Bananas Foster Cupcakes

I have a cupcake addiction. Every single cupcake recipe I see, I want to try. They are all just so cute and delicious :) When we had a party last weekend, I was extremely excited about the prospect of trying a few new cupcake recipes!

I saw these Bananas Foster Cupcakes awhile ago on Erin's Food Files, and they just looked so wonderful. I am happy to report that they are every bit as delicious as they look! The cupcake part is like a sweeter, fluffier, and more awesome banana bread and the frosting is a basic cream cheese frosting, but with cinnamon and rum. Can't go wrong with that :)

I copied Erin and also recorded the flambe-ing. Because of my slight fear of fire, I had Kate do the dirty work while I recorded the event :) I sound kind of insane on this video, but oh well! We got some pretty nice flames going on!

WOW!!!!!!

#1 I'm MEGA jealous of your flames! I guess that's what I get for halving the recipe.

#2 Your pictures are GORGEOUS! I'm jealous again.

#3 You sound no more insane than I did in my flambe experience.

I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe, I know I did! :D

I don't even like cupcakes but these were real good. I ate mine in a single bite... Should have grabbed you to snap a photo of it. Next time :)

Fourth: I heart you and Kate.
