Rockstar Bakeshop!

Ahhhh!! What a crazy December and beginning of 2010 I've had....Denver and I have decided to go forth with my grandiose idea of opening a bakery-type institution. Now, granted, I can't quite yet open an actual brick and mortar bakery, but why not open a traveling bakery? Bring the baked goods to the people, so to speak. Thus, Rockstar Bakeshop was born. The plan is to bake out of my kitchen for events like festivals, concerts, art shows, farmer's markets, etc, etc, etc.

I have four items on the menu so far. Of course, there is Seth Philpott Birthday Cake and Bullseye Trigger Strawberry Cupcakes. Seth Philpott Birthday Cake is a tasty buttermilk layer cake filled with dark chocolate ganache and covered with Italian meringue buttercream icing. It was created for our friend and amazing musician Seth Philpott for his birthday and CD release party this past November.

The infamous Bullseye Trigger Strawberry Cupcakes were thought up at a practice session for Dallas' own incredible band Sleeperstar. Drummer Shaun Menary said they would play their song "Bullseye Trigger" (off of EP "To Speak, To Love, To Listen" available at http://www.sleeperstar.com) for us if we brought him strawberry cake. Of course, we were up to the challenge! Bullseye Trigger Strawberry Cupcakes feature real strawberries pureed and mixed into a moist vanilla cake topped with a fluffy Cream Cheese frosting. It's been said they taste like ice cream!

Rockstar Cookies are handmade sugar cookies iced with vanilla icing with the word "ROCK" piped in chocolate royal icing and topped with edible sparkles.

Vanilla Twilight Cupcakes are vanilla cupcakes made with whole milk and premium Madagascar bourbon vanilla topped with an amazing vanilla bean buttercream frosting. The frosting is so addicting that my aunt once ate an entire tub of it in one day. These were inspired by Owl City's song "Vanilla Twilight" off their album Ocean Eyes. I've listened to their cd approximately 6 million times (no joke) so the song has kind of stuck with me.

We have a Facebook page and an email address: rockstarbakeshop@gmail.com (we even have 4 friends already!!)

Next step: find out about health codes, the laws behind baking for profit out of my kitchen and get a business license. Oh, and market research some more recipes! Stay tuned y'all!!
