subject: Cupcake Star Power: Katy Perry [print this page] Famous singer, Katy Perry, now Number 1 on The Maxim Magazine annual "Hot 100" finds cupcakes irresistible. She exited a nightclub in August 2009 all covered with traces of cream and cupcake smeared all over her dress as well as her face too. Apparently, the famed star admitted to have joined in a "cupcake fight".
Now that's cupcake love!
In one of her tweets, Katy said: "Just got face swiped by Crumbs cupcakes. So fun tonight!" Katy's fondness for cupcakes not only involves these cute treats flying in mid-air used to smash in someone's face. She's also a big fan of eating them.
Like other famous Hollywood stars, one of Katy's favorite is the Red Velvet cupcake from the star-studded Crumb's Bakery. Red Velvet cupcakes are at the top of the list of favorite cupcakes among famous stars and celebrities. Rich in chocolate flavour, and deep in classy, enticing rich, red color, these classic cupcakes are coined 'Red Velvets' for the vibrant, distinctive red color caused by a chemical reaction between the unprocessed cocoa used and the acid in the buttermilk.
Since the cupcake is a dark shade of red, the frosting definitely calls for a lighter color usually, a white vanilla or cream cheese frosting. Perhaps the rich chocolate flavor is one of the factors that made this cupcake so famous.
Even Katy Perry and fiancee Russel Brand seem to agree since they chose to celebrate their engagement by splitting a cupcake from Crumbs Bakery.
Engagements, weddings, Halloween parties, princess or super hero kids parties and even business meetings. Cupcakes can be served in all of these different events and add life to the party.
Cupcakes have become as hot as Katy Perry mainly because they can easily adapt to any event. The differences of each cupcake can then be expressed in the style, technique and application of the frosting. Like Katy's engagement cupcake, a shiny layer of white fondant was placed on top to give the cupcake a smooth and shiny finish - giving off that elegant style.
Of course, cupcakes can be personalized to your party theme. For a more fun and adventurous approach, try using a pastry bag with a fine tip to create beautiful swirls.
Or, if you'd like to really customize your cupcake and give it a unique design, top the icing with different fondant shapes and forms. From cartoon characters down to intricate letterings, cupcakes can be your own yummy art canvas.
