When was the last time that you had a cupcake that really made you say “wow!”?
These delicious and popular dessert treats have lots of advantages. They are individually-sized, easy to make, and are more unique and creative than a regular cake.
However, if you are getting tired of traditional cupcake flavor combinations like chocolate with vanilla frosting, here are some ideas to jazz up your next batch of cupcakes.
Lemon and Blueberry
These two fruit flavors pair perfectly when made in cupcake form. The most popular way to combine the sweetness of blueberries with the tartness of lemons is to make a lemon cupcake base and add blueberries, topping with lemon icing. Yum!
Dark Chocolate and Espresso
This rich option is a favorite for those that don’t mind a little caffeine buzz. Incorporating strong coffee flavors into an icing or into the batter of the cupcake is a nice way to add complexity to a traditional chocolate cupcake.
Vanilla and Maple
This flavor combination is as classic as it gets, but it doesn’t get enough love in cupcake form as it should. You’ll think about a delicious homemade breakfast as you scarf down vanilla cupcakes topped with a delicious maple frosting.
Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter
In terms of combinations, this one is as time-tested and eater-approved as they come. Milk chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter icing are a great one-two punch.
