sunday, we made these cupcakes. originally they were supposed to be chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate whipped cream frosting and chocolate sprinkles on top. except while i was making them, i decided, i didn't want to use 3 whole eggs and the oil it calls for. instead, i used the egg whites only and a banana in place of the oil. i also added hershey's chocolate to the frosting, upon ryan's request.
and let me tell you what folks, those were the best darn cupcakes ever.
THE BEST!
i call them chocolate covered banana cupcakes.
seriously the moistest cupcakes i have ever eaten. you could definitely taste the banana, but it wasn't enough to totally overpower the chocolate. and probably not a good idea to add the banana if you were making something like a mint chocolate chip cupcake (which is what mackenzie has requested for her birthday next month)
so in honor of ryan's birthday today, here is a list of ryan's likes and dislikes so you can get to know him a little better.
you can usually find ryan doing these things:
- texting on his phone
- playing halo or dance central on xbox
- riding his ripstick in the neighborhood
- playing ninja wars on his computer
- listening to his ipod
- watching something scary or animal planet on tv
- slapping, poking, kicking, or annoying jacob
- eating tacos
- fishing in a river, lake, or pond
- talking about girls
- running from spiders
i love him to the moon and back. happy birthday ryan!
