Creamsicles – yes, the tasty ice cream treat – become cupcakes in this daring recipe. The batter is made from vanilla cake mix, a can of orange pop (or soda, depending on what part of the country you live in) and all of the items that the cake mix requires. The frosting consists of Cool Whip, skim milk, vanilla pudding mix, the juice of one orange and orange food coloring to give it that perfect creamsicle flavor. Think back to your childhood as you eat these scrumtious cakes!

Pina Colada Cupcakes with Fresh Kiwi Frosting
Decadence at its best is about these tropical tasting cupcakes filled with spicy pina colada and topped with a frosting of fresh kiwi fruit. Tasting one is not enough to satisfy anyone, you simply have to eat more to bring you back to normality. With a batter that is both thick and oh so rich, it turns out as a delicately moist delicious cupcake that is absolutely too tempting to resist eating.

Coconut Cupcakes
Nothing says summertime quite like a tasty coconut cupcake. If you close your eyes as you bite into it, you can almost pretend that you are on a tropical island! The batter for these luscious treats consists of coconut milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract and several other ingredients, while the frosting is a mix of corn syrup, egg whites and sugar. Sprinkle on some bits of toasted coconut and serve to your guests, friends and family – or just keep them for yourself!

Lemon Drop Cupcakes
These Lemon Drop Cupcakes are a real treat to eat. The lemon-lime Soda added to the ingredients makes them tasty, light, fluffy and quite different from the traditional lemon drop cupcake. They are even more delicious when you add a drop of yellow food coloring to the whipped frosting and then decorate them with some sprinkles. Lemon Drop Cupcakes provide a welcome addition to other dishes for serving at a party or when you invite guests for afternoon tea.

PINA COLADA CUPCAKES
While this cupcake can’t take over mom’s duties for the day, it can offer her a taste of a tropical getaway. It’s a coconut cake brushed with pineapple syrup and then topped with a silky pineapple Swiss meringue buttercream. Topped with a cherry and a drink umbrella, this cupcake is about as close to the real thing as you can get without needing a straw. I made these cupcakes for a neighborhood block party and was told they were “the hit of the party,” so I promise you they’ll be making more appearances around here in the near future.

STRAWBERRY LIME CUPCAKES FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL
The following Sunday we celebrated again, this time with a proper birthday dessert: Strawberry Lime Cupcakes. I took my favorite white cupcake recipe – Perfect White Cupcake: Recipe for Vanilla Bean Sour Cream Cupcakes and brightened them up with some lime zest.
And for such a sweet girl who loves the color pink I made sure to top them with some delicious pink strawberry lime frosting – to which Logan informed us that he likes strawberries as long as they are in frosting! These are definitely a new favorite for all of us.

Raspberry Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache
In this recipe, almonds, chocolate and raspberries combine to form a light, fluffy, tasty and utterly unique treat. The batter contains chopped up chunks of fresh raspberries and almond extract, along with a whole host of more “standard” ingredients like flour, salt, butter, eggs and milk, among others. The chocolate is added later in the form of homemade chocolate ganche frosting. Top with a whole fresh raspberry, some sprinkles, or anything else that looks great. You won’t regret it!

Raspberry Rosewater Cupcakes
Looking for a fresh, fruity, original cupcake recipe? Then this could be the one for you. Raspberries give a sweet zing and bursts of colour, with rosewater providing a wonderfully subtle floral scent. The decoration on these cupcakes is undeniably beautiful. Using actual rose petals sprinkled with sugar is a lovely touch which lends itself brilliantly to a themed tea party, and positioned on a tiered cupcake stand, would make a stunning substitute for a traditional wedding cake.

Carob Cupcakes with Chicory, Dates, Figs, and Almonds
These are cupcakes with a difference. They could easily be mistaken for carrot cupcakes or even little Zucchini breads. However, the ingredients are really dates, figs, almonds and chicory and are finished off with a topping of almond butter frosting. They are most appetizing to look at and very delicious to munch. Furthermore, they are most tasty for starting the day with, and to nibble at breakfast time with your cup of tea.
