I ate a cupcake that had BACON SPRINKLES.
(Katie, I totally thought of you.)
Yes, that top right cupcake was a banana cupcake with peanut butter frosting and bacon sprinkles. It was called the "Elvis Cupcake." During our visit with the in-laws this weekend (they live outside of Austin), my mother-in-law and I poked around a really cute town called Wimberley. Of course I had to stop at their cupcake stand.
So, what do I think of said bacon sprinkles? Honestly, I was surprised it didn't really taste that bacon-y. The rest of the cupcake overwhelmed it, and I didn't get a salty mouthful of bacon. Well, it was still fun to say I dared to do something new.
What about y'all? Anything new and EXCITING (I know bacon sprinkles is hard to top) this weekend? Hope you all are enjoying your day off! (If you're off, that is. If you're not off work, I'm sorry to rub it in. But not really.)

Somehow, banana-flavored cupcake with peanut butter and bits of bacon don't seem very appealing to me. But that double-chocolately looking one on the bottom right, that's a different story... that one looks DIVINE
Our state fair sells crispy bacon strips that you DIP into melted dark chocolate. I'm not going to lie - it's like the best thing I've ever had. Would I eat it everyday? No, but it was a nice change of flavors in my mouth! I bet the cupcake was AMAZING!
That sounds good! I think I would try it!
I went to two cupcake boutiques in Chicago and thought of you! Will be blogging about them soon! :)
I don't think I'd be brave enough to try it, but glad you liked it! We are going to Wimberly next month for a wedding & I'm excited to check out the wineries there.
hmmm something about bacon sprinkles scares me.. however i happen to very much enjoy bacon and cupcakes so i'd probably try it too! (more so for my love of cupcakes than bacon..)
I dunno how I feel about this!
That seems like such a strange combo, but I'll try anything (mostly anything) at least once!
There is a place in Chicago that has a breakfast cupcake: pancake cake batter, bacon bits, maple syrup. It's heavenly!
Exciting! I rode a horse for the first time ever, bareback...it's no big deal...but I felt like a rockstar. Haha.
My husband would try the bacon cupcake.. but I might ask for a bite...
I think Saturday was National Bacon Day (I read it on Twitter - maybe from you?), so your cupcake was perfect timing! I tried a chocolate bar with bacon in it once and it was AMAZING, so I'm sure your cupcake was even better. Mmmm.
Kyle and I bought the couch!!!!!!!!!

Bacok sprinkles?? Ew!!
Bacon.....the base of the food pyramid.
Now, I LOVE bacon, like I am seriously obsessed with bacon, but I dont know if I'd eat bacon on a cupcake!
I want all of those. And a side of bacon.
Please tell me more about the one on the bottom left. ZOMG.
Hm, sounds like it could be interesting. What is with Elvis things involving bananas and peanut butter? I had something called a fried Elvis at the Wisconsin state fair that was peanut butter cups fried in banana batter. To. die. for. There was no bacon involved though.
Maybe I'm just totally ignorant of Elvis in asking....
Oh and what was that chocolate one on the bottom left? Looks Ah-mazing.
P.s. Meghan please please pretty please email me where in Chicago that breakfast cupcake place is! I live in the Chicago area and MUST try it! abigail at skywaitress dot com
Yummmm. I'd love to try that!
Ewwwww! That's just wrong!
I can only imagine how good it was! Sounds delish. Glad you had a good weekend. ANd hope the school year is already moving right along :)
Umm... I love bacon. And I love cupcakes. But I think they should remain separate.
Cupcakes like that make me nervous, but I'd be willing to try one like that. I love Wimberly, by the way. I have family there, and my mom goes every month for their big event called Market Days.
yea-i don't think I could do that...
PS-isn't Wimberley THEE cutest little town EVER?! Love the little town square!

Ok...so I tried the bacon cupcake at this place in the Woodlands not too long ago....
It was actually pretty good! I was surprised!
I want a cupcake so bad!!!!!!
I am still too scared to try bacon cupcakes but good for you, girl! Nothing really this holiday weekend. We were just lazy haha.
hmmm, don't think I could do a cupcake with bacon... Sounds like something John might like though :)
That's nuts! Were they like bacon bits or actual sprinkles that were "infused" with bacony goodness? I dont' eat bacon, but.. I totally want to try that. Yum!
Interesting... never even heard of bacon sprinkles. But I'd definitely try it! Especially if peanut butter is involved. :)
Oh my gosh...I LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate with bacon!! I want to try this cupcake NOW! Yummmm!
I went to Ouisies Table with some girlfriends once and one girl asked for the chocolate cake and a side of bacon. I nearly died but when I tried it I realized how good it was!
