Craziest Cupcakes
Craziest Cupcakes
1. French Toast and Bacon Cupcake
You've heard the expression, “everything is better with bacon” – well, who knew that this included cupcakes? Anthony Bourdain's show “No Reservations” on the Travel Channel did an episode on Portland, Oregon. Voodoo Doughnut was a strange local shop that specialized in unique donuts, one being a maple cream stick with crisp bacon. This is where the idea of the French Toast and Bacon Cupcake was born. Savory and sweet work so well together, and since I already drown my bacon in maple syrup, why not? Cinnamon, nutmeg, and a bit more vanilla are the key extras in this yellow cake recipe that give it a French Toast feel. I should note, these cupcakes smell amazing while baking!
