i read sarah’s blog on a regular basis. she loves food and blogs about it. in detail. which comes pretty handy.

looove her posts about grilling & asian food. those are my favorite :)

besides her homemade adventures she goes to local restaurants to try their food. she comes home and blogs about it. too.

a.k.a. she  reviews the food. as i said. before. in. d.e.t.a.i.l.

i get an email the other day. hmm, let me check my inbox again, i said. you have to take in consideration i just had checked it 3 minutes ago.

hit refresh and i see the “receiving 1 message” notification and i’m super excited.

you know who emails me? yeah. sarah. {ahhh}.

when i see her email requesting one dozen of the lemon lime cupcakes. i. immediately had a light bulb over my head with the words: blog.

thought to myself: well. she’s going to blog about the cupcakes and she is going to be honest. pressure is on. so i went and bought my ingredients – fresh as usual – right away.

here are her tweets and her photos. click here to read her review on the baking cup cupcakes and to follow her blog & delicious posts.

lemon keeps on giving

if you read my previous entry here, you know the baking cup has been baking lots of sweets with lemon.

{what’s that? you haven’t read it. yet? thanks to technology you can by just clicking the link above! but. promise me you’ll come back though.}

this time. lemon was mixed with something else. another ingredient popular among bakers in general: poppy seeds.

i don’t know what it is about these seeds that are so awesome !!! tanginess, perhaps? if you do know. please leave me a comment below.

proceeded to adventure. and. baked lemon poppy seed cupcakes & frosted them with cream cheese. this is to continue the tanginess. i guess?

they were a hit and are becoming quite popular. so much. that. i decided to add it as a new flavor!

you can have these with any other frosting of your preference. too.

enjoy!

introducing a new friend

yes. the baking cup has a new friend. well. i would say they’ve been best friends lately.

you and me are all excited because it’s 70 degrees {average} outside. and. feel. well. like eating everything light.

hmm. light it’s not a great word. i don’t like diets and that word reminds me of it. and. i don’t think you like it either.

it’s all about balanced meals throughout the day, right?

ok. instead of light. let’s say flavorful and fragrant. what do you think? it’s that a little better?   i think so :)

the baking cup has been delivering tons of orders lately. and. let me just say that i’m a happy human being!

these orders include flavors that. i. myself. have. never. heard. before.

but. i will tell you more about that later this week.

lemon and the baking cup are pretty close together. that much. that. they are falling in love.

why? hmm, i found out that lemon it’s a top pick & a favorite among the baking cup lovely clients.

even this tweet from @al_winmill was about the lemon-lime and swiss merengue buttercream cupcake i delivered to my tweep @katpinke :)

if you don’t follow them on twitter. you know what you have to do {hint: click the links above}

branding the baking cup

yeah. branding a business is crucial. imagine if you didn’t have a personality?! how boring would that be?

the same applies to any business, and the baking cup is no exception.

i am currently working on the image as a whole. i can’t wait to see when it all comes together. i am not going to lie. it is hard work! oh, and. i am impatient and anxious. the two together are a horrible recipe for waiting.

on the other hand, i have been working on some recipes. and here are the signs i designed for the oreo cheesecakes and lemon-lime cupcakes that were devoured at a great event. the baking cup was successfully part of an art auction over the weekend!

i will post about that shortly. i promise!

you are more than welcome to give me your 2 cents. trust me. i will not be offended :)
