ways. I really love variety, and I’m thinking about offering two flavors in upcoming deliveries. I know, then you will be forced to either choose or eat more cupcakes - definitely a difficult life here. Just a reminder that the subscriptions are available with dairy or vegan.

    Next month? Lemon Buttermilk!

  • New Website (and a Report from the Weekend!)

    Entry posted June 20th, 2011

    I’ve been so excited to be working with Derek Hogue on the site design the last few weeks and everything is going great! I should be able to debut it soon, and it’s possible that you might see a pretty cupcake like the one above on the front page of the site.

  • Celebrating Love with Cake

    Entry posted June 12th, 2011

    Sometimes, you know, people just can’t make up their minds about what flavor they want. Which I don’t really mind, but then when I am choosing a photo for the blog I have to try and pick not just the best photo, but also which of the five things I baked I want to feature.

  • Gluten-free Chocolate Cupcakes

    Entry posted May 30th, 2011

    So, as I expand Angel Cakes, I’m getting a lot of pressure to include gluten-free cupcakes in my menu. This weekend was all about making great strides in that direction: I tested three chocolate cupcake recipes, all vegan and gluten free.

  • Trio of Red Cupcakes

    Entry posted May 19th, 2011

    Some things are just *so* pleasing and you can’t really figure out why. Take this trio of red cupcakes for example - strawberry, red velvet, salted chocolate - all together in one little box. Why is this half dozen box just the most pleasing thing ever? Maybe it’s just me.

  • Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange and Raspberry

    Entry posted May 7th, 2011

    First and most importantly, the cupcakes pictured here are mini vegan cupcakes, chocolate orange and chocolate raspberry, with vanilla frosting and garnish - fresh raspberries or homemade candied orange peels. I used this recipe for the orange peels, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be!

  • Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes with Cinnamon and Chili

    Entry posted April 28th, 2011

    I love these simple cupcakes. A chocolate cupcake with cinnamon and chili, which offers an unexpected spicy flavor.They are easy to make - take your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and add one teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder for each dozen cupcakes.  These happen to be vegan, and topped with powdered sugar to not overwhelm the spices.

    Entry posted March 12th, 2011

    This morning were 180 cupcakes for Sky & Erin’s wedding, the colors were navy and white. And what a gorgeous day for a celebration - it’s definitely spring here.

  • Salted Chocolate Cupcakes - Three Ways

    Entry posted March 4th, 2011

    Salted chocolate cupcakes, peach colored, three ways. I was pretty hesitant on the color, but I think it came out gorgeous - which probably has more to do with the beautiful morning sunlight than anything, really. These were for Jon and Danielle (Happy Birthday!).
