The story behind the recipe:
A friend of mine challenged me to create a chocolate banana cake that would rival that of a bakery in downtown Toronto. This is the result. I found a regular chocolate cake recipe and added bananas and swapped out the milk with strawberry yogurt (mainly because that’s what I had in the fridge).
I’ve since then have put it in cupcake form.
Bubble Bobble cake requested by a friend for someone's 16th birthday.
Although this is a baking blog, allow me to release my inner geek to tell you Bubble Bobble was one of many happy memories from my childhood. When my friend asked me if I’ve heard of it, I got so excited at the prospect of design a Bubble Bobble themed cake, I accepted without hearing any details.
In fact, let’s all take a trip, shall we? Let’s wiki this thing!
Through no fault of my own, the Internet seemed to have found me. Actually, that’s not true: I spend most of my time on the Internet; it really doesn’t take a lot of effort to find me. Anyway, word got around via Twitter that Cupcake Camp (which originated in San Francisco) was a novel idea and that Toronto needed one. Luckily me and my friends had aspirations to make this happen but needed the right kick in the a$$ (more accurately - need to find a good venue!).
Enter BlogTO! This is fantastic - before it was just a neat idea but now I know the amount of interest outside my circle of friends. I’ve gotten so much support and offers to help from cupcakers and bakers alike. The Cupcake Camp Facebook group got so many new members just over night. Thanks goes out to all who have emailed, PM’d or Twittered (tee-hee) me about it! Cupcake Camp is all about community and we’re gonna make this happen, stay tuned!
