So we’re on our way again to LA to visit YouTube Space LA tomorrow and we’ll finally be able to announce the program that we’ve been working with YouTube on for the last 6 months! Keeping a secret for that long has been hard. It’s not exactly a secret that we’ve been in LA . . . you can tell by the random places/kitchen’s we were filming in in August and November (expect some more soon too!) What we’ve had to keep secret is exactly what (other than videos) we’ve been doing there. When we’re officially allowed to announce it, I’ll be sure to let you know what we got to work on! I’ve got a little black cloud hanging over me though as my program bestie isn’t going to be able to make it as she has an incredibly sick family member. But, it’s looking as though he is over the worst part and is on the road to healthy.
On to the cupcakes . . .
The idea for these cupcakes came to me while I was shopping in our local grocery store . . . the Superstore. Canada is so original in it’s naming of stores. I knew I had a delicious banana cupcake recipe, and a ton of ripe bananas ready to be smashed into something delicious, so I grabbed these long baking trays. . . they’re meant for baking breads and gift giving. If you’re looking for your own and can’t find any by looking for banana split stuff, try searching for “food tray” or “hot dog tray”.
In the video, I left the cupcake wrappers on the cupcakes as I put them into the tray. Honestly, I was sure about whether to remove them or not. I think if I was to go back and actually eat the banana split, having the wrappers on the cupcakes might eating it a little bit difficult . . . but then if you were sharing it, you might want the wrappers so your cupcake doesn’t touch the other person’s spoon?!?!? I just don’t know!!
