Banana Split Cupcakes!


I have always loved the idea of taking completely different desserts and dishes and turning them into cupcakes! For example, bacon and breakfast cupcakes or Starbucks latte inspired cupcakes. I think it's really interesting that some people can recreate those flavors into cute little cupcakes, and the same goes for these precious banana split cupcakes!

These were made by Allie at Cake & Allie. She started with banana cake and mixed in strawberries and pineaple.  They're topped with whipped frosting, chocolate ganache, sprinkles, and a cherry!

Pumpkin Ghost Cupcakes


 
Kirbie’s Cravings made these super cute ghost cupcakes! I tried to top some cupcakes with ghosts kind of like these in my dorm room once, and they did not turn out like this. I used the wrong kind of frosting, but Kirbie’s Cravings did it right!

These spooky cupcakes are pumpkin cupcakes topped with ganache frosting and meringue ghosts and they have a surprise ganache filling inside!

For the recipe and instructions, go here.

Mini-Macaron Cupcakes


Cupcakes and macarons are pretty darn cute by themselves, but when you put them together and the macarons are mini-macarons, they’re “baby panda cute”.  At least they are to the people over at CupcakeProject, and I have to say I agree with them %100.

First, she made mini-macarons with ganache filling and then made angel food cake cupcakes with caramel frosting.  I love the colors she decided to use for the macarons.  They match the cupcake liners and the brightness adds to their cuteness. 

To check out the full post and how to make mini-macarons, head over to CupcakeProject.
