Rolled Change


The beginning is hard, harder than I thought it would be. Coming up with all these delicious ideas for cupcakes and designs is easy, actually getting them to turn out like planned is a different story. I have all these ideas for big things, but I have to wait until one puzzle piece falls into place before I can even think of picking up a new one.

Thing are rolling slowly, but I’m baking my cupcakes part time due to having to work a 9-5 to pay the bills and saving every penny to launch my business. I had to roll change to get a domain/website up and running, so like I said every penny is being saved. Still taking advantage of all the free stuff that comes along with the domain purchase until I can sell enough cupcakes and merchandise to upgrade from free hosting, so I can make the site everything it should be & more. I’m even searching out coupons to help out with the purchase of all things needed and wanted to bake my cupcakes and get them out to the world!
We have so many ideas for shirts, aprons, and other amazing cupcake merchandise. Keep and eye out for new links & pictures going up for new tasty cupcakes and merchandise. Remember to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace.
For all the cupcake lovers out there stop by our “Contact Us” link and try some of our yummy sweet treats. There all hand delivered within the local Tampa Bay area.

Yumminess

I would like to announce the Dreamsicle now has pictures, we are working at a slow and steady pace. Making sure we dot our I's and cross our t's to make sure everything is in order as we start this new part of our lives. Leaving no stone un-turned as we don't want any surprises when we bring our fabulous Electric Cupcakes to the masses.

Dreamsicle

We will be make a yummy St Patty's Day cupcake. Most likely my husbands (and mine too) favorite drink for that special day, an Irish Car Bomb cupcake or to be known as I.C.B. We also have a few other St. Pattys Day ideas for cupcakes so be on the lookout as you can never be too sure what will come out of the Electric Cupcakes kitchens. So make sure to stay up to date on all things Electric Cupcakes by following us on Twitter, Like us on Facebook and if you still use the old dinosaur of Myspace you can find us there too.

So the husband and I planned taco night with one of our dearest friends, so of course what do I do..? I come up with a custom Taco Night inspired cupcake. It started with a delicious sweet but yet spicy vanilla cupcake with mexican inspired chocolate pudding that we stuffed inside the soft cupcake and topped it all off with a yummy cinnamon buttercream. It was to die for or better yet it was siesta worthy. We haven't been able to think of a proper name for it yet, so its going by "Taco Night" in our house, but it will be on the menu as soon as we decide on a name for this amazing cupcake. If anyone has any ideas for a name please feel free to email electric cupcakes, comment on the blog, or write on our FB wall. We love to hear what our fans and friends think and we are always open to new ideas or just a concept that we can translate into cupcake form for all to enjoy.

Taco Night


So as I was walking around one of the largest liquor stores in my area I suddenly felt inspired. So the hunt began, I wanted a cupcake flavor to come out of this store! So after a bit of shopping around for the perfect liqueur to make this cupcake, I believe I have found it. It combines two of my favorite taste as well, so it has to be a win-win right..?.... After taste testing I think it would make a wonderful addition to frosting too, so now all that's left is to sit down and come up with the perfect cupcake recipe to mesh it all together into absolute yumminess!

We have been rolling around ideas about doing a make your own cupcake. We will list all of our yummy cupcakes flavors, then a list of fillings that we can stuff into any of our cupcakes, and to top it all off a list of all of our delicious frostings for everyone to pick and choose from and at the end of the month we will post the winning cupcake, its name, pictures and most likely make the winner a free cupcake or 2. Pictures and details will be posted on the website, Facebook and Myspace as always. So be on the look out for that in the coming months. If you can't wait just send us your ideas or thoughts that you would like to see in cupcake form, we love hearing from all of you. Be sure to tell your friends and family about ElectricCupcakes.com

Thanks and goodnight!

