It seems like the concept (and execution) of bacon cupcakes is a popular one that just keeps spreading. Bacon Today has covered bacon cupcakes several times already. When you think about it, they really may be the perfect treat for any time of day. They have cake, frosting, and bacon. Plus, they’re usually bite sized, for when you want a salty-sweet treat but you just don’t want to bake, buy or eat a full-sized cake.

Friend of the site Mike Geno has opened our eyes to yet another version of bacon cupcakes. He found them over at Life with Cake, and they have an awesome twist – french toast! They taste like breakfast meat, but they also taste like breakfast bread! We can’t say enough good things about this new combo.

What’s more, the creators of the french toast bacon cupcakes credit Portland’s Voodoo Donuts for inspiring the creation. We love to see these kinds of connections building in the bacon community-at-large. Bring it together, friends. We can all be one bacon.

You can find more information and the full recipe at Life is Better with Cake.

As my personal search for the perfect bacon cupcake recipe continues, I am excited that I keep finding other bacon lovers who have already integrated the two savory treats.

The folks over at Tee and Cakes in Boulder, Colorado have dedicated themselves to makin’ bacon at least once a week. Every Saturday they whip up a batch of Chocolate Bacon cupcakes and unleash them on a world that they understand deserves many more bacon desserts than it already has.

Bake-on, Tee and Cakes. We salute you.

Hot on the heels of our successful experiments with bacon brownies and bacon cinnamon rolls, I decided that I was going to try to make bacon cupcakes. And I will… eventually. But first I did a little search to see if anyone else had already done it. I thought I might find a good recipe to try or perhaps a warning against trying such a concoction.

Sure enough, it’s out there. The trusty San Francisco Yelp had a little blurb about some maple bacon cupcakes from the Cups and Cakes Bakery. According to one reader, ”Jesus has returned in the form of a half-dollar sized Maple Bacon cupcake.” Bold statement. Delicious nonetheless, I’m sure.
