Very Vanilla Cupcake by Cupcake Chic
***Cupcake FYI: For all those who have never attended a bakery during soft opening phases, be patient, have fun, and ask lots of questions. This is the time where the business figures out their logistics, trains new employees, etc and then works out all kinks. Don’t get crazy mad if they have run out of a certain flavor or you wait in line. It’s fun, especially knowing you are one of the first to go to their store!

New site for Minis Cupcakes
A week or so ago I noticed Minis Cupcakes, Utah’s first cupcake bakery, had majorly upgraded their Web site. Stop what you are doing and head on over. It’s cute, pink and fun! My favorite element of the new site is the menu page. It features a slide show like element of each flavor with a fun picture and description. In case you are wondering, my favorite cupcake flavors over at Mini’s are the Black and White, The Diva and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
A huge cupcake 411: a sweet little birdie or rather a talented cupcake baker told me that Mini’s will be publishing a cookbook due out February 2011! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to start baking my own mini cupcakes at home.

New Cake and Cupcake Flavor at The Chocolate Dessert Cafe
I just got back from The Chocolate Dessert Cafe in Orem. They just launched a new cake and cupcake flavor to add to their menu!
And it is delicious. It’s a whipped cream cake with a whipped cream topping with fresh berries. It’s called The Brothers when it is in it’s true layer cake form and when it’s a cupcake it’s called Berry Licious. It’s perfect for summertime. Head on over to The Chocolate today…or Monday…or Tuesday because that’s when it’s available.

Cupcakes Kick Cancer at The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe
I love seeing cupcakes used for a good cause. The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe in Provo is no stranger to cupcake fundraisers for various charities, organizations and individuals in need. They are so kind and generous with their tasty treats.
This Saturday, June 26, The Cocoa Bean Cupcake Cafe will be raising money for Trent Rasmussen. Trent (cousin to Cocoa Bean owners, Gloria and Gary) was recently diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma cancer.
The Cocoa Bean will donate all proceeds from June 26 sales to the Rasmussen family. . They will also have a raffle and silent auction available.
You can learn more about Trent’s battle with cancer on his blog, Looking Up and Kneeling Down. I browsed it for a few minutes today. Read the first few posts if anything. My heart goes out to the Rasmussen family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
**If you can’t make it to the even and would like to donate directly to the family there has been an account set up at Zions Bank under the Trent and Holly Rasmussen Fund.

In Utah This Week reports: Cupcake Fashion Show
Diva’s Cupcakes and Coffee is sponsoring a Fashion Show this Saturday. I just spotted an article in In Utah This Week about the upcoming event.
The Fashion File: Cupcake Chic
by Krista Nielson
Cupcakes are so fashionable, they are the chic treat. No other cuisine can equal the charm and appeal of a sweetly decorated cupcake with finger-licking frosting. Cupcakes are simply irresistible, everybody loves them. Why do we love them so? Perhaps it’s the nostalgia, bringing back those happy childhood memories, but mostly because they are yummy!
I like cupcakes because it’s a whole cake just for me, I don’t have to share. Quick and easy bite-size food to eat with your hands, no utensils required. I tell myself that because it’s so small it can’t have many calories, and it’s just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth sugar craving. eating one can brighten your day … or maybe it’s just the sugar high.
Cupcakes and fashion have a lot in common: they mix inspiration, creativity, colors and textures and you’ve got the ideal recipe for a scrumptious collection. Fashion has a real passion for this delectable dessert. But for an industry that obsesses over body image and size, the pairing of fashion and carbs seems unlikely. Models don’t eat, celebrities don’t eat, aren’t you supposed to be starving if you’re in fashion? Let them eat cake!
You can have your cake and wear it too. Johnny Earle makes clothes with cupcakes on them. What started as a joke, selling tee shirts printed with a crossbone and cupcake from the trunk of his car, evolved into Johnny Cupcakes, a multimillion dollar clothing company with a cult following. And for the hostess with the mostess, Anthropologie has an appetizing apron with a cheeky cherry cupcake pattern worn by Kristin Davis in “Sex and the City 2.”
Fashion’s fascination with the tiny treats likely began more than a decade ago when New York’s Magnolia Bakery was featured on “Sex and the City”; Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) consumes a cupcake, and voilà, cupcakes are cool.
Salt Lake is no stranger to the gourmet cupcake craze. Offering some of the tastiest treats in town is Diva’s Cupcakes and Coffee. Dessert divas and fashionistas won’t want to miss Diva’s Fashion Show, an evening of lavish food, fashion and fun on Saturday, June 19.
Guests will be treated to fine hors d’oeuvres and desserts prepared by Diva’s talented and innovative Chef Andrew Young, accompanied with an upscale runway show featuring local designers Rachael Domingo, Sophie St. Claire and Krista Nielson (yup, that’s me). The fashion feast also includes wine, champagne and gift bags. After the show meet and mingle with show organizers, designers, chef, hair and makeup stylists of M-The-Salon and models from Wilhelmina Talent.
Drop in to Diva’s not only for the savory signature cupcakes, but also fresh made soups, salads and sandwiches, as well as vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dessert options. My favorite cupcake? Red Velvet, it’s the crème de la crème. Fashion trends may come and go, but cupcakes will always be in style!

