Irish cocktail whiskey chocolate ganache cupcakes in jars for St. Patrick's Day

Blogger ever clever mom made Irish cocktail cupcakes in jars for St. Patrick's Day! She's got the recipe and writes:

Serving the cupcakes up in jars means the frosting can be creamier and I added a lot more of that whiskey chocolate ganache this way. I love the way they turned out in the glass with the frosting on top... almost like little pints of Guinness.

Spicy dark chocolate ancho chili fudge cupcakes plus recipe link

One half of food bloggers The Foodie Couple made these spicy dark chocolate cupcakes with ancho chile chocolate ganache and fudge frosting for the other's birthday and writes:

The best part of the cupcake was the wonderful ganache so thick and gooey with just a hint of ancho spice. The cupcake itself was also very moist the ancho chili and cinnamon were just back notes to the dark chocolate. And the fudgy frosting...so good.

Banana lover cupcake alert: Bananas Foster, banana chocolate chip and peanut butter banana at Brooklyn Cupcake

I stopped by Williamsburg, Brooklyn bakery Brooklyn Cupcake today to try their new banana cupcake flavors and I loved them all! I'm not even sure which one was my favorite. I will say the Bananas Foster is less like a cupcake and more like a dessert you'd eat after a meal at a restaurant. It was warm and gooey and delicious, with the banana and rum filling all gooey and oozing out from the cake, and their deliciously light and sweet whipped cream frosting. They went around tasting various Bananas Foster desserts at restaurants, at the suggestion of a customer (yes, you have that power as a customer!) and spent two weeks perfecting this special cupcake. If you try the Bananas Foster, use a fork! That's not one you want to bite into and get all over you. It will probably be for sale on weekends, and is on sale today; call them if you want to check on that day's flavors, or visit brooklyncupcake.com or their Facebook page. All are highly recommended, and their cupcakes are $2.50 each.





The other other new banana flavors are banana chocolate chip, featuring chocolate chip banana cake and a chocolate ganache topping, and an excellent, rich, thick peanut butter frosting on banana cake. The peanut butter frosting had the consistency of peanut butter, almost, but was sweeter. All three banana cupcakes were excellent.

Sponge Candy Cupcake!!!!

If you're from Buffalo, or visited Buffalo, you most likely have tried sponge candy.

"Sponge Candy is a succulent piece of candy with an inside that tastes somewhat like molasses and caramelized sugar. It’s texture is very unusual in that it is crisp at first and then melts away in your mouth. And of course, don’t forget the creamy blanket of milk chocolate or dark chocolate that covers that tasty inside." from spongecandy.com
