Cupcakes, Cupcakes, and more Cupcakes!!!





     Welcome back and thank you for helping Smash Cakes' business grow at a crazy pace. We've been so busy filling orders that we haven't had time to keep up with the blog. Let's start with the pictures, from top to bottom.
     First is our Lemon Drop Cupcake. It's a lemon cupcake dipped in a lemon simple syrup and topped with a vodka buttercream. A refreshing and intoxicating treat just in time for summer.
     Next one down is our Creamy Snatch Cupcake. Alread one of our most popular treats. Based on the creamy snatch cocktail as well as......well nevermind. Anyway, it is a cafe mocha cupcake soaked in amaretto liqueur filled with a butterscotch ganache. Topped with an kahlua and drizzled with butterscotch.
     That brings us to another instant classic, our Screaming Orgasm. This is a chocolate/almond cupcake filled with a white chocolate ganache and topped with a amaretto/vodka buttercream. The name is fitting because one bite of this thing will make you have a............well nevermind.
     On the way down is another exotic treat right in time for the warm weather. Our instantly popular Blue Hawaiian Cupcake. This is a coconut cupcake with real pineapple chunks inside and topped with a blue curacao/light rum/coconut rum buttercream and sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes. As delicious as it is beautiful.
     Last but not least is our Mudslide Cupcake. A cafe mocha cupcake double soaked in irish cream and topped with a kahlua/chocolate glaze. Messy but worth the clean up!
     We've also made a sex on the beach cupcake by popular demand. Pictures coming soon, but you can just imagine how pretty a cranberry cupcake filled with grand marnier whipped cream and topped with a vodka/peach schnapps buttercream. As good as sex on the beach, sans the sand in your unmentionables.
     Keep checking us out on twitter (@smashcakes814) for upcoming contests and promotions and definitely like us on facebook @ Smash Cakes because we have a facebook contest coming up really soon where you can win free smash cakes. As always, thank you for your support and come back regularly for updates.

We also now are making cakes which are just giant cake sized cupcakes. We can turn any of your favorite cocktail cupcakes into a giant cupcake/cake. They're great for birthdays and other special occasions. We've been working on tons of new cupcakes since you've been gone too. Our "screaming orgasm" has quickly become one of our favorites. It's a chocolate/almond cupcake with a white chocolate/baileys ganache filling and an amaretto vodka buttercream. They definitely live up to their name! We've also made lemon drops which are lemon cupcakes made with fresh squeezed lemon juice, dipped in a lemon simple syrup and topped with a vodka/lemon zest buttercream. We also now have a mudslide and a buttery nipple. Keep in mind that we'd also be glad to fill orders for your bridal shower, birthday party, or any other special occasion.

Eat away the pain...

     First, we'd like to thank everyone who has been putting the word out for us on facebook and around town, people who have ordered cupcakes, people who "like" us on facebook and follow us on twitter, and everyone who's taken the time out to eat a sample. Thanks everyone, from the bottom of our smashed hearts.
     We've been staying real busy with trying to get the smash cakes brand out there this week. We'll soon have smash cakes merchandise and will soon be offering cupcake cakes, which are cake size cupcakes, perfect for special occasions. Ofcourse we've been busy creating our delicious cupcakes too. Pictured above is our amaretto sour cupcake. It's a sweet and sour cupcake with and amaretto liqueur buttercream topped with amaretto liqueur soaked almond slivers. We've also made the mai tai, fuzzy navel, and our strongest cupcake to date....the long island iced tea cupcake. This stiff one is an iced tea cupcake with a gin/vodka/rum/tequila buttercream. And trust me, we weren't skimpy with the liquids on this one at all. We have plenty of cupcakes on deck too, like a 99 bananas cupcake which is a peanut butter cupcake with a 99 bananas icing, and a red headed velvet slut. This one is sure to be popular. It's a red velvet cupcake with a red headed slut icing. And always remember that we can customize cupcakes and can turn your favorite cocktail into a delicious cupcake. You can email justgetsmashed@gmail.com for requests as well as orders, and you can always hit us up on facebook and on twitter (@smashcakes814). Have a great weekend and we'll have more treats for you next week.

Hard At Work In the Kitchen...We're Just Beginning.

     Well, Smash Cakes is moving at a fast pace and producing like crazy! Since the last post, we've started getting the orders rolling in and working on turning all of your favorite cocktails to cupcakes. We've baked some delicious margaritas (pictured above), Mai Tai's, Irish Car Bombs, and our Rum and Cokes are quite possibly our most potent creation yet. We've had some great suggestions like a Pitbull on Crack, Orgasm, and several others that we can't wait to get to work on and get creative with. So don't forget that you can always request your favorite cocktail to be made into a cupcake. Make sure you check our facebook page regularly and you can also now follow us on twitter (@smashcakes814). Don't forget to come here as well. We will be posting several times a week so there will always be news to catch up on as well as pictures of our creations. We would like to thank everyone who has "liked" us on facebook, is following us on twitter, and everyone who has placed an order with us or showed us support in any other way. We need you, so stick with us as we continue to grow through the roof.

Tales From the Cupcake Trials


Coffee Cupcake w/ Sambuca Buttercream

So we decided that we would try a new flavor every day this week. Ya know, trying to see what works and what doesn't. Thus far, everything is working! I mean you really cannot go wrong with alcohol, sugar, and more alcohol! I had never tried Sambuca but, Brian promised that it would be a great combination with coffee. We tried a great Kenyan blend coffee cupcake and made a Sambuca based buttercream. It was wonderful! The licorice flavor from the Sambuca really did make a great combination with the coffee We coated some of the coffee beans with chocolate and used it as a garnish. I have to admit the chocolate covered coffee bean adds a really nice bite!

Testing....Testing....1,2,3

So we have our vision and our company name and a blog (stickers coming soon), but we're just in the testing phase of the cupcakes. We made a very successful batch of guinness cupcakes with cocoa/baileys irish cream filling and baileys irish cream buttercream frosting just in time for St. Patty's day. We have plenty of bottles of liquor and endless ideas for our drunken cupcakes. You may see a 99 bananas cupcake. You might see a sambuca or grand marnier cupcake. You may also see a margarita cupcake or an amaretto sour cupcake. You may see all of them. Who knows? We do know that the possibilities are endless though and we're excited about all the time we'll be spending creating smashcakes. If you want to see your favorite drink made into a cupcake, just email us at justgetsmashed@gmail.com. Once we take some pictures of cupcakes you'll be able to follow us on facebook too. We thank everyone for their support and don't forget to eat away the pain with smashcakes.
