The Hummingbird Cupcakes reminded me of my mother, who used to make a Hummingbird cake all the time when I was younger. She hasn't made one in years... I'm totally going to tell her about this recipe and hopefully she will make me a Hummingbird cake, or I can make her some cupcakes.
Also seeing this recipe gave me a great idea. Make Cupcakes made out of some of my mothers and other family members home made cakes they are all famous for. Moms friend Mary Jones, she makes the BEST Red velvet cake around. So you know what that means, Im totally going to have to get the recipe off of her, and name the cupcakes after her, Marys Red Velvet cake, I mean Cupcakes.
Okay now on to the Humming Bird Cupcakes.
