A dozen.



I never really make a dozen cupcakes, but that's what was ordered, so I had many extras. :)

They were just chocolate cupcakes with my original frosting. The pink didn't come out how I wanted it but I thought it still looked cute.

Hope they liked it!

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes




Had a very busy weekend filled with cupcakes and dog sitting, but it was a good one, and still not over!

But I had an order to make some strawberry shortcake cupcakes for my aunt and they were gone in seconds! I used a recipie from a very wonderful blog called Sticky Gooey Creamy Chewy. Click here for recipie

I made my own vanilla cupcakes, but did use the Strawberry Gelee and her Strawberry frosting. I was a bit upset how the frosting came out though, not as hard as I wished, something must have gone wrong somewhere, so I didn't pipe it, but still came out tasting great.






Like I said, they went fast.

Definitely going to be a specialty of mine!

How to eat a cupcake.

(Learned this from a Cake Boss episode)

All you do is cut off the bottom with your fingers, or a knife/fork/whatever, and you just put it on top!

Makes it easy to eat, and it makes you look really cool :)

Recipe Book

Went to Office Max today, and saw this super cute composition book. Of course I had to have it, and I've decided to make it into my Pastelito recipe book!



Now I just need to come up with recipes to fill it up!

Cheese Cake!!!

Roger's mom is an awesome cheese cake maker so I asked her for all of her secrets!

With a little bit of cream cheese, condensed milk, vanilla, eggs, lime juice, and 350 heat, I was finished!

And it came out perfect :)




With knowing how to master cheese cake, I am going to make cheese cake cupcakes, and red velvet cake with a layer of cheese cake! Mmmm!!

Some Great Buys.

I went to Half Price Books the other day to buy a summer reading book, and I ran into the food section and found these awesome books for so cheap!!

Only $3 and $5! I couldn't believe it. Definitely going back again for more.
