Tiger Print

Really? Has it been since February 16th since my last blog? Well I guess that means I need to catch up on a few things. Superbowl weekend was a huge success for Cupcakes by Coley. The NFL logos were a hit! I just hope everyone enjoyed them. They were really fun to make! Since then, I've gotten my DBA filled, and should be published in a local newspaper within the next week or so, I'm pretty excited for that. I've also got Travis and myself set up with a business account, so we have business ATM cards, and we can now start purchasing things, to write them off in next years taxes. Also buying things at whole sale will really help out with things. Well I'm blogging today due to my recent cupcake order that my brother requested. He works at Disneyland and they're having a party. Each department was in charge of bringing desserts. So he requested two dozen. 1 dozen animal print-to represent the Jungle Cruise attraction, the other one was for the Tiki Room. They we're made using our delicious chocolate cake recipe. Which is the number one seller right now! So to start off the blogs, is a tiger print cupcake. They can be purchased for $1.50 each. There made again, with chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and hand dipped in a orange sanding sugar, topped with a butter cream frosting to decorate the black stripes.

A cupcake for the stars

So its been a few days since my last entry, but my husband and I have been working hard to make Cupcakes by Coley a reality. He's been doing a lot of work on the website, and it looks great. Feel free to check it out: www.CupcakesbyColey.com. In addition to the website, part of my Valentines Day present was that he filled out an application in my name to submit our fictitious business name. Once that's approved we can get the ball rolling to get my license, followed by my food handlers permit. He's also been looking into where we can rent out space for a commercial kitchen. Does anyone know of a place or have a place of their own I can rent? Please let me know ASAP. It needs to be approved by the health department. So my next cupcake comes as a request from my good friend Val. She ordered cupcakes to go along with a movie style themed birthday party where the guests dressed up as their favorite actor/actress. I had a lot of fun with these cupcakes. Its so awesome to go out an experiment with different things! So these cupcakes in particular are chocolate on chocolate cupcakes. (Which are my number one seller right now-yay!) I then thought of the technique back from my NFL Saints cupcakes, and went out and bought silver sanding sugar, to represent glam. Dipped each cupcake in the sugar and let it set in the fridge. My next step was I found these chocolate molds of an old style movie camera. So Travis helped me melt chocolate and pour it into each mold. The molds have to set in the fridge for about 45 minutes to make sure there nice and solid. Once they were set, Travis had the idea of taking a white fondant writer and making the camera's "pop" by coloring in the details. Very awesome idea, it made the cupcake I thought. So once the chocolate was ready to go, I just placed each camera in the center of the cupcake! They turned out super cute and Val and Shawn seemed to really like them. I've posted a picture of her sister with the cupcakes: These cupcakes are now for sale for $2.00 each.

Love is in the air!

For my next Valentines Day cupcake, I made it a little simpler but it still gets the message across. Again, it can be your choice of cake, vanilla or chocolate. The picture portrays vanilla. It is then topped off with frosting that is pipped on and has a single conversation heart placed on the top. Place your orders today! Nikki@CupcakesbyColey.com 1(818)620-7535 Photography: Travis.

My 71st Cupcake

As my husband and I were putting together the website for Cupcakes by Coley, I realized never have I made, or at least posted, a classic vanilla on vanilla cupcake! The most simple cupcake, and some how it slipped by me. Nonetheless here it is, resembling the company's logo of course! A classic vanilla cupcake, with vanilla butter cream frosting topped with Coley's signature sprinkles! These little guys are now for sale for $2.00 each.
