PB&J- a classic favorite...but in a cupcake!?
Along with the cookies (see below) I was asked to make some cupcake favors for baby Jane's welcome to the world party. Jane's mom was interested in doing a peanut butter and jelly cupcake because her husbands name starts with a P, her name starts with a B and their baby Jane is obviously the J! How cute is that to have perfectly put together initials that spell a delicious treat like peanut butter and jelly!? Once I heard that I was pretty excited cause I like cute stuff like that but I was a little concerned how peanut butter and jelly would turn out in a cupcake format. I mean, it can't really go wrong- but will it be just right?!
Well let me tell you- it was ALL kinds of right. This cupcake seriously tasted JUST like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!! I actually surprised myself with this one and I was super excited when I knew I hit the mark! I ended up making a classic moist vanilla cupcake, then piped strawberry jelly directly into the cupcake and topped it with a peanut butter-cream cheese frosting! I still felt like it needed a little more jelly so I ended up piping the top with some extra jelly for some added flavor! yum yum yum!
On another note- while making this cupcake I found myself asking everyone which kind of jelly they liked best on their PB&J. I'm a grape jelly kind of girl- how bout you?
