Welcome back to the show.
You know I don't mind tossing a peep,
but when I really want a sweet treat,
I reach for the butter, cream and cake.
And if that craving turns to baking
with my kids, then all the better.
But to make life even sweeter,
I just found out that trophy cupcakes
has a DIY kit so we can have all the
fun without all the work and here to
show me how to make the perfect cupcake.
Is trophy cupcakes owner Jennifer Shea.
Thank you so much for bringing
this beautiful display in today.
Man, these cakes are gorgeous.
Thank you, but we're here to talk
about your DIY cupcake kitten.
What is in it?
So it's here this we developed this
during COVID because everyone was at
home and needed something fun to do. Yes.
And so the kit comes just like this.
And then when you open it up,
all this fun is just ready for you.
So buttercream, this one's themed for
Easter so it has all the Easter sprinkles.
And then the fun part.
Cupcakes are already baked
for you and you don't have to.
Worry about it, yes,
so we're gonna pull this out OK, and
I'll take the they take that big box
alright I'll put it back here so
we've got our already baked cupcakes,
which just you know it's nice because
you can get it delivered to your door.
We ship this across the country
unless mess my house is already messy
with everyone in it all the time.
So yes, I'm here for that.
So it comes with our we call it Yum Fetty
Yum Fetty Fetty cute OK
and chocolate. You can also get
the these kits and gluten free.
Ohh you can. Yeah absolutely
OK good we were just talking about
they had the most incredible gluten
free cupcake with the Raspberry and
the meringue. Mm-hmm and almond.
Ohh but let's focus on this amity so
butter cream comes in the kit you
get these little bags you either
can decorate straight out of the tub
or you can fill your pastry bag.
OK if you have tips, pastry tips,
you can drop those in.
Some people like to do kind
of the fancier you see,
kind of the fancier swirl
I see the fancy swirl.
That's just dropping in a pastry
tip to one of these bags.
OK, Ohh, good to know, alright?
I mean, I'm not very fancy at this,
I'm I might I might embarrass you a little,
but should I just go ahead and try it? You
can. OK I can show you
and show me an Easter
basket if I was gonna make an
Easter basket I would just put it.
Doesn't have to be pretty this
part just like a dollop on top.
OK, and then we've got our
green tinted coconut OK and
then you're just dipping it in.
See, this is my speed. I can do
this so easy. OK, and so then you've got
your nice little Easter grass base that's
adorable. These are just
cute little basket handles
that come in the kit and so
you go like that and then
whatever you want to fill it
with so the kit has Jelly beans.
You can just if you've got peeps,
you can put peeps there but so easy.
So cute kids love
and you know what I love is that
there's no way in the world it would
find these these little basket things.
So I'm glad that you have done this.
OK I should give it a try.
Yeah, OK, so I've never been
great at doing the frosting thing,
but I'm glad you gave me the
tutorial and I'm glad that it
doesn't take a whole lot of effort.
But but the bottom line is,
if you're eating it and you're having fun,
it doesn't matter what it looks like.
How do I do
this? Is it perfect? See,
I mean look, it looks perfect.
And then you pick your little basket handle.
And then just fill the basket.
Ohh I'm in love with this.
This is so much fun.
My grandma's gonna love this.
You know little eggs in there
and this is like just a fun
afternoon evening after dinner.
I mean I just keep getting
feedback from families like we're.
Two hours in and everyone still
having fun and we're sitting
there just like being creative,
having little contests on who who is
most creative, who is over the top.
It's really fun,
and what a great thing to do
because I think folks are getting
together again this year for Easter.
And we always wonder what to bring,
what to bring? Hmm,
this has got to be the most thoughtful
and and heartfelt gift because, you know,
it's coming straight from what your
kids created or what you created.
Yeah, and this doesn't have
to be just for kids, right?
Like I could see my girlfriends
and I having fun with this.
I've had so many.
People reach out as well,
saying, You know,
we had a girls night in and
decorated cupcakes and during
COVID people were having
cupcake decorating on zoom
who would have ever thought
well but wouldn't yeah. I love that?
What are you making here
so I just you know a little
bit on top and then again,
I think whenever you dip,
the edges like that.
All of a sudden, it looks professional.
It does and so I want you to try that OK.
Yes, ma'am, I got this again.
It's just you're having fun,
there was one thing.
The kit that didn't make it on the table, so
I think this is really fascinating.
Like these are the tips that we love so
I didn't do terrible job. But then I just
so look at these guys. So all these fun
sugar toppers also come in the kit.
If you drop a cupcake and
sprinkles, is it really dropping
in? No? I mean that's you know what?
That? By the way, if you take anything
away from our show today should be that.
So does look pretty professional and nice,
and since the trophy box comes in,
you could even decorate all of
these and then bring them to a party
and they wouldn't even know.
No, they would probably
know you're your cupcake.
Decorators are amazing.
You look at this,
I love it. So fun, right?
So we can get these kits at trophy,
but do you still deliver them?
We deliver them all around.
We have a pretty huge zip code
all around Seattle and Bellevue,
East side and then the fun thing
that's so exciting for us as a
company is that we started shipping.
Nationwide tissue, congratulations
yeah and except for Alaska and Hawaii.
Not yet, but you could ship these
all the way across the country
and share trophy with people
on the East Coast wherever
love that see.
They'll be very delighted and lucky.
Not only do you have these amazing kids,
but we were talking about these
absolutely gorgeous cakes. These high.
They're called high hat cakes.
I mean, you've seen nothing
like them in their life,
so we make we call them magic cakes,
that ones the Easter one does.
It does have a little high hat on top.
And our high hats are one of the
things that we're kind of known for.
We've been doing these for 15 years,
only for Easter.
It's a big swirl of marshmallow in there,
dipped in Belgian chocolate ganache.
They just kind of scream Easter.
Three days a year, people line up.
We always recommend ordering
advance on our website.
OK, and you just kind of have to.
I've never. I've never
had one before you ready for this ready?
Hmm Oh my gosh and it's you had a pink
one. I've got two different colors of
of the marshmallows on the inside.
Do I have chocolate all over all over?
A little bit here all over all a bit there.
Totally worth it because.
My gosh, this is amazing.
Jennifer. Thank you so much.
For taking the time to help us
be more creative, have more fun
with our food and also make life
a better place with this cupcake.
Thank you, my goodness.
