Strawberry, strawberry........and bacon?

Hope everyone had a good week! I for one hate waking up at 7:30 A.M. every morning for work, but a good cupcake that we made the night before definitely brightens my day, especially with a good cup of coffee. Calories don't exist in the cupcake world! Over the weekend we made a couple batches of strawberry cupcakes (we really should come up with better names for our cupcakes.. maybe we'll do a poll!). Anyway, this cupcake was moist (hate that word) and I liked the chunks of strawberry. Though out of all the kinds of strawberry cupcakes we've made, my favorite is our Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes. We ALSO made bacon cupcakes! Yes. Bacon. We thought, "These dark chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate ganache are pretty delicious, but what could make them even better?" Well, that's more or less how the conversation went.

We really try not to add a ton of icing mostly because we will try other cupcakes from different places and it's typically 90% icing. Would you like a little cupcake with your icing? I can just feel the cavities rejoicing. We work really hard on perfecting the cake, so why hide it behind tons of icing? I do love a good icing though and my favorite so far has been the strawberry lemon combination, but the candied bacon on top of our Double Chocolate Bacon cupcakes definitely takes the cake! (Badum pshh....get it? Takes the cake? Cause we sell cupcakes.....Never mind.) I could just eat them everyday for every meal, for the protein of course. If you're interested in making your own candied bacon, there are TONS of recipes out on the internet, but ours are the best of course. We are making cupcakes for a child's birthday party soon, so stay tuned for what we come up with and pictures of what I can only imagine as a bunch kids running around in complete chaos with icing on their faces. Exciting none the less.

P.S. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Keep spreading the word! We're so close to picking a winner for our Facebook contest to giveaway a free half dozen variety cupcakes!
