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.

Búlgara? Não dá. Faz-me pensar na Dilma Rousseff e não quero nada que a lembre. RSRSRS
O que que búlgara tem a ver com Dilma? hahahaha Acho que você vai se privar de uma delícia por uma bobagem ;)
Outro doce q tem nome importado é a palha italiana, que na verdade foi criada no sul do Brasil.
Adorei essa torta e vou fazê lá logo mais.
Beijão!!
Hum! Não sabia que essa torta era daqui de Salvador e desconhecida em outros lugares. Pra mim era uma receita internacionalmente conhecida.rsrsrs
Ju! Como é o seu forno? Qd faço as receitas, o tempo de assar é sempre muito maior do que o descrito.
Ruth, meu forno é um pouco mais alto do que a temperatura que ele diz que está, por isso sei que tenho que colocar um pontinho a menos para assar na temperatura certa. Mas isso varia, você tem que virar brother do seu forno hahaha
Ju essa sugestão de nome de “Bolo Baiano”, já existe (pelo menos na minha família e amigos rsrs), é uma receita que minha avó pegou de uma amiga, eu peguei delas, e é sucesso. É um bolo mesclado de chocolate, canela e queijo ralado. Delicia!!!
