Snickerdoodles are cinnamon-y sugar-y cookies that when done right, are quite tasty indeed. In comparison, these snickerdoodle cupcakes take the cake, quite literally. The batter contains both cinnamon and sugar, plus vanilla, flour, baking powder, eggs, salt, butter and milk. After baking, top each with a very heaping helping of meringue frosting (you can season it with vanilla, coconut or even coffee, if you’d like) before dusting on even more cinnamon and sugar. Light and tasty, these cupcakes come out better than the cookies!

Coconut Cupcakes
Who’s up for a coconut cupcake topped with vanilla frosting and even more coconut? Exactly: everybody. The batter on these tasty treats is made from flour, salt, baking powder, yogurt, shredded coconut, vanilla, sugar, and a whole host of other ingredients. The frosting consisted of homemade vanilla buttercream that is just sweet enough to complement the coconut in the batter, as well as the shredded coconut that goes on top of the frosting.

Pudding Cupcakes
The thought of putting pudding into cupcake batter might sound a little strange to most people, but to those “in the know” it isn’t so bizarre. Adding prepared pudding to the mix makes the cupcakes thicker, moister and more…. yummy. These pudding cupcakes have tapioca pudding in the batter, alongside vanilla, flour, sugar, butter and other more “traditional” cupcake ingredients. By the time these are done baking, they are so moist that they don’t even need frosting — just a little sprinkle of powdered sugar!

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.
