Shanna Moakler talks to All Things Cupcake.

Posted by on Saturday, September 13th, 2008

I asked Shanna the other day if she’d be interested in talking with me about cupcakes. Her response, "yes i love cupcakes, red velvet!". I didn’t want to do any ol’ interview. I wanted something quick, fun, and sassy.

So here we go:

Shanna: Red velvet with cream cheese frosting is my FAVORITE!
Me: Red velvet w/ cream cheese is the best. yum.

Me: If you had to choose, would you pick the frosting or the cake?
Shanna: If I had to choose, I would choose to eat the frosting!
Who wouldn’t?

Me: In your opinion, what is the sexiest way to eat a cupcake?
Shanna: The sexiest way to eat a cupcake to me is having equal parts of cake and frosting, so i like using my fingers and getting messy!
Getting messy while eating a cupcake is a must.

Me: If you were stranded on a deserted island with only one cupcake, what flavor would it be?
Shanna: I would pick red velvet.

Me: Mrs Beasley’s or Sprinkles ?
Shanna: I choose mrs beasleys all the way, i like their mini muffins and cupcakes..
Me: I agree!
Shanna: I send their mini muffin baskets to people for holidays and stuff! hehe I personal don’t like sprinkles at all.. too much going on… I like a classic simple cupcake..

And there ya have it folks. Thanks Shanna <3

Cupcake Shot

Cupcake Shot 

I came across this cupcake shot drink. The Original Cupcake Shot Drink Company that sold Cupcake Shot Drink Kits back in 2004. They give you the plastic cups, designer cupcake wrappers, sprinkles, flavored syrups, and drink recipes. You supply the whipped cream, and drink ingredients.

After my search on where these kits could be purchased came up empty handed I turned my focus on Cupcake Shot, Cocktail, and Drink recipes. Here is a list of a few that I have found…

  1. Cupcake – from DrinksPub
  2. Cupcake – from Drinknation
  3. Cup cake – from Alex’s Cocktail Recipes

The Original Cupcake Shot Drink Company if you are reading this…please bring back the Cupcake Shot Kits!!! They look so yummy! I enjoy drinking my cupcakes as much as I like eating them. Thank you!

“At Mrs. Beasley’s we’re bi-partisan when it comes to political candidates,” says Ken Harris the company’s CEO. “But, we are partial to creating cupcakes and cookies and other baked goods that look and taste fantastic. These treats are fit for a President!”

This year, Mrs. Beasley’s is celebrating 30 years as baker to the stars and after three decades in the business the renowned bakery is still delivering gourmet gift baskets to the biggest names in Hollywood including Academy Award winners – Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon and Hillary Swank.

Mrs. Beasley’s gourmet bakery and renowned catalog of freshly-baked deserts have a rich and storied history that dates back to 1978 when two sisters began providing their Beverly Hills neighbors with unique hand-made treats and gift baskets. Within months their orders had nearly doubled and they became the talk of the town and an entertainment industry favorite. The Hollywood connection quickly spread and the demand for Mrs. Beasley’s products soon grew with requests pouring in from far beyond Los Angeles.

Mrs. Beasley’s decadent treats are available anywhere and anytime – by phone 1-800-710-7742, online at www.mrsbeasleys.com and at the company’s eight retail locations in: Beverly Hills, Encino, downtown Los Angeles, Brentwood, Pasadena, Costa Mesa and at South Coast Plaza.
