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.

Rainbow Cupcakes
Cupcakes should be two things: edible and pretty. These rainbow cupcake fulfill both of those requirements. The cupcakes themselves are made from a simple vanilla batter (although you can use chocolate if you so desire.) Once they are baked and frosted with vanilla buttercream, the fun begins. Fill small spray bottles with food coloring (one color per bottle) and spray on top of the frosting. You’ll end up with a pretty (and tasty) rainbow!

Soda Fountain Cupcakes
The name of these soda fountain cupcakes says it all, although if you want it broken down further, root beer cupcakes and cream soda buttercream frosting are what these really are. And yes, the cupcake batter contains actual root beer, along with root beer extract, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and a few other, more basic, ingredients. The frosting consists of cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and cream soda extract. Now those are soda fountain cupcakes.

Root Beer Float Cupcakes
The thought of a root beer float cupcake may sound strange, but the end results are heavenly, especially when topped with vanilla icing for an extra bit of authenticity. The trick to making them taste like root beer lies in the root beer soda and extract that are in the batter. Yes, an actual cup of root beer goes into these! The rest of the ingredients sound more like cupcake batter — flour, salt and sugar, among others. Bake, frost and top with a straw to add to the appeal.

Snickers Cupcakes
There’s just something about a Snickers candy bar that makes it both memorable and tasty. Is it the nuts? The chocolate? The caramel? Or the combination of all three and then some?

For the frosting, make a homemade caramel buttercream. Top with chopped up Snickers bar for an added kick!

Root Beer Float Cupcakes
Root Beer Float Cupcakes are cute little imitations of the popular ice cream desserts. These are cupcakes that are made with root beer in the mix. It is a very subtly flavored cupcake that is easily made more pronounced by substituting Root Beer Schnapps for the root beer. The float similarity continues with a small scoop of ice cream surrounded by whipped cream and topped with a maraschino cherry garnish.
