Hello All,
It is Monday Not a very cheerful Monday person. I thought I would share a cupcake with you all. It is a strawberry pound cake with a french buttercream strawberry filling and a white ganache topping. So what are your favorite combinations? I love cupcakes and I am always looking for ideas.


Thanks and have a happy day

I like chocolate ganache filled and decorated chocolate cupcakes. I also read about a pomegranate (did I spell that right?!) cupcake that had the juice drizzled on top with pomegranate icing. That sounded really good! Not one of my kids (or husband) are morning people ANY DAY but I am, so I'm sure they're glad I changed shifts and leave earlier than them now! Can you imagine my husband driving them to school?

That looks and sounds delicious! I've just started getting into cupcakes and would love to see some more combinations, too!

Bananas Foster - Butter cake with bananas, rum and a butter/cinnamon/sugar mix baked in ... vanilla IMBC with cinnamon & caramel drizzled on top! Yuuuuummmmmm

In the bakery the other day we made Boston Creme cupcakes Butter cake with bavarian creme filling and iced with ganache.
Black Forest cupcakes chocolate cupcakes iced with sweetened whipped cream and topped with cherries.
Strawberry Cheesecake Strawberrry cake with cheesecake filling and we iced them with sweetened whipped cream and topped with a strawberry garnish

Hmmm...Devils food cupcakes with cookies and cream frosting and dark chocolate drizzle! Yum!
or
Moist mango-coconut cupcakes with Cointreau-flavored whipped cream and passionfruit drizzle! Double Yum!

Bohemia,
The mango-coconut cupcake sounds absolutely sinful , mind sharing your recipe?

Claire

All of those sound YUMMY!

How do you fill a cupcake? (sorry if this a dumb question)
Thanks,

On Dawn's website (she's the greatest!) she fills them with tip 230 but says any tip can be used. Just stick the tip halfway down and don't squeeze too much in or the cake will break when the wrapper is removed. She does it in three places and says it leaves about as much filling as a ding dong. Thanks Dawn!

What a good looking cupcake. Sounds really good.