Mormon Cupcakes: LDS Missionary Cupcakes
I sense a new series of posts dedicated to Utah’s predominant religion, eh? Hello Mormon cupcakes.
Let’s start out with these adorable LDS Missionary Cupcakes by The Sweet Tooth Fairy. Each cupcake has either a white short-sleeved shirt and tie, black missionary name tag or a little saying like “I hope they call me on a mission.” It looks like it was a fun custom order to fulfill.
If you have any LDS-themed cupcakes send ‘em my way!
Peanut Butter Cupcakes in Utah
I love peanut butter! Especially when it’s combined with chocolate, which is usually the case with cupcakes. Here’s a little sampling of the peanut butter cupcakes you can buy in Utah.
As you look take note about how each cupcake bakery does their peanut butter. I’d say most do a chocolate cake with either a chocolate or peanut butter frosting with some sort of chip on top. Others venture into a peanut butter and jelly thang. What is the bet combo? You decide!
Peanut Butter Cupcake by Cupcake Chicin Springville, Utah.
Mini Peanut Butter by The Chocolate Dessert Cafe in Orem, Utah
And two versions by The Sweet Tooth Fairy. I’m not sure which is the staple or if they just mix it up every once in a while. Either way, I like them!

There are several other cupcake bakeries in Utah that have peanut butter cupcakes but I don’t have photos and I can’t find photos on their facebook galleries or flickr albums. Yet another plug for all you bakeries to upload more photos! 
Which peanut butter cupcake in Utah is your favorite?
Fruit Pizza Cupcake
Okay, I’ve had this cupcake and it is delicious! You have to order these cupcakes since Cravings doesn’t have a store front yet…but man SO GOOD!
It was so fresh, fruity and light! Read more about it here! There’s even like a cookie/crust and light custard/pudding/cream cheese goodness on it! Alisha only does these once a year and I will probably order some when she does the this summer!

Sweet T’s Bake Shop in Spanish Fork
Southern Utah County might just be the next hot bed of cupcake activity in Utah. I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about this area regarding cupcakes lately. Here’s just a smidgen of the news, though a very sweet one.
It’s called Sweet T’s Bake Shop.
It’s run by Tia Trimble, self-proclaimed bake shop princess! She runs the bake shop out of her home, specializing in cupcakes, cakes, and cookies. I’m happy to report she plans on opening her own store front sometime in 2010 in the Spanish Fork area.
She’s documenting all her cupcake flavors, current orders and experimenting on her blog sweettsbakeshop.blogspot.com. And by the looks and names of these cupcakes, I’m pretty interested! Let’s take a look!
Terrific Toffee Cupcake!
The moist cake is made with brown sugar and studded with toffee bits (that melt into buttery pockets of caramel goodness when baked).
Orange Cream Cupcakes
Orange cupcakes studded with vanilla chips, iced with a swirl of orange icing combined with whipped cream.
YUM! This would be a great summertime cupcake at a picnic!
Grasshopper Cupcake
French Toast Cupcake
Tasty maple and cinnamon cake topped with maple buttercream.
They sound delicious, don’t they?
And I’m pretty excited to meet this cute owner. You’ll know that she’s a Disneyland fan the second that you read her blog…even more so, she used to work at Disneyland on the Jungle Cruise! And…that is where she met her husband. Adorable!
She developed this churro cupcake to bring back some nostalgia of yummy that is the Disneyland churro. I myself have lots of fun DL memories watching the fireworks and eating a churro. I’m excited to try this cupcake!
Churro Cupcake
Moist vanilla cake, ribboned with cinnamon and sugar. Topped with a dome of sweet butter frosting and crusted with more cinnamon and sugar.
So far her most praised flavors are her vanilla cupcakes with Sweet T’s classic vanilla buttercream icing as well as a candied pecan cupcake with rum buttercream icing.
I hope to give these a tasting soon and report back. In the meantime, make sure you check out the Sweet T’s Bake Shop blog.

Their custom cupcakes (which are very small) start at $1.00. Their site describes them as this:
“Petite cupcakes in any flavor cake or frosting, filled with pastry cream, dipped in chocolate. Personalized cookie toppers, candy toppers, custom paper toppers. The possibilities are endless.”
Let’s take a look at some of their work!
Bird nest cupcakes! These make the perfect spring or Easter cupcakes! I love the colors!
Chocolate cake, whipped cream cheese frosting, “dotted” sucker toppers.
I love these unusual cupcake toppers!
These just might be the prettiest butterfly cupcakes I’ve seen yet! Love that purple color!

Fudge Frosting Vote 2010 at The Chocolate Dessert Cafe
