I've MOVED!

Maybe you wondered why it's been so long since I've written. Or maybe not :) But if you have wondered, it's because I've moved. Before Puerto Rico, I lived in the Chicagoland area. I have recently moved back. Now that I have my mixer and mixing bowls from storage, I've started baking and am back in business!

Please continue to email me with any orders and visit my Facebook site as I update it the most. It's still Amy's Cupcakes - Puerto Rico because I can't change the name.

Here's some cupcakes I recently made: Carrot with pecans and Chocolate Brownie (one of my favorites!)

Bridal Shower cupcakes

My client sent me a picture of some beautiful cupcakes. Being so hot and humid in Puerto Rico, I thought the frosting wouldn't hold up to the heat. Luckily, I was wrong. I love the flower look of these cupcakes!

Birthdays!

Wow, I had no idea I would be so busy for Administrative Professional's Day. Thank you to everyone who placed an order!!

I've done a few birthdays lately. One was unusual or at least it was for me! The characters are from the Go Go Crazy Bones, which is quite popular.. who knew!!

The ones I re-created are: Cody, Hiraku and Tut. I've actually grown quite fond of them now :) Both sets of pictures are for the same birthday boy. He was lucky enough to get to celebrate twice.

The Go Go cupcakes are both Chocolate and Vanilla, with Chocolate and Vanilla frosting.
The sports cupcakes are Chocolate with Vanilla frosting.

Chocolate and Marshmallows!!

After tasting a great chocolatey marshmallow cupcake at a bakery, I've been wanting to try one for awhile. I experimented some time ago with regular marshmallows. It didn't turn out too well :(
I thought I'd try again! This time, I decided NOT to bake them inside the cupcake. I made the marshmallows, added them to the baked cupcake and voila, soooo good! It's been added to my personal list of favorites :)

They are chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow inside and a chocolate glaze on top. Here's the inside:

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Not too long ago, I made some cupcakes with silver glitter on top. Very fun!! So, the customer called for a birthday order, and we decided on pink glitter for her Cookies and Cream cupcakes. Who knew there was a whole world of edible glitter out there! I love the pink, being the girly-girl that I am.


I had another birthday request from someone who was out of town and couldn't be there to celebrate with her boyfriend. I hope he liked his cupcakes and thought of her while eating them :) They are Chocolate Brownie with White Chocolate frosting.



Before the birthdays, I had an order for an anniversary. This was especially fun because the client and I worked together to come up with an idea. She had some great thoughts. Here's the finished product. They were 1/2 Red Velvet and 1/2 Chocolate with Vanilla frosting.

Flavor of the Month - October

October is here and in many places, it feels like fall! Although it doesn't feel like fall in Puerto Rico, October does bring us all Chocolate Cupcake Day on October 18th.

So... what a perfect month to have Chocolate as the Flavor of the Month cupcake.

Chocolate, Mexican Chocolate, Double Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Brownie are all included.

Flavor of the Month - September

September's Flavor of the Month is here!
Sorry I'm late, but I was trying out a few things and just couldn't decide.
The new flavor is Smores. It's a chocolate chip, graham cracker cupcake with chocolate frosting and home made marshmallows.

This was fun to make, as I've never made my own marshmallows before. Surprisingly, they're not that hard.

I just wish it wasn't quite so warm here so I could enjoy them in some hot chocolate!

Introducing Mexican Chocolate!

I tried a new flavor and found that I like it quite a bit. It's Mexican Chocolate, which is a combination of cinnamon and chocolate. The cupcake is chocolate and cinnamon, and the frosting is cinnamon.
Of course, I knew I'd like the chocolate part but wasn't sure about the spice factor of the cinnamon. Turns out, as many people already knew, the two go great together.

Double Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

I've been staying busy baking! I recently made Grama's cupcakes: Double Chocolate Chip cupcake with a Chocolate glaze. These may be my favorites so far! Tastes just like Grama's Chocolate Cake!

I'm updating this post because I made these in mini form for an order. The picture is below.
