Honey Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Poppy Seed Buttercream
Eggy Cupcakes
The “Eggy” Cupcake is a cute vanilla cupcake that utilizes an apricot half to create an “eggy” look. The vanilla cupcake is rich and creamy flavored. The mild flavor makes this cupcake perfect for any party or season however, the cute factor of the “eggy” appearance can be bumped up a notch by using white buttercream to impersonate the white of the egg and while the apricot half is the perfect version of sunny side up.

Snowflake Cupcakes
Snowflake cupcakes can be served all winter long — not just around the holidays. Make yours out of standard ‘ol cupcake batter from your choice of flavors. Top of a luscious swirl of buttercream frosting (again, any flavor, any color, although blue is recommended.) And then add a few pearl dragees and some fondant snowflakes. If you want to top that, consider adding on a few sprinkles of shimmery edible sugar to make it look as though everything has (slightly) iced over. Tasty and beautiful!

Dutch Stroopwafel Cupcakes
A stroopwafel is a dutch treat — a waffle-shaped cookie flavored with caramel and maple syrup. They even have caramel sauce on the inside, making them all of the more tasty. If you can’t find stroopwafel’s in a grocery store near you, these cupcakes are the next best thing. The batter is enhanced with a little ground cinnamon, maple syrup and caramel sauce, and the frosting contains more of the same (minus the maple syrup.) The combination is both heavenly and unique — just what you need to add a twist to the dessert table at your next party!

Gluten Free Marble Cupcakes
Gluten Free Marble cupcakes are possibly the perfect comfort food for someone with a gluten food allergy. The orange extract is the secret ingredient that makes the chocolate flavor pop in the cake. The marble effect is achieved by adding the chocolate to only half the batter and then spooning it into the cupcake liners. The frosting is vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream placed on opposite sides of a frosting bag. They marble as they mix on exiting the bag. The result is delightful.

Coffee Squared Cupcakes
Normally when you think of coffee cake, simple cinnamon layered cakes come to mind. These cupcakes will blow those expectations out of the water, as they contain both coffee and chocolate — both in the batter and in the frosting (well, the coffee part anyway.) The coffee’d batter starts with the addition of espresso powder and brewed hot coffee, plus dark cocoa and a little sour cream, among other ingredients. Adding a little “zing” is the vanilla bean latte swiss meringue buttercream frosting.
