I am just a big hunk o’love, and all that separates you from having a sugary affair with me is a glass case and a few dollars. When it’s my time to shine in the spotlight, I put on my showy edible costume and turn on the charm. You will be overcome with my debonair good looks flirting with you from behind the counter. I am dressed up in oversized swirls of thick peanut buttercream, topped with a banana chip doing its best not to get lost in my fluffs of frosting. I see you smiling back at me, and before you know it, you decide to make me all yours.
You will find yourself eagerly unwrapping me to admire my delicious layered self, which holds an inner secret. Sink your teeth into my peanut-filled creamy frosting, followed by moist spice cake rolling around with flavors of banana. Just when you think it can’t get any better, you take one more bite to discover my hidden decadent chocolate hazelnut ganache filling. I know, I know, I am too good to be true. I just curl my lips, lower my voice with my southern drawl and say, “thank you, thank you very much.”
What I’ve heard from my audience: “This is the king of all cupcakes.”
