Went to my go-to cupcake bakery, Buzz in Alexandria, VA, this weekend to take some delicious cupcakes to a friend’s BBQ. I ordered the usual: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla…when I looked at one more option.

Is that a piece of bacon on top of that cupcake? Yes! It was Buzz’s cupcake of the month… peanut butter bacon cupcake!! Of course, I had to try it, as I love the sweet and savory combo (have you put m&m’s in your movie popcorn?).

It was a chocolate cupcake, with a peanut butter frosting, with just a small sprinkle of bacon on top. Very intriguing – the peanut butter frosting was actually too sweet and overpowered the salty bacon… glad I tried it, but can’t say it was a winning combination for me.

The other good thing about Buzz Bakery is that it caters to those with celiac disease… gluten-free cupcakes and brownies that taste just as good as the regular ones!
