Don’t you just love mini desserts? There seems to be a little less guilt, right? {hee-hee} While making these, I remembered making the Banana Pudding Shots. One just didn’t quite seem like enough. I recently got a new cookbook (recommended by my sister-n-law) called The Cupcake Bible. I couldn’t wait to try a recipe or two, bringing us to this recipe, Mini Boston Cream Pies.

Have you ever started a recipe and suddenly realized that you were short ONE ingredient? Yep! Then your left to try to figure out if you might have a substitute in your pantry without having to run to the grocery store. Been there. Done that. What did we do before the internet?

Well, I used a yellow cake mix for this recipe, calling for vegetable oil (of course). I was delighted to find that I could use Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead. Did you know that you could do that? It’s actually recommended for extra moist, fluffier cakes! So, now you can imagine how extra moist and fluffy these mini treats are!
