The batter contains semi-ripe peaches that have been roasted in the oven, as well as vanilla, butter, sugar, eggs, and other more “traditional” ingredients. The vanilla buttercream is handmade from butter, sugar and heavy cream. After baking these tasty treats, top them liberally with the frosting and then serve!

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? Either way, these Snicker cupcakes are bound to be as big a hit. To make them, combine devil’s food cake mix, chocolate pudding mix and sour cream, water, vanilla, eggs and vegetable oil. For the frosting, make a homemade caramel buttercream. Top with chopped up Snickers bar for an added kick!

Miniature Patisserie Cupcake Topper
With a little work and a whole lot of sugarpaste, you can make a cupcake topper fit for a queen, or a bride to be, in this case. All that you need is a little creativity, some sugarpaste in a variety of colors (but mostly in pink, white and brown) and some vodka or edible glue to hold the layer together. By rolling the sugarpaste into balls and flattening them, you can create the effect of a stacked layer cake. Place on top of a cupcake – any flavor – and your guests will thank you!

Chocolate Souffle Cupcakes with Mint Cream
Flourless cupcakes don’t have to be tasteless and dry. Instead, they can be wonderful, airy and light, especially when filled with white chocolate mint cream, like in this recipe. The cupcake batter contains only chocolate, butter, coffee powder, eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Yes, you read that right: flourless means just that – no flour! Since they sink a little in the middle after baking, make some white chocolate mint cream and place a large dollop into the depression. Tasty, right?

Cherry Blossom Fortune Cupcakes
There’s no better time for a pink overload than Valentine’s Day! Although, these Cherry Blossom Fortune Cupcakes work just as well for springtime, too. The cupcake batter contains lemon zest, cherry blossom extract and a vanilla pod, along with the standard cupcake ingredients. The frosting is pink fondant, which is also used as a base for the toppers – fondant “fortune cookies” complete with fortune, and cherry blossoms, with matching pink centers. They’ll be so beautiful that you won’t want to eat them!

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Nothing pairs together as perfectly as chocolate and peanut butter — and this recipe has plenty of both in an easy to make format. Take chocolate cake mix and follow the directions on the box, only add this twist when pouring the mix into the cupcake liners: alternate the mix with spoonfuls of the peanut butter filling (peanut butter, an egg, cream cheese and powdered sugar). Toss a few chocolate chips onto the center of each and bake. These are so good that you don’t even need frosting!

Neapolitan Cupcakes
Neopolitan ice cream – that classic mix of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry – is hard to beat, although these neopolitan cupcakes definitely will end up on top. Made from a combination of white cupcake batter flavored with cocoa powder and strawberry jam (plus some left white to complete the color scheme) and matching frosting, these tasty treats do not look like the ice cream, but definitely taste like it! Serve with a side of aforementioned ice cream, just to add to the effect.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes
Nothing says Valentine’s Day quite like chocolate covered strawberries, except for chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes, that is. Yes, inspired by the St. Valentine’s classic, these cupcakes contain pureed fresh strawberries, vanilla extract and other classic ingredients like egg, salt, milk and flour. The frosting is made from cocoa, sugar, butter, salt, milk and vanilla. Top each with a generous helping of frosting, and, for an added touch, an entire chocolate covered strawberry.

Yellow Cupcakes and Pink Frosting
Sometimes the classics are hard to beat. Take these mini yellow cupcakes with pink frosting, for example. Sure, you could add in any number of unique ingredients to give them a different sort of taste or colorful profile, but why go that route when simple is best? These yellow cupcakes contain only standard ingredients, like flour and eggs, while the homemade buttercream frosting is tinted pink and topped with heart-shaped sprinkles. Impossible to resist, right?

Turkey Dinner Cupcakes by Paula Deen
If you are in the mood for something a little different, then look no further than these turkey dinner cupcakes. Rather than use a standard cupcake liner, these interesting treats use a thin slice of lunch meat turkey. The cupcakes themselves contain cranberry sauce and dried cranberries, as well as vanilla extract, flour, yogurt and eggs, among other things. Topped with a homemade maple buttercream, these treats are unusual with a twist, and quite tasty!
