First Ever Dorm Cupcakes!

We have some exciting news!  Last week, we moved into the dorm that we will be sharing this year in college.  We were lucky enough to get an “Apartment Style” dorm, meaning we have our own kitchen and bathroom to share between the two of us.  Of course one of the first things we did was test out our new kitchen by baking cupcakes!  It was a little cramped and we didn’t have access to the resources that we usually do, so they turned out a little messy looking...oh well.  Also, the lighting in our dorm is not ideal, so the pictures are not as clear as usual.

Banana Chocolate Cupcakes

For our June cupcakes we made miniature chocolate cupcakes topped with a banana frosting.  We decided to go simple with the decorations and just add chocolate sprinkles.  Here is the recipe for the frosting:

Stir ½ a cup of butter with one medium sized banana and blend until it’s a smooth consistency.  Then, add 3 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time and ½ a teaspoon of vanilla.  Mix until smooth.

The frosting was delicious and was perfect with the chocolate cupcakes, but we would have liked it to be a bit thicker.  We suggest adding more powdered sugar or refrigerating it before piping it on. 

It was the first time we had made mini cupcakes and they were so cute!  They are the perfect little snack.
