Boston Cream Doughnut

I made these a while ago... but life has been a little crazyy.  This was my version of a Boston Cream Doughnut (which is my favorite doughnut by the way)!  I started with making the bavarian creme filling.  The recipe was simple, yet delicious.  Next I used a classic yellow cupcake recipe which I have used before in previous recipes.  Although I was a little skeptical, I decided to do a milk chocolate frosting.  I am not a fan over an overabundance of chocolate, but this recipe was amazing.  Because I loved this cupcake so much, I'm not going to share the recipe because I hope to sell it in the future =P  But I highly recommend everyone to try different recipes to create their own boston cream doughnut!!

Going Banana's...

Banana Walnut Cupcake with Caramel Icing and Hazelnut Filling

     I should start off by telling you that I am not a huge banana person, so I wasn't expecting this to cure my cupcake taste buds.  I decided to do a banana cake with walnuts because my husbands curious mind decided that was what he wanted yesterday.  Along with it I paired a caramel frosting and a hazelnut filling (at his request).  The three flavors together turned into a wonderful combination.  I'm not one for extra sweet things, but if you are this cupcake is for you.  Sprinkled with crushed walnuts as a finish gave the overall appearance and texture a boost. The cupcake was very moist, but next time I will add a tiny bit more hazelnut liqueur.  Other than that it was wonderful.  My husband took the remaining cupcakes with him to work and he said that the women loved it..  Yum-Yum!

Here was my end result:

Enjoy & Happy Baking!!
