I don't know if this is that unusual, but I've had an amazing Margarita cupcake.
That maple bacon cupcake sounds delicious! I'll have to keep my eye out...
Thai curry.
Definitely a brown butter pancetta cupcake with cherry filling and brown sugar sour cream icing. Sweet & savory
Guinness cupcake! I was craving chocolate but this was all they had. I am not a fan of Guinness but the cupcake was surprisingly delicious!
Green tea cupcake with red bean frosting in Japan! Nom nom nom.... So yummy...
Also saw some weird stuff that I was too afraid to try, like Sea Urchin Icecream. Blegh.
I had a margarita flavored cupcake. That was a bit unusual, but very good!
I make a banana-bacon-peanut butter cupcake that is TO DIE FOR - I love it so much!!! I also had an orange vanilla blue moon hefeweisen cupcake - yum!
most unusual i've tried is not that unusual- guiness and chocolate with bailey's cream cheese frosting.
though one time i tried to make strawberry limeade cupcakes! they were unusual in that they were disgusting. must always double check to see if a recipe is from a vegan blog.
oh,most unsual definetly has to mango and pineapple explosion. sounds weird but tastes GOOD
defintely beetroot and polenta...
weird...
definitely proved to myself with that cupcake that i dont like beetroot in any form..
at least it was a pretty bright purple colour :)
I tried once sweet tomato cupcake..not bad...not bad...

We don't have cupcakes sold where I live, so I only eat what I bake, but the most weird ones I made were chocolate with zucchini. I would like to try carrot cupcakes!

I've never had any unusual cupcake flavors! I did recently make nutmeg muffins, however, but that's not very unusual at all, nor is it a cupcake.
Would love to make a bacon cupcake to try. bacon and cake how could it not be good.
I made chocolate chai cupcakes last year. They turned out great, but were definitely the most unusual cupcake flavor I've had.
Hmm I'm pretty old fashion when it comes to my cake flavors, but the southern girl in me would love to try a maple bacon cupcake. I mean BACON makes everything better right???
I made pine nut cupcakes with basil frosting once, they were good!
I keep seeing all these cupcakes with bacon popping up, I'd love to try one! I'm too chicken to make that one myself, I'd never hear the end of it if it was a dud!
BLT cupcakes from More in Chicago. It wasn't my fav.... I liked their Bacon Maple cupcake better :)
I'd LOVE to try a maple bacon cupcake AND a margarita cupcake!!

I tasted onion marmalade cupcake and it was gooey and good!!!!
Thai basil-lemon-rhubarb cupcakes! Weird, but tasty!
Margarita Cupcakes! Actually kind of delicious....kind of :-)
There was a tomato basil one that I tried which...wasn't too spectacular.
Maple Bacon intrigues me... I've never gotten too weird with cupcakes though... this saddens me :-)
I've made parmesan chive popovers, which is kind of like a cupcake - and delicious, but I would like to try a Shirley Temple flavored cupcake - sprite in the cake batter and grenadine flavored frosting!
