It is often hard when you are out for a special dinner or at home to select one dessert, especially when they all look sooo good! But I am pleased to say that Buttercream Bakery has come up with a solution!!
The dessert on top of a dessert! In this case a banana split on top of a cupcake!
You can easily create these yourself and you have a few options! One is that you can create the bananas out of fondant and sit them on top of a vanilla frosting then top with a rich chocolate ganache. Another option is to actually use real banana (slice it in half longways, then in half again), frost your cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting then put the triangle side of your banana strip onto the cupcake (ensuring that you have trimmed it to the right length first).
Then instead of using a chocolate ganache, just melt some chocolate and while it is still warm spoon it onto the top of the cupcake! Yum!
Actually another great idea would be to add a bit of chocolate ganache to the inside of your cupcake too, for an extra indulgent treat!
Thanks Buttercream Bakery for bringing us this idea!

I have featured cupcake hamburgers before, but what about the cupcake sandwich! Today I have a visual gallery of cupcake sandwiches! Probably not the healthiest thing for the school lunch, but they sure do look interesting!
So whether you fill them with fruit, ice cream, cream cheese, frosting or fondant, why not try a cupcake sandwich? I can’t really go past the strawberries and cream!
This cupcake and ice cream sandwich is from the Cupcake Project's blog from a few years ago when they did a round up of cupcakes and ice cream. This one in particular is from Little Ivy Cupcakes and is a massive contender for the largest cupcake sandwich.
More traditional looking this cupcake sandwich is from 'Hector's take on Rose's Heavenly Cakes', which also uses ice cream to fill it.
My final example of the cupcake sandwich is this picture. The cupcake here was designed by Chrissy but I found it on the 'I Heart Cuppy Cakes' blog as part of the September 09 Cupcake Roundup.

My answer to this question is no. Unfortunately they are not popular down here in Australia, but it seems to me that this cupcake could be in the magic realm of the pumpkin cake and the carrot cake, insanely good, but from the list of the ingredients you just can’t quite imagine it.
The hummingbird cupcake features bananas, cinnamon, pecans and pineapple along with your standard cupcake ingredients like sugar and eggs! It is then topped with cream cheese frosting and pecans.
I am really keen to try these, especially as they fall in Bake or Break‘s top 10 cupcakes of all time, and that includes all the really good chocolate ones!
If you like me would like to try these, Bake or Break have a full recipe for the cakes and the frosting here on her blog.
