Family was in town this weekend for my dad's retirement party so of course I took it upon myself to do some baking... actually the real reason I got to cooking in the kitchen was that a beloved coworker of mine had her last day on Friday. I bring cupcakes into work so much that it only seemed right to bring a batch in to her one last time. She wasn't specific about flavors so I made strawberry vanilla. The cupcakes were vanilla flavor with a strawberry on the inside and strawberry icing. I was such a spaz about getting the treats into work that I completely forgot to take a picture. Whoops.
Anyway so with my family in town my cousin and I got to talking. He's getting married October 2012 (congrats Jack!) and he mentioned me maybe making some cupcakes for his wedding. We talked a little bit about flavors, nothing too in depth, and he mentioned a friend of his had some chocolate banana cupcakes that were to die for. Why didn't I think of that!?! Inspired with a new cupcake idea I hit the kitchen. It took me a minute to figure out how to flavor the cupcakes, mashed banana and banana pudding. After that it was only a matter of dipping them in my chocolate ganache frosting. Rave reviews. Disappointed I didn't get to share the joy of this new flavor with work, I'll have to bring them in something this week. I promised Kyle I'd give a shot at mint cookies and cream. We shall see.
