Pups ask me all the time, “what’s the secret to your pupcakes?”
“What ingredients do you use?” “How do you turn your pupcakes into a culinary dream?” In fact, one of the reason’s I decided to share my pupcake recipes online was to give pups the opportunity to create a little Pupcake Sugar magic at home.
I’ve even been asked “What’s the one piece of equipment that you can’t live without in your kitchen?” Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to narrow it down to one piece of equipment. It simply comes down to what kind of pupcake I’m baking. It also depends on what equipment I have available at that particular time.
However, there is one thing this pupcake baker absolutely needs in her kitchen. Music.
Yes. Music is one of the secret ingredients to every pupcake I bake. If I’m in the kitchen, best believe that there is some music playing in the background. I’ve got a pupcake playlist for every mood I’m in. It also adds a little extra flavor to my pupcakes.
I absolutely love music. Always have, and always will. Music has the power to take everything I want to bark and turn it into a story. It turns emotion into a creative outlet for self-expression.
Just like my pupcakes. Pupcakes are my way to take what I’m feeling and turn it into a creative way to express myself. So, when you combine pupcakes and music together, magic happens.
And, that magic is what I like to call Pupcake Soul.
Pupcake Soul is the love that is baked into every pupcake. It also includes a dash of emotion from the song playing in the kitchen while I’m baking pupcakes.
I’ve been playing music in the kitchen ever since I started baking. Barking along to whatever song is playing and moving along with the beat. It sets the mood in my kitchen. It also adds a little pup heart and soul to every bite of my pupcakes. In the words of Maya Angelou…
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
And, that includes my pupcakes. It’s the blending of the ingredients as they mix together. It’s the harmony of the pupcakes rising while they’re baking in the oven. It’s even the way the frosting jazzes up the pupcake with the perfect finishing touch.
All of that beautiful pupcake baking rhythm dances with every bite as it makes its way to your stomach. So, my Pupcake Soul playlist will always be my secret to every pupcake I bake. It’s my story. It’s my groove. It’s my heart, and it’s soul.
So, these Blueberry Peanut Butter Smoothie Pupcakes are dedicated to sprinkling your own flavor on your pupcakes and adding your own Pupcake Soul.
And of course, we believe that every pupcake has a love story. So, while your favorite pup is PUPPY LOVIN’ on these pupcakes, we’d love to hear from you.
