Banana Orange cupcakes

Cake Cake Cake...

To be honest, this isn’t really a cupcake, it’s kind-of a banana bread/muffin hybrid. I was all set to make orange cakes in the orange cups with orange butter cream, but as luck would have it, the bananas I had stored away in the refrigerator were ready to be baked. So instead of baking two things I decided to combine the banana bread with my orange cupcake idea to create banana bread infused with orange flavor, turned out pretty nice.

Not your mothers Pineapple upside-down cupcake

Cake Cake Cake...

By now you all should know how much I love an upside down cupcake. I have tried blueberry and strawberry upside down cupcakes in the past. However the pineapple upside down is the most socially acceptable. Since I’m never one to follow rules and traditions I did the pineapple upside down my way.

Chocolate cupcakes with Ganache n bacon

"Feast of Saint Valentine"

Well if is isn't chocolate and meat....again. This time good ole bacon. 

Remember as a child, when you did not want your food to touch? Your eggs bacon and pancakes had to be totally separated. Then you grew a little older and accidentally had pancakes, bacon and syrup all in one bite. You enjoyed the salty sweet combo. To seal the deal Mc Donald’s introduced the bacon egg and cheese mc griddles and you dared to brave this new territory of salty sweets. Yes I remember too, I think everyone on earth realized at the same time, how great a combo it was. I’m sure that’s when the world council unanimously decided that bacon should top everything, not just a breakfast plate.  And I totally agree with their decision.

Strawberries are oh so Yummly

Strawberry upside down cupcake with an orange butter cream filling

It’s been a long time since I have used strawberries to make a dessert, years actually. I tend to order strawberry desserts from restaurants but never actually make them. Interestingly enough they are one of the easiest to find in the grocery store, always stocked. Yet still, I tend to go for blue berries and apples. So today I am proud to say no blueberries were harmed in the making of this dessert. 

Holy Chicken pot cornbread muffins

Leftovers are a gift from god. Apparently food fairies that live in our fridge sprinkle crack on our food overnight. Its no secret I often try to cook large portions on a Sunday to allow the fairies to work their magic on Monday’s lunch. So here I was one Sunday wanting to make some chicken pot pie, but as we all know there is nothing worse than reheated crust.
