Pancake Cupcake

It's been a while since I've posted anything and I have a very good reason. Well, two very good reasons: I had a baby and we moved into a new house! I'm finally back in the kitchen and ready to dive into this cupcake thing full-force! Here's my recent creation...

I know this sounds like a really weird cupcake, but it's actually REALLY good! A light, fluffy buttermilk pancake cupcake topped with a wonderful maple butter cream frosting and sprinkled with bacon crumbles (well, I used turkey bacon since I don't eat red meat)...SO GOOD! It's a great combination of sweet and salty!

And for all of you that are thinking, "Eww, gross!" let me ask you this: Do you eat honey-baked ham? Haven't you ever accidentally gotten syrup on your bacon?

That's what I thought.  :)

Please excuse the picture quality. That's something I'm currently working on.
