Treats from a friend

We had friends over for dinner, and while the dinner was tasty, the DESSERT was the highlight of the evening (which is pretty typical for me, I guess). Leslie brought over her latest cupcake concoction without even knowing of my affection for all things caramel.  The cupcake was her newly-created Bananas Foster cupcake, which didn't sound that appealing since I am not the hugest banana dessert fan. HOWEVER, when she mentioned that the cupcake was a banana cake and the frosting was "salted caramel", I knew I would be a fan. You really can't go wrong with caramel. It's basically just butter and sugar. (Love 'em separately and love 'em even more together.) The cupcakes were topped with chopped banana chips. Eating treats that have an artistic flair or a little fancyness always make them even more delicious doesn't it?  There were a few cupcakes left at the end of the night and Leslie left them for me  my family and me to enjoy. I didn't even have to beg. As she was leaving, she was brainstorming other cupcake flavors to combine with the salted caramel frosting. I think I will be having Leslie and her cupcakes over again soon.
