Pots of Gold {Individual Butterscotch Puddings}

Dessert is my favourite part of any meal.  I’ll forgo an entree to order dessert, and thankfully my beloved is usually of the same mind – so we get to share.  I don’t really discriminate when it comes to sweets.  I would generally choose sticky date pudding or tiramisu over creme brulee, but I will never turn dessert down.

Last night we had family over for dinner and I wanted to serve a dessert that would round the meal out perfectly, without being overly sweet or too heavy. Individual servings are very in right now, and I understand why.  Having your own beautifully presented dessert makes it seem that bit more special. Spooning bite-sized mouthfuls of creamy, silky, butterscotch flavoured deliciousness into your mouth  doesn’t get any more amazing than this.

Bananarama Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for Miss 4’s Hula Party primarily because I had an abundance of overripe bananas hanging out in the freezer taking up valuable space.  I figured banana flavours worked for a Hula themed affair and dug out this recipe from my folder that I had never tried before.  (I’m one of those people that used to – prior to Pinterest – tear or copy recipes out of magazines, stick them into my awesome Kikki-K recipe folder and then almost never actually make them.  Now I just pin everything and hope to get to it one day too!)

Anyway, for me, these were a stand out item and a recipe I will use over and over again.  The finished product was so moist and, although banana cake can sometimes be dry, these were so soft and almost fluffy.   Topped with insanely yellow banana flavoured buttercream frosting, they were as Bananarama as you’ll get!
