If I
could eat sweets all day, every day and be healthy, I would for sure.
Look at these cupcakes. Don't they just look yummy? You don't have to be
a baker to make delicious cakes or cupcakes. I would love one day to be
a pastry chef or real baker, but I would definitely need to clone
myself. This way is good for me as well. Sandra Lee has the concept as
she uses part home made and part store bought. I just love watching all
my favorite ladies cook.
Ingredients:
1 box on yellow cake mix
1 container of cream cheese frosting
1/2 tsp. of banana extract (if you have)
2 bananas sliced, but not until ready to serve or they will get brown
Cinnamon
Directions:
Make cupcake batter according to the box. When cooled, combine the
frosting and the banana extract. When I use pre made frosting I always
remove from container and give a couple of swirls with my hand mixer to
get some air in. It makes for a fluffier frosting. For this recipe I
got creative and put the frosting into a Ziploc baggie and just
gave each cupcake a quick swirl. I refrigerated the cupcakes because
sometime I like cold icing. When it was time to serve, I topped each
cupcake with 2 banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Pretty and
delicious.
