Week 5 was the last tasting box I did before the holidays I decided to make one of the cupcakes fit in to the "Christmas" theme. Cupcake #1 is a gingerbread cupcake that is frosted with a vanilla buttercream frosting and decorated with a homemade mini gingerbread man. Cupcake #2 is a banana cupcake that is filled with a chocolate ganache and then frosted with a peanut butter mousse frosting and decorated with a dried banana chip. The peanut butter frosting was AMAZING, I could have eaten it by the spoonful, yum!
I took the time between Christmas and New Years off from cupcake testing, so I could spend the holidays with the family. We had a nice Christmas, my parents came up from VA and we had lots of visits from family in RI over the next week.
I am excited to see what 2012 will bring. I am working on lots of new tasty treats for the upcoming weeks, some of the flavors I am hoping to try are tiramisu, red velvet, hummingbird, carrot cake, maple bacon, and a few others.
