Enjoy Cupcakes, Jose Villa + A Recipe!
It’s hard for me to imagine a more perfect feature than this next one. And since we are a blog filled to the brim with eye candy, that is saying a lot. I’ve been a little bit obsessed (ok, totally jealous) of Amber Vandervliet and her mobile cupcakery for some time. It’s kind of like the dream business of all dream businesses, rolled up perfectly into one absolutely adorable RV. Based in Southern California, Amber has built a little cupcake business that is getting the attention of just about everyone…whether she’s parking it at a local wedding or selling out of her tasting lounge at Saarloos & Sons in Santa Ynez Valley. People love Amber. And her cupcakes.
And so, when we heard a rumor that Jose Villa got his hands on some of those cupcakes for a picture perfect photoshoot, well, let’s just say there might have been some begging involved. For us…Jose Villa + Enjoy Cupcakes = a match made in cupcake heaven.
a special thanks to Heather Saarloos for the interior design of the Saarloos & Sons tasting lounge!
And just when you thought all of the yumminess was coming to an end…wrong! Amber has graciously offered up one of her prized recipes so even if you aren’t lucky enough to live in SoCal, you can still taste the goodness.
Chardonnay Cupcake Frosting Recipe
1/4 pound European Style Butter (@room temperature)
2 oz Cream Cheese (@room temperature)
Approx. 2 cups Powdered Sugar
Pinch of Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
3 tablespoons Chardonnay
*Cream the butter with an electric mixer, or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium to high speed for about 2 minutes. Add cream cheese and continue to mix on medium to high speed for another 2 minutes or until soft and creamy!
*Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated and then increase speed to high speed and mix for another minute.
*Add salt, lemon juice and chardonnay and mix on medium until the salt and liquid are incorporated.
*Add remaining powdered sugar, again start out mixing on low and then increase speed to high.
* If need be, add more powdered sugar until you reach the consistency you desire.
Make sure to check out both Jose and Amber’s gorgeous blogs. You will LOVE how much inspiration is jam packed into both of these goodies!

What an adorable rv...and the decor is a wonderful mixture of fun!
Perfection.
Where is the chair from? The one with the yellow zebra patterned cushion on it? I love it!!
These pics are perfect! I love the blue and yellow together. And the cupcake platters are so pretty
This is making me want a cupcake !! Too adorable !
The photographs are beautiful! The cupcakes are so elegant... I love her creative business!
These photos make me want to move to SoCal just so i can be near these cupcakes!! The shop, the RV, the cupcakes.....pure perfection!!! YUM!
I love all of the different eclectic stands...that is exactly what I want for the cupcake display at our wedding! Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get inexpensive ones? I'm thinking about hitting up some local flee markets and searching on ebay, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Oh my goodness this post is such a delight for the eyes! So playful, fun, and delicious! What a great idea.
Gorgeous-ness! I want to move into that RV. Love, love love!!!!
Perfect combination is right! I would *love* to have that adorable RV parked behind my home 24-7! That chardonnay frosting sounds absolutely divine, too.
Awesome creativity!! What a bright, fresh, fun idea!!!
How cute is this?! I'm sending this page to my mom so she can stop stressing me out about wanting cupcakes at the reception.
Three of my obsessions - cupcakes, aqua, yellow...oh and that amazing chair too! I might just be selling my house and moving to an rv.
love love love this yummy post! very well done... everything so deliciously pretty! ~Nikki
Fantastic images! I love the colors used and how all the cupcakes have been displayed. Well done!
I love these images!! They are amazing!!
OMG I love her and I love cupcakes, what an inspiring business woman!
Wow! Just went to Amber's blog and saw the inspiration board she made for this photo shoot, and it translates beautifully! How lovely of her to provide the frosting recipe - it sounds divine.
Ooh, the cake stands are gorgeous. I'm looking for some exactly like that to fit 10" cakes... any ideas?
These look delicious... and since I am gluten-free I am definitely going to make that icing for cupcakes that I can eat! However I am Canadian and we do not measure ingredients in pounds, so 1/4 lb of butter is how many ml or cups exactly?
My goodness! That is so sweet!
I'm dieting right now (wedding in August) but might officially go off my diet to try a chardonnay frosted cupcake! I'm about ready to eat my darn computer screen right now!
Beautiful photography also.
Jose has done it again! Managed to capture the essence of the subjects (even if the subjects are tiny delectable little goodies!) and the overall feel is just fund and fresh. Bravo!
Can I live in the trailer? :D
I want to live in that little shop, amazing!
Oh my gosh, the wallpaper in the shop and the yellow zebra pillow are insanely beautiful. Does anyone know where that wallpaper is from? Anyone know where that yellow zebra fabric is from? I would be so grateful if someone could help me locate these items!
Congrats Amber, Kevin & Opal! I am one of the lucky ones! I get to have one of these yummies every week! May you always have love, success & loads of yummy cupcakes!
Oh my! That is a dream business indeed! The cupcakes look so beautiful and yummy! This is something to be envied of!
Where can I find the vases pictured on the shelves? I love them!
I love this post! I used to live in Santa Ynez when my husband had his own horse training business! LOVED it there. The photos are so beautiful!
Take Care,
Maria
