Cupcake Hero:: September
August 23, 2009 at 1:01 AM | Posted in cupcakes | 36 CommentsToday’s the day. It’s what you’ve all been waiting so patiently to hear.
Cupcake Hero’s first ingredient!
I know I said new ingredient would be posted 1st of every month but I’m posting a little early to hype it up! Sok?
*drum roll*
Bet you NEVER thought I’d choose that!
Ok so I’m not a banana fan but September 21 is National Banana Day so I decided to make the first Cupcake Hero hard b/c trust me. It’s gonna take ALOT of creativity for me to like a banana anything. HA HA! But just so I’m not biased in my banana hate, my banana-loving husband and taste testers will help me.
What you waiting for? Push your kids out the door to school, fire up the Kitchen Aid mixer, get that butter to room temperature, screw in those piping tips and start baking!
Deadline: September 15th @ 11:59pm EST
BONUS:
First cup-testant to email me their entry *AND* add picture to flickr group will win a participation prize! How you like them cupcakes!? HA!
Congrats Jackie! You are the first cup-testant!

OOOh another challenge? Let me see if I can fit this in. Sounds like great fun!
Comment by Jamie — August 23, 2009 #
so, dumb question, but does this have to be an original recipe? Or am I allowed to steal, um, I mean borrow, someone else’s recipe? I promise to actually bake and take my own pictures! :)
Comment by jesstyler — August 23, 2009 #
Honestly the way I see it… is there really an “original” recipe anymore? I have no problems with anyone baking up something ingredient-for-ingredient but I hope that you will have some fun, substitute ingredients and try to bake outside your comfort zone too. Rule of thumb, give credit where credit is due. That’s kinda what I live by when I bake. Hope that helps! :)

OMG. I so can’t believe you picked bananas for this. I had to make sure I was looking at the right blog at first. HA HA :)

I know right!? I think I went insane for a little bit. Yup, that must be it. HA!

Wait a second! Let me wipe my eyes again as I must be seeing things. Bananas??? I scrolled down to the bottom of the page to make sure there was no April Fools statement. What a fun challenge!
Comment by Linda — August 24, 2009 #
LOL @ April Fools statement. Is it too late to add that footnote? :P
Comment by CB — August 24, 2009 #

Comment by stephchows — August 24, 2009 #
Bananas! Awesome, I wonder if I can come up with an inventive enough idea worthy of participating! Hope so!
Comment by apparentlyjessy — August 24, 2009 #
I know so!
Comment by CB — August 24, 2009 #
Bananas? Don’t get me wrong, I love bananas…on their own, not in anything. This is going to be rough.
Comment by Virginia — August 24, 2009 #
Bananas?!?!?! Yes!!! I was an out-of-town houseguest this past weekend, and my host sent me home with a bunch of speckled bananas to bake with. Lucky day :)

Hopefully I can Change your attitude towards bananas!!When do I have until?? I better dust off the ol recipe cards containing banana( does anyone else sing that Gwen Stafani song when they spell bananas??) :)
Comment by Kat Fuller — August 25, 2009 #
“…B-A-N-A-N-A-S!” Hopefully CB will be singing that song when she starts getting our entries in! We need to work hard to change her opinion about bananas!
