I have never tried an unusual flavored cupcake...just chocolate and vanilla...
I made cannoli flavored cupcakes once. They weren't bad, but to me, they didn't taste like cannoli. It was kind of a disappointment, really!
Someone served a margarita cupcake to me- it was wonderful. I asked for the recipe, still haven't gotten it!
lavender cupcake, lemon icing! yum
chellybelle77 @ yahoo.com
Mint, It was too over the top for me
I'm making chocolate covered bacon cupcakes. They are GOOD!
I've made an mean all-spice cupcake too.
I had mini cup- pies once and they were AWESOME!!!
I made some vegan matcha cupcakes once that were pretty amazing.
I haven't tried any yet, but I'm diggin the idea of trying the chai-cardamom you mentioned.
chocolate with carmelized bacon
French Toast Cupcakes! I made them once and they are a hit everyone always asks me to make them now :)
I'd have to say the Red Bull ones I made, it almost tastes like caramel but...not.
In fact I took these to a car meet and I think some people ate at least 3-4 each after the initial "...YOU MADE CUPCAKES WITH RED BULL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" reaction
I once had friend's cupcake that tasted like minty toothpaste. She was trying a new vegan recipe, replacing butter with applesauce.
It would be Red Velvet. They were not traditional colors though. They were for Halloween so it was orange cake and black frosting.
pomegranate and zuchini!
I think an egg nog cupcake would be good - with some sort of nutmeg buttercream frosting. also in summer a watermelon cupcake with a fresh strawberry frosting would be fun, esp with a fresh sliced strawberry on top!
wasabi carrot cupcake from my aunt!!! It was slightly spicy from the wasabi that provided a kick from the usual carrot cupcake. I love it!!!
Sour Mamba Cupcakes! Surprisingly delicious :)
Guiness cupcakes with a coffee ganache frosting...they were yummy and I don't like beer or coffee
I've made Maple Cupcakes with Maple Frosting & Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Lime Buttercream Frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero. When I did I accidently switched the frostings on some so that was a weird but good taste.
I haven't tried anything unusual...I'm So boring! :) But how about a fruity-chocolatey-mint medaly in a cupcake! :) Your yogurt/ice cream sounded so good! - maybe in a cupcake it would be just as scrumptious?
I haven't really tried anything unusual lately, either. However, my friend made two tone cupcakes for her bf's birthday a few weeks ago. They were brownie on the bottom and yellow cake on the top. Then, they had a yummy cream cheese frosting. They were wonderful!
I haven't tried anything unusual. I did see a recipe for a wasabi cupcake.
I would like to try a chocolate cupcake with some heat like a chipotle or cayenne pepper.
Bacon cinnamon. Sounds like heaven to me.
Chai cupcakes at Sugarland in Chapel Hill, NC! It's such a wonderful place and you never know what flavor they'll have next! Always a tasty adventure!
