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.

cupcake day in Los Olivos

On 2/28 we had “cupcake day” at Saarloos & Sons “house” tasting lounge in Los Olivos (Santa Ynez Valley).  It was super fun!   A fellow blogger (sweet remembrance) posted these pics and I just had to “steal” them (I was too busy to take good pics myself that day).   I got a lot of inquires about the “lollicakes”...”what are those???”

They are my recycled approach to baking!  All cupcakes have the centers cored out to allow generous room for gooey & whippy fillings, so I make cupcakes on a stick with the excess!

 The second fav of the day was the Pomegranate Chardonnay (made with S&S “Daughters” wine)... Chocolate Blackberry Syrah cupcake was #1.

new kitchen, new cupcake, new blog!

Enjoy cupcakes blog is finally born, an outlet for posting new flavors, events, dessert experiments, foodie ramblings, etc.  I spent the wee hours of the morning working in a  new (to me!) kitchen.  The goal - experiment and get familiar with the ovens.  The result - a fairly ugly, yet delicious butterscotch, fudge, caramel cupcake!  A brown sugar cake with a rich, silky, fudge filling, butterscotch sour cream frosting, topped with fudge & caramel drizzles!  Enjoy.
