Sorry, this entry is only available in Brazilian Portuguese.
I’m a journalist with more passions than time can allow me to have. I have found in the kitchen my paradise, my resting place after a long and exhausting day. It’s my addiction, really. Not only cupcakes but anything that I find interesting, challenging or fun to do. Despite the blog’s name, it’s not all about cupcakes. I love cooking risotto, of all kinds, and I simply love any recipe with cheese.
I’m not sure when or why I started to cook. My memories are of my mother putting me in the kitchen and teaching Brazilian white rice and her awesome pomodoro sauce for spaghetti, with fresh tomatoes just the way only she can do. All I know in the kitchen I’ve learned by one way: practice. My recipes are created from my head and implemented with the tests I run, or even meticulously measured from trusted sources.
I have a true passion for cupcakes, because I believe they represent everything that’s good in the kitchen: butter, sugar, cuteness, dedication and creativity. Everything in the right amount for one person.
I enjoy experimenting with these little ones, and finding out new ways do decorate them. When I have nothing better to do, I start researching and studying recipes, theories and decorations for cupcakes. Yeah, study, that’s right.
The blog is also a place for my second passion: photography. I’m that person who keeps looking for angles and shots while walking on the park. I also study the art of photography through websites and books.
Cupcakeando means, roughly, cupcakeing in Portuguese. The noun “cupcake” is in a verb tense that most well-schooled Brazilians hate because it means an action that will never stop. That’s precisely my intention. I don’t have any wish to stop my cupcake factory anytime soon, or even stop cooking in general. If I don’t have anymore orders, it will be for friends. If my friends get sick of it, it will be for my family. When my family says “ENOUGH”, it will be for myself (and maybe for my Siberian husky and my Pembroke corgi). Because that’s what I love to do and what makes me truly happy.

Sempre quis saber a receita do marsmallow original… Como vc fez os marsmallows que ficaram soltinhos nas foto Ju? Que bico usou?
Quanto às viagens… Nada, programação zero por aqui, mas vontade é o que não falta… Bjs e tudo de bom!
Gabrielle, usei um bico redondo comum, nem marca tem! Aí você faz uma bolotinha e puxa pra cima! Deixa secar assim mesmo e depois passa no açúcar. :)
Olá!!! Feliz pela sua viagem!!!! Se Trump permitir aproveite bastante!!!!!!! Só uma dúvida, essa cobertura aguenta o calor? Tipo o calor que faz aqui na minha terra chamada de Rio de Janeiro? Amei a receita!!!!!!!
Fernanda, aguenta sim! Marshmallow depois que seca é bem firme e poderoso contra o calor! Beijos mil!!
Oi! Nasci e passei a vida toda em Brasilia, mas faz 10 anos que moro nos EUA. Meus filhos adoram brigadeiro, mas nao gostam de cupcake… Eu acho tao lindo, especialmente para enfeitar a mesa do bolo. Eles tiram o buttercream de cima e comem so o bolinho. Queria testar essa receita de marshmallow porque acho que eles vao gostar. Voce sabe me informar se a glucose e a mesma coisa do corn syrup que vende em supermercado e em lojas como Michaels e JoAnn? Obrigada!
Ana, é sim! Na verdade, é até melhor usar o corn syrup, mas aqui no Brasil não temos :(
Oi Juliana! Já faz um tempo que ando testando algumas receitas suas. Estou adorando! Ontem fui fazer esse marshmallow, mas foi hilário. Não tenho termômetro e fui no olhômetro. A calda passou do ponto e quando virei na batedeira ela grudou toda no batedor. Imagina como ficou minha cozinha e eu… kkkkkk Mas persisti. Voltei pro fogo com mais um pouco de água, deixei derreter e engrossar novamente. Deu certo! Uma delícia!!!
Elaine, eu também já tive o mesmo problema com marshmallow! hahahaha Mas faz parte! Que bom que deu certo aí :)
