Here’s a peek into a box I prepared a few weeks ago for a client who wanted a dozen Vanilla Bean and a dozen Banana Montana cupcakes. I love how you can see the specks of real vanilla bean in the vanilla frosting- and the peanut buttery brownness of the other!

Can you tell how much I love doing this? Because I do. You’d think that after all the recipe testing and baking, I’d be tired of cake- but I’m beginning to realize that I’ll never be tired of cake. Just looking at the photo above, which I took myself, makes me want some cake now.
