Double Peach Cupcakes. Ever since I made Caramel apple cupcakes I've been wanting to try a similar recipe using fresh fruit puree, and so when I stumbled upon Cathlin Cooks but mostly Bakes peach cupcakes I knew I had to make them.

I have to tell I was absolutely amazed by the texture of these cupcakes alone but together with the creamy frosting they offered a refreshing, delicious Summer dessert. Storing them in the airtight container in the fridge I was able to enjoy them for several days, and I suggest you let the frosted cupcakes rest for several hours; actually I found the cupcakes to be even more delicious next day.These are also egg free,if you are looking for an egg free dessert these would fit the bill.

Caramelized Banana Blueberry Cupcakes. One word that would describe these would probably be....cupcakelicious...everything about these is delicious. Banana cupcake is decadently moist and you can really taste the banana! I was torn when it came to deciding on the frosting flavor; I went with my instincts : banana and blueberry make a perfect marriage in the yogurts, parfaits, and other frozen or baked goods so I decided on blueberry mousse.Can I just tell you that this combo really blew me away, it's like they both have been secretly in love and finally they said " I DO". You don't need much to enjoy these as they are good just like that , but I thought they needed a little garnish and since on my FB page many of you suggested caramel I added a slice of cooled caramelized banana with a piece of caramel candy I made.
