I am planning on taking cupcakes to Jaos’ work tomorrow for his birthday. I dont want to go to the store. Its snowing out, and I am lazy. I want to make 2 kinds because I need about 36 cupcakes. I have a ton of bananas that are primed for baking. You know, turning nice and brown and yuck. I have several kinds of chocolate. I have a can of dulce de leche. I have peanut butter. I have different kinds of jams and jellies. I have butterscotch chips. And you know I have coffee.
What flavors should I bake?

How can you choose from all of the ingredients that you have on hand? You could do a PB and banana with a chocolate frosting……or a dulce de leche and coffee….hmmmm, decisions, decisions….
Comment by April January 24, 2008 @ 10:55 amYou’ve probably got some molasses, ground ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, so you could make gingerbread cupcakes — the recipe on allrecipes is very good (though their icing recipe is really wrong–any other cream cheese icing works)

Comment by Carrie January 24, 2008 @ 11:28 amWhat Did You Eat? has a fantastic Hunk of Burning Love cupcake. It’s a banana cupcake with a chunk of chocolate in it and a spicy peanut butter frosting. It’s really tasty.
I also like just plain hershey chocolate cupcakes.
Comment by Mary January 24, 2008 @ 2:36 pmI love the peanut butter and jelly idea.
Comment by temperedwoman January 24, 2008 @ 3:49 pmI’ll bet anything you still have some rum left- why not create a Bananas Foster cupcake?
There are some recipes at: http://www.cupcakefun.com/ideas/sf_bananafostercinnfilling.cfm

I think you can come up with something better than those tho. The butterscotch chips/ dulce de leche and bananas made me think of it- same flavors really.
April- The funny part is, I have a little of this and a little of that. Not like a whole lot of anything. My pantry is a mess.
Laura- Good idea, jaos loves gingerbread too!
Carrie- Thats what I have been craving. PB Nanner Chocolate.. YUM
Mary- OoOo Ill have to check it out. Spicy PB sounds very interesting.
TW- I do have rum left, how did you know
Thanks for the links babe, Im def going to look into it. Id like to put that rum to good use, other than its typical rum n coker Ive been having on occasion.
Comment by slush January 24, 2008 @ 5:00 pmCan’t you just make all of them? It’s to hard to choose!
Comment by Mrs, L January 24, 2008 @ 6:26 pmWhat about making the chocolate into brownies with a little blob of dulce de leche in the middle topped with an espresso buttercream frosting?
Or…
A Banana peanut butter cupcake with chocolate chips and chocolate frosting.
Or…
