(I&#39;ve made your red velvet cupcakes too, and they are soooo good) I was inspired by the fact that you use stuff that&#39;s around your kitchen, so I replaced the squash with zucchini and had to leave out the cookies, but also added cardamom and vanilla bean to the frosting. Oh.My.God. So good. I want to try the original recipe too (as well as all the others you have up)! Thank you!icelandichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13909717423521985112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-12182061427817447262009-10-06T12:56:43.260-07:002009-10-06T12:56:43.260-07:00What a great idea.

Do the cookies add any texture to the cake? Is it like adding graham crumbs? Hmm, amaretti cookies and graham crumbs... :D I&#39;d love to test this in banana bread, too.

I was looking for something else to do with the leftovers, and this is it! I love the idea of butternut squash in a cupcake along with the amaretti.
