My Favorite Cupcake

Well, to tell you the truth, I have several.

The Lemon Buttercream is outstanding.  It just is.
I don't describe it as having the 'essence' of lemon.
It's salty, strong, pucker-up lemon force that will knock your socks off.
It goes on top of a plain vanilla white cupcake, & it is so good.
So very good that on some days it absolutely is my favorite.

My original favorite -
the Banana Cake with Wild Strawberry Buttercream.
Inspired from my favorite summertime treat - A Strawberry/Banana Shaved Ice.
Love it ;)
The Banana Cupcake is so so so good.  So soft that it melts in your mouth.
& guess what?
It tastes like Banana.  There's no guessing the flavor of this one - it's full-on Banana.
The Wild Strawberry Buttercream is absolutely my 'most favorite' icing.
But only when I make it.
It's not like anyone else's strawberry icing (I won't put theirs in caps because they don't deserve it).
I'm not being arrogant, just honest.
It's made with real strawberries.  & salt.
My mouth is watering right now.
Anyway, the soft sweet banana cake paired with the salty strawberry buttercream is just incredible.
Absolutely my favorite.  On most days.

Oh, but wait ... - just made the
Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate Fudge Buttercream.
The smell alone will make you feel like a little kid back in your momma's kitchen.
My momma makes those peanut butter kiss cookies - I just love them so much.
Well, that's what this cupcake tastes like.
I thought that it was so simple before, but now this just messes my brain all up.
This cupcake is really so so good.

It's now causing a rift between my feelings for the Strawberry/Banana.

I don't know if I can choose.
It's like telling your children that one of them is your favorite.
That's just heartless.
I don't think I can do it.

It's a good thing that I'm a woman, because my crazy witch-self has many moods.
I think I can handle them all.
Just depends on the day.

Those of you who haven't tried them don't need to spout off about how you 'don't do peanut butter' or you 'just don't think banana sounds that great', or whatever...
Truth is, you just don't know any better.

Watch out - they'll get you, too.
You're welcome.
I love you, too.
