Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes

I love these cupcakes for two main reasons. One, they have Reese's peanut butter cups on them. Reese's are by far my favorite candy of all time. I ask for them every year in my Christmas stocking.  And I am currently making a Reese's cake for my friend's birthday tomorrow. I might have to make these cupcakes with the leftover candy. If there is any.

And two, I also love that The Curvy Carrot made the Reese's cups look like the cupcakes they're on. I have seen similar cupcakes on Pinterest, but I like these because the bigger cupcake kind of looks like a Reese's cup too with the black wrapper and chocolate cake. 

For the recipe and directions, head on over to The Curvy Carrot!

Surprise Robicelli's Happiness!

A gift of two awesome Robicelli's cupcakes fell into my lap last night. Well, okay, they didn't exactly fall into my lap literally, but I was the recipient of the surprise happiness and man, were those cupcakes fantastic! I was especially impressed with the butternut spice:

Butternut squash cake, vanilla buttercream, candied pumpkin seeds and butternut seed oil.

The cake was dense and inspired by the flavors of fall and yet seemed to cling to the end of summer. This cupcake is a wonder.

I was also loving the funky monkey, which was a bit damaged by its journey downtown, so it didn't photograph as well (sorry).

Banana chocolate chip cake, peanut butter buttercream, banana chip and ganache.

So creamy and rich and delicious. I wish I had another one right now. May be time for a trip to see the Robicelli's at Madison Square Eats.

Thanks, Allison!
