Check out the frosting on these banana cupcakes. Super smooth and creamy, cream cheese buttercream … so delicious and creamy. Did I mention creamy? I also used a little added yellow to tint the otherwise cream colored creamy cream cheese frosting … you know, just to enhance the senses. I’m tricky like that.
Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Banana Cupcakes
Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
Party them up a little bit with small pastel colored confetti sprinkles … just because it’s that kind of day.
But, these banana cupcakes need something else… something to keep them company.
A little friend maybe?
Yes definitely.
But my little monkey needs a friend, too.
So this little piggy and teddy joined in on the fun.
And so did my favorite martian, robot and bumblebee.
My head is actually going to explode from all this cuteness.
Could these be any more adorable? Look at that bumblebee bottom.
Why yes, yes they can! These cupcake toppers are also candleholders. I’m officially in love here.
And it gets even better. They want to be your friends, too. Not these, they’re mine. All mine.
But these could be all yours.
When I bought these cutie pies from the Lollipop Workshop [10] on etsy (also be cheery [11] on flickr), I bought enough for two more sets. And I want two of you to have one. Well I want all of you to have them, but I only have two sets to give away. (Martian and Robot colors may vary from above.)
All you have to do to enter is give me some advice.
You see, Lollipop Workshop also sent me something else … A surprise … when she mailed the cupcake toppers.
I’m 10000000% certain it will be crazy cute!
It’s in this box and I haven’t opened it yet.
Why?
Because she also sent this box for my little helper. So sneaky and sweet of her.
So the question is…
Should I wait until my niece visits again so we can open them together?
Should I rip open mine now and show you what’s inside?
Should I open both of them? I could re-wrap ’em and no one would be the wiser.
But I do like surprises. Hmmmm… tortured by sweetness.
Okay, so you know I’m really gonna wait, right.
But, I’m just curious – what would you do?

Good Luck!
And, here’s some more cuteness from Lollipop Workshop [10]. Custom cake toppers, lollidolls and candleholders. The store sells out quickly when she adds new products, so just send her a message if you need a custom order.
Okay, Time’s up and here are the two winners
#1619 – Elle
#831 – The Pettit Family
Congrats! You’re getting some super cute cupcake toppers!
