Epic Cupcakes

Have you ever had one of those days where you are in a funk and you can’t pin point why or what is bothering you? Today was just one of those days. I went shopping with Ami banking on the fact that if I bought a fun new dress it would help get me out of my funk. Well I did get a cute new dress but I was still feeling a bit low so I did what I know always cheers me up: I baked!

I made cupcakes, but not just any cupcakes. I paired mine and Ami’s two favorite flavors to make some of the best cupcakes I have ever had. I took my mom’s banana bread recipe and used that as a cupcake batter. So yes, these cupcakes were nice and dense. To top off these lovely cupcakes I made a peanut-butter frosting.

It's official that I need to work on my frosting skills a bit, but found when I closed my eyes and pretended to be blind my taste buds were in heaven!
