Cupcake wrappers are very easy to make and make your cupcakes looking really cute! I found the cupcake wrapper pattern from snowandgraham.com. Any kinds of paper will work...gift wrap paper, scrapbooking paper, even magzine paper. It's fun!

 

















This recipe can be also used for baking Banana Bread. Just pour the batter into one or two loaf pans, bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees F or until a chopstick comes out clean from the center of the loaf. Place a pan of water on the bottom shelve below the loaf pan while baking, it will keep the bread moist.
