A thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, icing and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied. 

The combination of chocolate and raspberries is to die for!  In truffles, cake, ice cream…  It makes me weak at the knees!  I made these cupcakes a few times over the last month trying to find the perfect chocolate cupcake and frosting combo.  I wanted a cupcake that was rich, moist, held together well, and had a good rounded top (for looks)… and this is it!  The raspberry cream cheese frosting is divine and similar to this blackberry one.  It’s color is all natural from the pureed raspberries making it the most beautiful pale pink.

                                          

These sticky toffee cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream are just the best. Made with dates, buttercream and lashings of double cream, they are absolutely scrumptious.

Everybody’s favourite pudding is brought bang up-to-date as a cupcake with this recipe. Choose from two alternative toppings and either make your own caramel or use a jar of dulce de leche, the choice is yours.

 

                      

These German Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting are definitely on top of my favorite cupcakes list. Luxurious and rich, these are a chocolate lover dream come true. I am a huge fan of German Chocolate Cake, I actually have a version on the blog and it’s one of my most popular recipes. It makes perfect sense, as the cake is to die for.

I am a huge coconut lover, in my opinion, it adds so much flavor to desserts. Because of this, I went ahead and added the classic German Chocolate Cake coconut pecan filling into the cupcakes and also on top of it.

                                  

And these soft and sweet Coconut Cupcakes have a coconut truffle stuffed in the middle, and are topped with an tangy, creamy white chocolate cream cheese frosting! This irresistible treat with be a favorite of any coconut lover.

The cupcakes are on the denser side, filled with coconut, with the most delicious flavor and delightful texture. The truffle in the middle is a wonderful surprise, and the white chocolate cream cheese frosting is super creamy, with the perfect mix of tangy and sweet.

I do love my coconut, but I know there are a lot of haters out there. Unfortunately, this isn’t the cupcake for you – but you should definitely make whatever your favorite cupcakes are and throw some of this frosting on top. It’s pretty darn amazing.

To make the strawberry cupcakes extra special, top them with white chocolate strawberry frosting made from pure white chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries. I admit that the cupcakes don’t have a super strong strawberry flavor– you’ll taste it, but it’s truly brought out when paired with our strawberry frosting.
