whats your favourite cupcake flavour?

[bettykelly123]

just some research im doing for a chartiy event, i need a list of cupcakes im willing to donate so i need something easy but tasty.

Almond and vanilla filled with chocolate ganache.

I do a nutella with Baileys butter cream is loved by adults. With kids plain vanilla/choc work best as they are all about the icing - the more colourful the better. As a generic everyone loves them cakes vanilla with fresh strawberry buttercream and chocolate with chocolate icing and hidden raspberry in the cake and topped with a raspberry.

Fairy cake flavour.

chocolate, always chocolate

unless there is lemon...or almond

or red velvet

Yes, what ARE cupcakes exactly??

i love the sound of both.......
blueberry will you give me the recipe for the nutella and bailey buttercream.

Yummy Lavender ones....

Red velvet or carrot cake - Yum!

Chocolate cakes with peanut butter icing. My favourite flavour of the moment. Although, for safetys sake, I probably wouldn't do a peanut based one.

well i class a cupcake as being a posh bun decorated all fancy. but thats just me. i suppose its a bun really.

Lemon

ooh peanut butter icing, recipe please.
That counts as lowcarb, non?

Yeah right, I'm saving that baby for a possible prize winning entry Olivia! My recipe won me a holiday to Zante on here, about 4 years ago!

I kinda make it up tbh, but this is where I started I think.

Pimms cupcakes with strawberry, orange, mint and cucumber icing. Fiddle but delicious.

Orange sponge with a chocolate ganache icing

Ooh perfect thread. I'm making cupcakes for the first time tomorrow for a friend's birthday.

Taytotayto - it is very simple, I do 3 eggs, 6 flour,sugar,butter and 3tablespoons of nutella all wizzed together in the mixer, into cupcake cups, baked at 150 for 18-20mins. Baileys buttercream is 150g butter and 4tbsp baileys beaten together until butter is soft add about 400g (you may need a little more) and beat until smooth and fluffy. Eat with a spoon!

red velvet, or rose

Ooo blueberry, just saw your recipe for bailey and nutella cupcakes, thats ones i'm gonna have to try.

Blueberry, do you really bale them at 150? Is it a fan oven? Seems v low to me...but I've never made cup cakes :)

Red velvet or carrot cake. Got to have lashings of cream cheese frosting on though, I'm really not fussed about buttercream.

it does sound low but i also have a fan oven and things are generally cooked 20degrees less, blueberry may have an aga tho, different again i guess.

I normally cook my cupcakes on 160 fan for 20mins ish and more important middle shelf.

I've never made cupcakes. The peanut butter icing ones sound yummmmmmmmmmm. Also the Baileys ones.

Yes I do, 170 in normal oven 150 in my fan, which has various hot spots so any hotter and I end up with some overcooked ones.
