cupcake flavor inspirations....

Rootbeer float?

Many of our customers want to know how / why we come up with certain flavors and the answers are endless!   Our brains never rest from thinking about what the next week's flavors will be!  I am so consumed that I even got inspired for a new frosting application while walking down State St. in Santa Barbara & seeing a woman's super funky, spiky hairstyle. If you have ideas, requests or if you are craving a flavor we've had in the past, don't be shy...PLEASE email or call me.  I want to hear from you!  

This past week we featured a rootbeer float cupcake, inspired by Kevin's (cupcake man) fond childhood memories of consuming the nostalgic indulgence.  The cupcake would not be complete w/o a puddle of rootbeer on top!

Little Helper

This week Opal helped me pick the olallie berries and lemons for 2 new cupcake flavors.   I thought it would be fun to bring her with me, but neglected to realize that she would be in berry heaven and sneak all the merchandise!  She pranced through the rows of berries chanting, "more berry, more berry!"

Come on by this week and try the Olallie Berry Rosé Cupcake!

Rosé infused cake, with a creamy olallie berry filling, topped with fresh olallie berry frosting (the amazing pink color is purely from the yummy berries!).  And while you're here, check out the lemon drop cupcake!

Our new sign is UP!

Hopefully you can find us easier now!

In celebration of the mommy to be

A baby shower!  

The shower was hosted by design genius, Heather Saarloos and catered by the Los Olivos Cafe.

Check out this table decor!!!

For party favors, I made aqua and yellow lollicakes (chocolate & vanilla) to coordinate with the happy color scheme and I served Champagne cupcakes to go along with the bubble theme.

Produce or Cupcakes - how about both?

We set up the Enjoy Cupcake trailer at the Gainey Farmer's Market and had a blast, listening to live music, smelling the amazing lavender at the booth next to us and talking with the customers.

The "Un" Red Velvet Cupcake

In response to popular request, we've created our own version of the famous red velvet cupcake.

As I am sure you can observe - it's not red!  At Enjoy Cupcakes, we don't use any artificial flavors or colors in our cupcakes so we made the "un" red velvet cake (this one's for you Johnny and Suzie!).  It's a cocoa, buttermilk cake, filled with vanilla honey mascarpone mousse, topped with cream cheese frosting.  Come on in and try it...if it's not the best "un" red velvet cake you've ever had, we'll give you your $ back!!!

900 cupcakes...oh my!

My sweet Grandpa told me on Sunday that I looked like a cupcake...maybe it's because I had just baked 900 of them!!!  I think the popular saying, "you are what you eat", should be, "you are what you make!"  

Enjoy cupcakes made 900 cupcakes for a group of very fun people at Bridlewood Estate Winery. The  Guests enjoyed chocolate blackberry syrah, vanilla bean chardonnay & caramel mocha cupcakes.  

The vanilla bean chardonnay cake and frosting were infused with Bridlewood Monterey County Chardonnay.

My sweet uncle (yes, he takes after my sweet Grandpa) asked me if I use instant coffee in the mocha cupcakes.  I replied, "no, I use fresh brewed shots of green star organic, fair trade coffee"...does it get any better than that?

The chocolate blackberry syrah cake was "spiked" with Bridlewood Central Coast Syrah.

honey Easter bunny cupcake!

New cupcake flavor in celebration of Easter!  Opal and her bunny friend are URGING you to come eat the honey Easter bunny cupcake...a moist vanilla cake, injected with a creamy honey filling, topped with cream cheese frosting and drizzled lemon honey.
