Ba ba ba banana!

When you read the above title did you think about the all the bananas sitting on your counter and in your freezer that you just can't seem to use up? Or does it elicit an image of the minions from Despicable Me?

Well, I just can't seem to be able to use up all the bananas I keep receiving in my co-op box. I very determinedly set out to use up some of these persistent fruits and found a cupcake recipe that not only used bananas for the cupcake mix, but also used bananas in the frosting! I managed to polish off three whole bananas. Check out this easy and delicious recipe: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Frosted-Banana-Cupcakes

I made very few changes to the recipe with the exception of using butter instead of shortening (you can use a 1:1 butter-shortening exchange ratio) and doubling the frosting recipe. I topped off the finished frosted cupcakes with banana runts.

Look - I was able to use my cake platter!

Banana runts make the perfect topping.

And in honor of bananas (and also just because I love shoes - especially high-heeled boots!), take a gander at these fabulous Louboutin Daf Booty Jaune de Naples Suede high heeled boots:

Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o!!
