Suzanne, of Kokocooks, just threw a Winnie the Pooh Birthday Party, which featured beehive cupcakes! Love how the cupcake stand, and even the cupcake wrappers, perfectly complement the cupcake design. (You’ll want to visit her blog post and also check out the super-clever “acorn bites.”) Bravo Suzanne!

The end of summer is quickly approaching, before it gets here I recommend everyone gets their fill of peaches. I spotted this peach cobbler cupcake recipe on Une-Duex Senses and am tempted to combine two delicious desserts into one awesome cupcake!

The other day my dad brought home cannoli and as I ate one I thought they would make great cupcakes. I thought the outside tube would make a good cake, top it with the filling as frosting, throw some chocolate chips in there and you would have a delicious cupcake! Then I found Tide and Thyme’s blog and realized some one else already had the idea for cannoli cupcakes! The cannoli cupcakes Tide and Thyme made look as good as the ones I had dreamed up in my head!

I love the ombre effect trend that is popular right now! Between the celebrity hair styles and the Pinterest DIY ideas the ombre effect seems to be everywhere! Even stores like The Container Store have jumped on board with their ombre colored crunch cans! Somewhere Splendid definitely knows what’s popular right now! They blogged about how to make ombre effect vanilla cupcakes! You obviously don’t have to make your cupcakes blue like the picture, you can choose any color you like! These would be very cute for a baby shower!

Bakers Royal always has the most creative ideas! We’ve already shared with you the peppermint mocha cupcakes, the creme brulee cupcakes, and the fun cupcake pudding shooters! Naomi has come up with another great cupcake recipe that I couldn’t resist sharing; beer and pretzel cupcakes! These cupcakes are a great combination since they are salty and sweet which is very popular. I love the shared look of the pretzels and agree with Bakers Royale, it looks very dramatic! I know that girls like beer but for some reason these seem like a great cupcake idea for a guys birthday. There are also notes to turn the cupcake into a chocolate caramel pretzel cupcake if you are not a beer drinker.

I won’t speak for your family, but our family eats a lot of pizza. So what better way to snazz up the same old same old than to use the cupcake tin? You’d get more yummy crispy crust this way! Visit Mr. Kate for the recipe!

I think these cupcakes were made for me, not just because I love the classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate. But because sometimes I get tired by the time it comes to decorating the cupcakes. I’ve already made the cupcakes and frosting with a looming sink full of dishes and often I’m crunched for time so I find myself wishing my cupcakes would frost themselves. Which is why these cupcakes are perfect, these chocolate cupcakes are topped with generous scoop of peanut butter cookie dough. They sound delicious and don’t have to be decorated perfectly to look good, just scoop on the frosting and you’re cupcakes are done!

I’m constantly looking for cupcake ideas that my friends and family would enjoy. My dad and sister are huge lemon meringue pie fans. They would pick lemon meringue pie over any other dessert, or my hope is that this used to be the case. I just came across this lemon meringue cupcake recipe from Broma Bakery. The inside is a lemon curd, the top is a meringue, just like the pie version. I plan on making this recipe for my dad and sister in hopes that the cupcake version will be better than the pie!

Do you like Jello shots? How about cupcakes? What about Jello Shot Cupcakes? I Heart Cupcakes made Jello Shot Cupcakes from a cake mix, Jello, and rum (for those of age). I’ve never been a big fan of the texture of Jello but maybe I’d like Jello in a cupcake. Our neighborhood holiday party this weekend might be the perfect time to test out this recipe.

I recall several birthdays from when I was growing up where I requested my birthday cake to be a castle cake. I loved that the homemade cake had ice cream cones covered in frosting for the towers. These party hat cupcakes reminded me of my childhood birthday cake since they are cupcakes topped with ice cream cones decorated to look like party hats. Cookies & Cups shared this cupcake idea that can be customized to fit any birthday party color scheme.

Check out this handmade polymer clay cupcake pendant from Be Fearless. Isn’t she talented? In case you need one of your own, she walks you through the entire process on her blog! I think I need one, but I don’t think I’m artistic (or patient) enough to pull this off.

I love goat cheese! I am constantly adding goat cheese to sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes and now that I have found Buttercream Blonde’s recipe for chocolate and goat cheese cupcakes, I think I will be adding goat cheese to cupcakes! These nontraditional cupcakes definitely sound like something unique food lovers will enjoy. The cupcakes are made up of three of my favorite things, a buttermilk chocolate cake, goat cheese frosting, and are topped with red wine reduction!

Have you jumped on the salted caramel bandwagon? I feel like everything is suddenly marketed as having salted caramel in it and honestly I am a fan! I love the salty sweet combo! I am very excited about this recipe for salted caramel cupcakes because the Cake website claims that it is the best cupcake ever. I think will have to make these cupcakes and see for myself if they are worth doubling the recipe as Paige of Style suggests. The best part is that the toppers, shown to the left, are included in the original blog post!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Remember those breakfast cupcake posts? Similar to the cinnamon toast crunch and Cap’n crunch cookie cupcakes, today’s St. Patrick’s Day cupcake idea is inspired by breakfast cereal. Lucky Charm Cupcakes! As a kid I loved Lucky Charms, well I think I really liked the marshmallows, and now I can’t help but wonder if cupcakes that include the cereal are as magically delicious! I found several recipes for Lucky Charm cupcakes, two, shown above, called for vanilla cupcakes topped with frosting and then the cereal. These recipes included one from AMK Designs and Delights, the recipe calls for homemade vanilla cupcakes and a sprinkle of lucky charms. For those pressed for time, Betty Crocker’s recipe calls for yellow cake mix, lucky charms, and edible glitter.
For the bakers that take time to bake from scratch, Cupcake Project has a recipe for Lucky Charm Cupcakes using homemade lucky charms that are in the crust, the batter, and on top of the frosting! This, shown to the left, cupcake sounds more time consuming but also sounds like the true Lucky Charm cupcake!

By a show of hands, who would enjoy a Guinness-chocolate cake, filled with chocolate ganache (which has been spiked with Irish whiskey) and topped with vanilla buttercream (which has been spiked with Baileys Irish Cream). Do not eat these Irish cupcakes and then drive, please.

The name of these cupcakes is so long but they sound so delicious and like something I would make and love! Joy the Baker made these Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, Toasted Marshmallow cupcakes. There’s so many different components to these cupcakes but each part seems to compliment the others. Chocolate and peanut butter are one of my favorite combinations and I love the thought of cookie dough inside a cupcake. After majoring in nutiriton in college I am well aware of the food safety issues related to eating raw cookie dough but who doesn’t love cookie dough? Top the cupcakes off with a toasted marshmallow meringue and you have one deliciously rich cupcake combination!
