"It's now or never" that's what Elvis said.

Passionate Presley is what I'm calling this creation! 

Peanut Butter and Banana - it was supposedly Elvis' favorite sandwich! I've created the sandwich in cupcake form kicked up a notch to include miniature chocolate chips. So what exactly are these cupcakes comprised of? My very own mad scientist creation which is a super moist Banana Cupcake studded with Miniature Chocolate Chips, Topped with Peanut Butter Butter Cream and finally garnished with a Slice of Fresh Banana. 

I will not divulge the recipe, nor will I show you the ingredients but I assure you the recipe is written down in the confines of Chez Granit. This is going to be added to my arsenal of recipes that I plan to develop to maybe, one day in the future, sell or start a business with. No, it won't only be cupcakes, but the first recipe is indeed a cupcake. I love bananas and I love peanut butter - who doesn't? 

 

Here is a picture of the freshly baked and cooled naked cupcake.

Here is a picture of the cupcake in it's finished, iced form. I named this cupcake the "Passionate Presley" because if you know anything about Elvis, he was passionate about EVERYTHING and just simply calling a cupcake "The Elvis" sounded slightly silly to me. 

My precious husband who puts up with and most importantly fully supports my baking efforts thought they were extraordinary! I myself, think they're good but could be improved upon slightly. What's funny is that as I'm writing this I am currently watching Hell's Kitchen. As everyone knows Gordon Ramsay has incredibly high standards when it comes to food. I think that I might top him in the standards that I have for myself in the kitchen, especially when it comes to baking. I will accept nothing short of perfection! 

Here's another view of the iced cupcakes. I'd love to hear what you guys think and some other unusual sweet food items you would like to see in cupcake, cake or cookie form. 

Next up this week: Baking for the Berry's - stay tuned!
