Gone Bananas...

Banana Pudding and Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes

Today I spent the day baking cupcakes using my least favorite fruit, Bananas. I dislike bananas. My mom says I've hated them since I was little. The funny thing though, I love Banana flavored pudding, Banana flavored Taffy, Banana Chips, Banana Nut Bread and Coconut Banana Bread. I can scrap the bowl clean after I make one of these creations but when it physically comes to eating a banana, I gag. It's the texture. I know Bananas are good for you but I still can't stomach them. My sister on the other hand was born a monkey. She devours bananas and she has now passed this love for this tropical fruit on to her daughters. Maybe her son will not get the 'banana like' gene and can be like me.

Gone Bananas Cupcakes

The three types of cupcakes made today were Gone Bananas, Banana Pudding, and Banana Cream Pie. The Gone Bananas cupcakes are a banana cake topped with whipped cream and banana chips. The Banana Pudding and Cream Pie are similar except for the topping. Both are banana cakes filled with fresh banana curd. They are both topped with fresh whipped cream but the Banana Pudding has a wafer added to the banana chips while the Banana Cream Pie has graham crackers sprinkled on top. All three of them are delicious. Yes, I tried the cupcakes. Since it isn't the actual banana I can stomach it. They are tasty and will be given away tomorrow to lucky taste testers. Just one more new item coming to a farmers market near you.

If you are looking for something in particular, special order it and will bring it to a market where you can pick it up.

Over-The-Top Lemon Cupcakes

The last few weeks have been spent getting ready for Easter. We made a Lemon Layer cake with Lemon Curd and Mascarpone Filling and Frosting for Easter dinner. It was a light cake and didn't make one feel as if they ate too much for the holidays. The frosting was a pain to work with and I realized why I hadn't made this cake many times before. But the frustration was worth it. The final product came out lovely. I added a dark chocolate coconut 'nest' to the top and placed chocolate covered eggs in the nest. Everyone was pleased with the results. Since I had a lot of lemons left over I figured I would make some Lemon Cupcakes. These were also served for dessert and were also given to a customer for their Easter dessert. The cupcakes were a lemon cake filled with lemon frosting and topped with lemon frosting. Definitely a dessert that made your lips pucker but they got rave reviews from those that enjoyed them.

Nutty Professor Cupcakes

 

 

After the chaos of Easter Sunday, I had some time to work on a few more creations. The first one was the Nutty Professor. This cupcake is a white cupcake filled with coconut frosting and topped with more coconut frosting and shredded coconut. A drizzle of chocolate ganache and a few raw almonds make this cupcake delicious, almost like a candy bar I enjoyed growing up. The second and third creations were the Death By Chocolate cupcakes and the Caramel Mocha Delight Cupcakes. The Death By Chocolate and Caramel Mocha both have a chocolate cake as the base but that is where all similarities stop.

Death By Chocolate Cupcakes

The DBC cupcakes are filled with chocolate ganache and topped with chocolate butter cream frosting. A little bit of chocolate is grated along the top of the frosting. Just make sure you have a glass of milk to wash down all that chocolate.  The CMD cupcakes are not filled but are topped with Mocha butter cream frosting. They are also drizzled with homemade caramel sauce and just to make sure these cupcakes aren't too sweet, a little sea salt is sprinkled on top. A few espresso beans are added for those coffee lovers.

Caramel Mocha Delight Cupcakes

These are a few items we will be offering during the summer. They will join our cookies, breads, pies, and biscotti. The plan is to bring a few different types of cupcakes to the markets. During the season, more cupcakes using those berries that are in season, like Strawberry Milkshake and Shortcake, Blackberry Lemon. Traditional cupcakes like plain Vanilla and Chocolate will be available and the goal is to offer a few cupcakes for Adults, like Mojito, Strawberry Daiquiri, or Sangria. Of course these items can be purchased without coming to a Farmer's Market and these cupcakes can be made into a cake. Just give us a call or drop us an email. We look forward to seeing you at a market.
