I like cooking shows. You can get really fun ideas for recipes from the different people you see. The other night I was watching a show that was a cupcake competition. I did not particularly care for the cupcakes that the contestants made, but one of them made a cupcake sandwich. I liked the idea and I could not wait to try it, but I did not know what kind of cupcake sandwich to make. I thought of all of the sandwiches I have eaten, but none of them sounded good as a cupcake. Then it came to me. I could make a peanut butter and jelly cupcake. I looked through different recipes in books and on the web and did not see anything I liked, but I did find a base recipe for a Peanut Butter Cupcake. I knew it would be a good place to start for one of my recipes.

cupcakes in the center of the pan with your butter knife. If the knife comes out clean the cupcakes
are done. If not cook for 2 more minutes.
11. Turn out your cupcakes and let cool on a plate. Repeat step 10 until all of the batter is gone.
12. Spread out your cupcakes liners. In the bottom of each liner add one of your mini-cupcakes with
the flat side facing up.

14. Cut a small hole in the bottom corner of the quart bag and put your star tip through the hole.
15. Fill the bag with frosting.
16. Squirt 1 tablespoon of frosting on top of your mini-cupcakes in the liner. Top with another mini
cupcake flat side down to make your sandwich. Repeat the process until all of your cupcakes are
made into sandwiches.
17. Squirt more frosting on top of your cupcakes. If you know how to make designs you can do that
also. Top your cupcakes with the sprinkles and then refrigerate for 1 hour. This will make the
frosting set.
-If you do not have a star tip simply spread your frosting on with a butter knife.
