Contenti Cupcakes on Cupcakes Take the Cake Blog
Hi there fans! Happy Friday to All!
I'm excited to annouce that Contenti Cupcakes was mentioned in the ever so famous cupcake blog http://www.cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/.
You'll have to scroll down to find the post on Miami's First Cupcake Camp. I've copied and pasted the part where I was mentioned. Thank you to Monica Nares for the article and the positive feedback!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ALL! Wishing you all a great weekend!
Stay tuned as I'll be creating some new cupcakes....pecan filled cupcakes with bourbon caramel butterceam and Contenti's Candy Shoppe Cupcakes!
"Alejandra Contenti of Contenti Cupcakes shared her," full-figured," minis frosted and garnished like bonbons. Her Bollywood cupcake was one of my overall favorites of the evening, it is a vanilla cupcake filled with the Indian dessert called Carrot Halwa, which is carrots cooked in milk and spices. It was sweet, and earthy, and surprisingly not overwhelmed by the moisture of the carrots. "

60th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes
I don't usually work with fondant, I rather stick to the buttercream cakes, but this was a special occasion for the family. I'll make small, simple, and delicious cakes to go with the cupcake tower. :o)

Catching up
I haven't posted any pictures lately because I have no camera. Actually I do have the camera but no battery, someone here in my household misplaced it so I've been having to take pictures with my phone camera which isn't that great plus it doesn't have a flash. Still I wanted to put some new stuff up, so here it is. Hopefully I'll either find my battery soon or better yet buy a new camera.

and yet another idea
So the other day I went to pick up my daughter at her friends house. The mom, Maria, offered me some arroz con leche (cuban style rice pudding) she had just made. She gave it to me to go since I was in a hurry to get to the gym. I shared it with my husband, my other daugher, and my son. It was delicious. Immediately Louis, my husband, and I thought, we have to make this into a cupcake. So since arroz con leche is usually topped with some cinnamon poweder, we thought, we'll make a cinnamon cupcake and top it off with homemade arroz con leche (which I've also done before). And that's how we added Cuba to the international line of cupcakes. We are calling it Maria's Arroz Con Leche Cupcake since it was inspired by Maria.
So far in the line up we have the following:
India - carrot halawa cupcake,
Greece - baklava cupcake,
Sweden - lingonberry cupcake,
Cuba - arroz con leche cupcakes.
So what do you think? Do you have any suggestions for other countries? Let me know.
Thanks! :o)
