Baklava Baked In A Cupcake

Working with food and seeing amazing creations everyday, we’re no strangers to drooling on the job. But it’s those rare moments in the week where you get to see a creation that has a certain wit, flair and smartness to it. I’d like to give that nod to these crazy cupcakes. Megan Seling‘s excellent pairing of a homemade baklava, drenched with the typical honey and rosewater syrup, then subsequently baked into a honey vanilla cupcake is interesting enough. But in order to hold up the integrity of the Baklava, she’s included a spiced buttercream frosting on the dome with a sprinkle of salty pistachios. I think it’s fair to say there is a fair amount of winning in this particular recipe.
