boxed and ready

I am on a cooking thing this week and the latest thing was red velvet cupcakes. Tomorrow will be spent using my 5 bunches of super ripe bananas to make anything banana that you can imagine! Please keep the banana tips coming. As for today, I am going to hand off these cupcakes to some special friends, one of which is the super savvy brain of Oh, hello friend.

Of course, the outside has to be as enticing as the inside (at least, I hope the cupcakes are enticing).

Then, I must not forget to allow me and my baby to indulge in at least one, okay maybe two cupcakes, to get the day started.

Happy weekend all! Anyone have any special plans? Besides baking tomorrow, I will be doing house stuff and then on Sunday after gathering with our church family, we are headed to the beach! 

See you Monday!

  2. Yum! Love the red velvet cupcakes pics! I made them for Sebastian's birthday cupcakes with a little bit of cherry filling and they were so yummy!

    Good thing I made it to the YMCA this morning because you know this is going to lead to an all day craving.

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful life!

  3. I've wanted to make red velvet cupcakes for some time now, you've inspired me, I think I'll make them today : ) I made pink velvet cupcakes for my daughters 6th bday party this year! And for my youngest daughter's 5th birthday this month we made a rainbow cake, it was so pretty cutting into all those yummy colours inside!

  4. those look delish! what i like to do with really ripe bananas is to freeze them, them use them in smoothies instead of ice. it acts as the "ice" and makes the smoothie much more creamier and less gritty :)

    loving your blog!

  6. Giada's recipe for banana cupcakes is killer! I made them for Sam's third birthday celebration at church this year. They were a hit.
    Have a happy weekend!
