For the Cupcake:
Ingredients-1 yellow cake mix, 3 (more than) ripe bananas (mushed), 1 c. water, 1/2 t. baking soda and follow the number of eggs, and oil the back of the box calls for on the back (The recipe I used also said you can use this same basic cake mix+any fruit recipe with just about any fruit and a different variation on this cupcake.)
Instructions-Mix all ingredients together, and bake at 350 for 18 minutes.
For the Filling:
Ingredients-1 small instant banana pudding package, 2 c. of milk, 1 t. vanilla
Instructions-Mix all ingredients together, and chill for 30 minutes before filling cooled cupcakes. I like to carve off the top, you can also push the filling in with a piping bag and tip, pick your poison.
For the Icing:
Ingredients:1 small package instant vanilla pudding, 1 c. milk, 1 t. vanilla, 8 oz extra-creamy whipped topping, 1/4 c. powdered sugar.
Instructions: Mix and chill for thirty minutes, and then ice and top with crushed vanilla wafers, or chocolate shell decorations. I bought this mold at the dollar store, and took a little white chocolate and pink chocolate, melted it, and gently stirred the two colors together, poured it in the mold, and put it in the freezer until set.
I wanted to put these in little buckets, and throw the crushed wafers on top to look like sand. These were the only buckets I could find (at US Toys).
The birthday sayings didn't really go with my summer beach theme, so I covered them with some scrap paper, and then plopped a cupcake inside. Took a picture, and dug in....This recipe made a VERY full 24 cupcakes, after my dog snagged 9 in literally less than a minute (I walked out of the house and forgot they were cooling on the counter, remembered at the end of my sidewalk and ran back in to witness Mr. Licking-His-Lips. For the last 11....I just did this....
I love these mini-vanilla waffers. P.s. I think the icing is my favorite part....very light. I piled it high, to the point of toppling in one case, it's how the best cupcakes are made!

Christy, I can't connect to the link for the cupcake competition. I want to see how no one can compare to you. The picture link is not working. The dog must be so happy you left the snack for him.
Those look seriously delicious!
Im actually eating banana pudding as I'm writing this comment!!!!
Banana's not my thing, but I think I might try this with raspberries. Those ones you posted at the end look amazing though. I'd probably eat them just on the basis of looks alone.
Awesome job with the cupcakes good luck with the challenge and looking forward to seeing more
How wonderful! I'm definitely bookmarking this one!
So creative! Love the little buckets!!!
These look so good, an bet they taste yummy. What a cute, clever idea.
A winner in my book.
I've been wanting to try a cupcake recipe like this for awhile too. Makes me think of a more portable, less mushy version of Banana Pudding. Looks yummy, thanks!
YUM!!! Ohmygosh, Im totally going to have to add this to my "to bake" list!
You come up with the most clever ideas! Thanks so much for adding these to the Cupcake Challenge!
