Hot Mexican Cupcake (revamp)


Once upon a time, there was a cupcake called "The hot mexican." It was a delicious vanilla cake, topped with spicy buttercream and sprinkled with spicy mexican hot chocolate powder. As a matter of fact I have a picture here.



 It was a really great cupcake! And then...

The store where I bought my hot chocolate powder closed down. I can't express my sadness.

Almost a year later I FINALLY recreated the cupcake and I have to tell you...it's better than the original. And I'm an original addict. I love original movies, (remakes are so hard to redo without it being cheesy.) I love orginal Twinkies...you know, the twinkies they made almost twenty years ago, not the twinkies they sell now.

Anyhoo,

Original lover extraodinare over here LOOOOVES the NEW HOT MEXICAN.

Here it is...ready?





Tadaaaa!!

It's a chocolate cake, spicy vanilla buttercream topped with freshly made spicy streusel topping! Yummy! You can purchase this beauty online as a cupcake in a jar or follow us on facebook and you will be the first to know when it pops up as a cupcake of the day!

You can also special order it. (Minimum 6 regular cupcakes.) Sorry this cupcake is not available in minis.

Candied Apples Cupcake Jubilee Style


We all have those wonderful childhood memories that linger. Mine cosist of weekends at the beach eating Nathan's hot dogs and stopping by Williams candy shop on Surf Avenue. Now that I live in Orlando Florida the nearest beach is 45 minutes away, Nathan's hot dogs are near the airport (20 minutes) and candied apples are hard to find.

I can't replicate a Natahan's hot dog even if I boguht a frozen pack from the store.  So, I decided to make some candied apples instead.

Here's what I made.




Coconut drizzled with chocolate

And................



Butterfinger!! Apples taste so much better with peanut butter!!

Come and get them!!

Stop in at Cupcake Jubilee today to get your candied apples!

Jerk Cupcake

Ever since I joined my best friend to Jamaica to begin filming her Jerk Chicken Documentary I have been obsessed with creating a jerk cupcake. Yes, there is already a spicy cupcake on our menu, "St. Elmo's Fire" but this is a JERK CUPCAKE and it's not just any Jerk seasoning, its WALKERWOODS!!

Real food snobs know that if you're going to eat anything with the word "Jerk" in it, it better be Walkerwoods. I would be lying if I said that I knew anything about jerk foods because I do not. However, I am happily learning.

And today I learned that Restaurant Depot, a wholesale restaurant supplier in Orlando carries Walkerswoods products. I was sad that I didn't see any chutney but I did manage to grab a bottle of their spicy jerk seasoning.

This is what I got:



I haven't decided exactly how I am going to incorporate this into a cupcake but I can't wait to taste the samples!

Cupcake in a Jar: Island Girl

I will admit that I have been too busy to blog. With plenty of non profit events, busy days at the store and now planning my own wedding, I am exhausted. The energy Gods had mercy on me today though and plentiful was the creativity running through me. I welcomed this energy and created two Cupcakes in a Jar flavors that are currently available at our Cupcakery.

First up: Island Girl
She is a seductive one. Creeping up on your tastebuds with coconut stained lips and rum soaked tongue. Yes, a cupcake can be seductive. And this cupcake is simply that - seductive.

It is layered with Rum soaked vanilla cake, rum drenched pineapple chunks, Madagascar vanilla buttercream and coconut flakes.



Doesn't it look simply delicious? Tomorrow I will tell you about the other cupcake in a jar I created. xoxo
