Cupcake Hero

I've got a busy weekend ahead of me in what I like to call my "Cupcake Corner." My cousin has offered to give me a hand in testing out some new cuppies. So, I will be baking TONS of cupcakes, practicing really yummy recipes with my cuz, and working on...CUPCAKE HERO!!


Now that I've given the *double fist pump* to Cupcake Hero, I'm getting really excited about my submission. This will be my first time ever competing in the Cupcake Hero competition hosted by CB of the iheartcuppycakes blog.

This month's ingredient is none other that the delectable BANANA! Yum! I'm conflicted about what cupcake to submit. AlthoughI know my Banana Split cupcakes are completely kick-ass delicious, I'm afraid that it is completely unoriginal and there will be hundreds of admissions of the same cupcake. I've got to think outside the box, if I want a good split.

I am pretty confident in my recipe for Banana split and have not had one complaint yet! (in fact I usually get a quite *whisper* orgasmic response when people taste them *giggles*)

I also came across what I thought was a pretty cool idea for the presentation of it all. I want to treat this cupcake like an actual Banana Split! I got some really great inspiration this week from Beanstown Baker's Cupcake in a Jar.

I'm not saying my entry will look exactly like this, but it inspired me to think of creative solutions to present a cupcake that may be a very common entry. Hopefully, CB give points for creativity! My creative thoughts are flowing. All I know--this cupcake must be eaten with a spoon!

Now, THAT's a banana split. Really, The whip cream frosting that I make is sol ight and delicate...I'm not sure another would stand up to it. It always taste so fresh and whole.

Stay tuned to see how my submission turns out and how my cousin and I weather baking in the same kitchen together :-) (oh, yeah there might be a few other recipes along the way ;-) ).

Until my next cupdate,
