Double the Deliciousness

What do you do when you are better at artistically decorating sugar cookies than you are at molding fondant? You top a cupcake with a cookie! When my attempts at fondant animals were sub-par for some zoo cupcakes, I decided to create a new cupcake concept - sugar cookie topped cupcakes.

My personal opinion is that these turned out Adorable with a capital "A." If you are having a zoo themed, carnival themed, or animal themed birthday party/baby shower any time soon, I would love to expand my concept to a full order.

Something very important that you should know is that Sarah M. has THE best sugar cookie recipe ever. We have people craving them all over the country! We have used this recipe for some really fun custom sugar cookies lately:

University of Utah cookies for the big rivalry game

Mustache cookies for a "Little Man" themed baby shower

I mean, really, the possibilities are endless. And the cookies and cupcakes are delicious separately. Oh, and it recently was pointed out that we didn't post a phone number to call us if you want to place an order so here it is: 801-923-4909. If you have an event coming up and want custom sugar cookies or sugar cookie topped cupcakes, let us know!

Pina Colada Cupcakes

Sarah H. here.....So on Sunday I was thinking it had been a long time since I whipped up a batch of coconut cupcakes (If you know the history of my cupcake obsession you will realize what a travesty this is). Anyway, I decided it was time they be made. I informed my husband of this decision and he suggested Pina Colada cupcakes. My mind whirred with ideas and my mouth literally watered at the idea of the forthcoming cupcake creation. I dreamt about it all week and today, we created it:

Isn't it a thing of beauty! Coconut Cake, Pineapple Curd filling, and Pineapple Buttercream frosting. I couldn't even wait for them to cool before I was digging in. The first bite took me back to the tastes of the islands and my trip to Oahu last year. I won't admit how many more I ate! One thing you should know about me is I get really excited when a baking idea works out. Today I was ecstatic!

A Wedding and An Office Party

Want to hear about our weekend? We baked. Can you believe it?

Sarah M's friend Min was celebrating her brother's wedding dinner and asked the Sugar Rush Bakers to be a part of it. After months of deliberation on the perfect dessert, it was decided that she would be serving:

Strawberry Chocolate and Mango Cupcakes. Let me just tell you, the Mango Cupcakes were the best batch we had every made. Melt in your mouth delectable. They are vanilla cupcakes, filled with mango curd and topped with mango frosting. One word: Yum.

We also made customized, personalized, amazingatized, yummifized sugar cookies. Nothing says love like a personalized sugar cookie. These can be made with your wedding colors and basically any words you would like that are hand-frosted gorgeousness. This batch allowed the wedding guests to spell out "Khai and Linda forever" and "Khai loves Linda"

The wedding guests must have been pleased because the mother of the groom called us up the next day to place an order for a work party. We had a crazy Monday getting them all ready, but are more than happy to spread some Sugar Rush scrumptiousness.
