Elvis Chocolate, Peanut Butter, & Banana Cupcakes1
Here are three explanations why:
1. The team you had been rooting for might have lost, a clear reason to place during intercourse all day.
2. You’re within a meals coma because you do not care about sports and ate all of the bread dip at the party instead (me)! Fat naps are needed.
3. No one likes Mondays anyway.
I say we simply stay home and bake cupcakes.
Here are the reality. I had an excellent weekend. I wish to press rewind and bake even more.
I got the idea for these cupcakes once i continued an exploration with a pal in Georgetown.
Majorly awesome cupcake center of the world apparently!
First we stopped at Baked & Wired This is where I had probably the most epic cupcake I’ve ever had in my life. Proper name: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Cupcake ON THE PLANET.
It was a banana cupcake topped with peanut butter frosting and glazed with chocolate. Did you know was Elvis’ favorite flavor mixture? (The Elvis Cupcake).
Following stop was Sprinkles!
I actually didn’t eat a cupcake at Sprinkles, but I’ve heard beef liver good for you stuff. This is the bakery that began the cupcake craze. The founder is definitely even a judge on Cupcake Wars.
Sprinkles is pretty popular, but how about Georgetown cupcakes?
There is a line beyond your door for these. People wait in the rain for DC Cupcakes. I’ve heard mixed testimonials. I didn’t eat a cupcake right here either, I used to be too complete from The Most Amazing Cupcake ON EARTH.
I don’t believe Elvis was the only one who enjoyed this flavor combination. These cupcakes had been devoured in a Superbowl party.
Let’s end up being honest… peanut butter frosting is always a success.
Hope you loved your weekend. Right now make these!
