French Toast and Bacon Cupcakes

So like I've said before, I LOVE cupcakes. And, seeing as cupcakes are becoming increasingly popular, there are all kinds of new cupcake recipes being shared in the blog world every day.  For example,
the french toast cupcake. 

I have been intrigued by this recipe for over a month now and last night I decided to be brave and attempt to pull it off.  And let me just say, I am so glad I did. They are fantastic.

I used the recipe from the website above

But I decided to use this icing 

Notice the maple extract in the picture

I actually used regular pancake syrup instead

Words can't describe how amazing it tastes

Mom enjoyed them :)

Here's my final product

The bacon is a nice touch because it adds a little salty to go with the sweet

Now go make some and enjoy!
