Cupcake Friday!

This will be the first of many cupcake Fridays. The first cupcake I named this first one after my childhood best friend Anna Banana. Anna is my dog. She was always there for me when I need her and I was there for her when she needed someone to pet her. To go along with the banana theme I made a banana cupcake with mini chocolate chips in it, with a chocolate butter cream and a candied banana on top.

It is a simple banana cake recipe, I add the chocolate chips in mini ones because the normal size ones are to much for the cupcakes. Then I used a easy butter cream recipe that you can find on the back of the bag and add a 1/2 cup of Hershey coco power to the butter cream to make it chocolate. 

To candy bananas slice the banana in quarter sized pieces and than round them in granulated sugar. Than cook them in a non-stick pan till the turn golden and are ready to come off the pan. Be careful, because it is hot sugar that is around the banana and can give bad burns if the touch you. Once everything has cooled down than put everything together and you have an Anna Banana Cupcake! :)

I like making different cupcake favors for everyone in my life and I like to come up with them myself. Each one has a story behind why I picked the favors I did. Check in every Friday to see what cupcakes I come up with next.
