Bonfire s'mores and banana split cupcakes plus recipe links from Sweetology

Whoa! Most of you know I have a huge fondness for any and all s'mores cupcakes, but blogger Sweetology has taken what we know as the s'mores cupcake and added a summer twist to it by making bonfire s'mores cupcakes! Yum! They look amazing. Click through for the recipe.







And while I was poking around Sweetology I found these banana split cupcakes, which are also extremely impressive! Again, click through for the recipe.







You also get a bit of food history from her post - here's a snippet (and really, don't all of us wish we could go down in history as having invented a food that people delight in and eat for a hundred-plus years afterward?):



One of the most popular desserts in America, the Banana Split

was invented by David Evans Strickler, a 23-year-old apprentice pharmacist at

Tassel Pharmacy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1904.



Strickler created his Banana Split with three scoops of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) on a halved banana topped off with chocolate, marshmallow, nuts, whipped cream, and a cherry (he also commissioned a local glass company to create a long, narrow dish to accommodate a banana).

These cupcakes are all gluten-free, vegan and allergy-friendly!
