Cupcakes

Ro loves cooking with me, so two weekends ago we decided to bake mini cupcakes together. The cakes were banana with candied ginger added. Ro couldn't wait till I made the frosting, so I squeezed some store-bought yellow tube thing on it. Anything with sugar works :)

Then we made the mocha buttercream, Ro helping me every step of the way, including squeezing the pastry bag.

Since I had more batter than cupcake trays, I also baked two loaves. These got a basket weave icing. Unfortunately, that icing head has since been sacrificed to the destructive forces of our in-sink aerator.

Mini cupcakes are a wonderful way to soothe that 8pm sugar craving without having to work out for 30 minutes in remorse.