21 & Up Cupcakes

Yes you read that right we made cupcakes for adults. Although some of the alcohol does evaporate during the baking process but we made sure to leave enough in there to let you know this cupcake is for the more mature crowd!
Be sure to check our new arrivals area of our scrumptious menu:

*I.C.B - A tremendously tasty Guinness extra stout chocolate cupcake stuffed with a shot of gooey Jameson caramel and topped with a delicious Bailey's Irish buttercream. The availability is March only for this delicious cupcake.
I.C.B

*J. Bomb - Chocolate Jager cupcake topped with Redbull buttercream. They both taste just like the drink; only they go down smoother and sweeter.Jbomb

We also made a kid friendly St. Patrick's Day cupcake so the kiddies didn't feel left out.
*Leprechaun's Gold - Our standard chocolate and vanilla cupcake with leprechaun's gold buttercream.
LepGold



Just want to say thanks to the Land O’ Lakes Beef ‘O’Brady’s for their St Patrick’s day order and a thanks to all the customers who enjoyed our I.C.B’s and the kiddies that ate up our Leprechaun's gold cupcakes. We had a great time that night and we hope JT Curtis and The Silver Eagle Band enjoyed their J.Bomb cupcakes we baked just for them!

We are still looking for a new name for our "Taco Night" cupcake. If anyone has any ideas on a name feel free to email us at
info@ElectricCupcakes.com
, reply to our blog, write on our wall via Facebook (Electric Cupcakes), or reply to us via Twitter (@purecupcakery). If we can’t figure a good enough name this poor cupcake will be known as “Taco Night” forever…come to think of it, that’s not such a bad name. Whats your opinion?

I will be working on a Fruity Pebble cupcake this week. It will be a cupcake for a special someone in my life..... My Mommy! She LOVES Fruity Pebbles as do I, and I thought this would be the perfect thing to make. Plus who doesn’t love seeing new cupcakes and everyone around here loves being guinea pigs to all my new creations, so be one the look out for that tasty creation coming soon!

I will be posting a blog for the "Make Your Own Cupcake" idea I had, I figure it will give everyone a chance to create a cupcake they would like to see us make and possibly be featured on our menu. It’s most likely going to be a big list of our cake flavors, frosting flavors and all the yummy things we can stuff into out delicious cupcakes.

I want to send a special Thanks to everyone that likes our FB fan page and all the supporters we have. Keep sharing our FB page, site, twitter, and everything else that has to do with Electric Cupcakes. So Thank You!!!

Happy Birthday

So my youngest son turned 11 April 6th and he loves everything penguin, so that's exactly what I made for him. The look on his face when he saw them was priceless.

So we tried making a cupcake with fruity pebbles and we were successful and we decided to name it "Pebbles" - Its a vanilla cupcake with crushed up fruity pebbles with a creamy vanilla buttercream frosting topped with fruity pebbles. First of many to come to our cereal cupcake line.

Pebbles

So I went to the store to buy dried cherries for a cupcake recipe idea I had and on accident picked up dried cranberries soaked in cherry juice. So I decide to turn a mistake into something yummy so I made cranberry-cherry cupcakes with orange buttercream. They turned out pretty good but needed a little bit more cranberry flavor. So I tweaked the recipe and plan to try again soon. I've heard no complaints about this one though, but I wasn't 100% happy.

I made our "Almost Famous" - Devils food cupcake with marshmallow cream filling, chocolate Ganache icing, piped with E-C's, and they turned out amazing. From the feed back it tastes better then the one on the grocery store shelves.

Orders, Orders, Orders

Well I have been really busy with order after order. My husband started a new job and everyone from his work is ordering cupcakes. I even got a request to be in the business column of the St. Pete Times, very exciting. I have a few new cupcakes I want to experiment with so be on the lookout for new and exciting cupcakes.

We found out a few weeks back that we are going to have a baby which is exciting as well. I have been looking through pictures of baby shower cakes and cupcakes trying to decide what type I want to make for my baby shower. If anyone has any cute ideas they would like to share and me do please feel free to leave a comment or email me at

New Year

I hope everyone’s year started off wonderful. My year is great, slow but great. I have been slowly working on all my cupcake recipes and trying to get everything up and going. I recently tried my hand at making a 3d cake for my son for his 13th birthday, it came out pretty good for my first go (but there is lots of room for improvement). My husband’s birthday is next and I’m pretty sure of what I want to do but not 100%.

The Elvis cupcakes are back for the month of January, so make sure you get your order in before it leaves the building.
